IT Asset

Disposition Services(ITAD)

Evernex prioritizes data protection and provides industry–compliant guarantees through secure data erasure and destruction processes. These ensure peace of mind, confidentiality and the security of your sensitive information throughout the entire ITAD process. 

First, Evernex’s secure ITAD disposition disassembles and removes the asset from the data center environment. We permanently destroy any data on the hardware, and refurbish usable parts for resale or spare part replacements. We send recyclable materials for processing and responsibly dispose of non-recyclable elements, so nothing goes to landfill.

Key factors preventing more businesses from recycling their unwanted equipment include the absence of close-by facilities and a lack of awareness about electronics recycling. Some businesses worry about their data security, or simply don’t know where to start or how they can benefit.

Other challenges include asset tracking in complex data center environments, leading to the risk of assets being misplaced or lost during disposition, and evaluating equipment value. Factors such as market demand, condition, and depreciation rates can affect asset valuation.

This is why the best option is to partner with a certified ITAD provider with the qualifications and experience to manage the entire process. An Evernex expert can help resolve all your doubts today.

Implementing best practices is crucial for the successful execution of IT asset disposition. These include:

• Inventory management: Maintain accurate records of all IT assets, including their locations, specifications, EOL and EOSL dates, and ownership.
• Data classification: Classify data based on its sensitivity and importance, ensuring that confidential information receives the highest level of protection.
• Secure transportation: When assets need to travel to a disposal or recycling facility, secure transport methods to prevent unauthorized access during transit.
• Asset tag removal: Remove asset tags, labels, or company logos from retired assets to prevent data leakage or unauthorized identification of your organization.
• Industrial compliance: Adhere to industry standards and best practices, such as NIST guidelines in the US, WEEE in the EU and ISO guidelines.
• Certified service providers: Partner with reputable ITAD service providers who have the necessary certifications and expertise, prioritizing secure and environmentally responsible practices.
• Documentation and reporting: Maintain detailed records, including data erasure certificates, disposal certificates, and resale documentation.

IT recycling is the process of using parts of unwanted equipment to repair or upgrade other hardware devices. This process of recovery, refurbishment and resale extends components’ lifecycles and prevents them from ending up in landfill.

Almost every electrical and electronic device can be broken down into its constituent components for recycling. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Circuit boards
• Data storage media
• Networking equipment
• Cables
• Servers
• Monitors

All these devices contain reusable materials, even if they are legacy models or physically damaged.
