Onsite destruction and logistics for data centre and end-user assets
Solution Guides
In an era of rapid scaling, the gap between procurement and secure End-of-Life (EoL) management creates significant risk. Iron Mountain eliminates this gap by bringing industrial-grade destruction directly to your rack and IT assets, ensuring your data never leaves your sight.
The onsite advantage
- Zero-Chain-of-Custody risk: Eliminate the friction of offsite transport and multiple internal authorisations. We destroy media at your doorstep.
- The “Secure Zone” protocol: For high-security environments, we deploy specialised, portable shredding equipment directly into your data hall.
- Total liability transfer: We assume full ownership of shredded material, backed by full waste transfer licenses and a “clean site” guarantee.
- Unrivaled surveillance: Each vehicle features up to seven customisable CCTV cameras with remote client viewing for 100% transparency.
