ITAMG Decommissioning Services for Cologix Customers
ITAMG helps Cologix customers retire customer-owned servers, storage and networking equipment at US facilities, with removal, data treatment, secure transport and asset reporting agreed in the project scope.
Define the servers, storage, network equipment and customer-owned rack components approved for retirement. ITAMG can combine inventory reconciliation, de-racking, packing, erasure or physical destruction, transport and disposition reporting. Give each asset group an approved destination and identify what must remain in service.
If your account will use Cologix Remote Hands, assign those tasks alongside ITAMG’s work in the statement of work. Record the point where equipment is released to ITAMG, the required data state and the records needed at completion. ITAMG’s service is independently contracted by the customer.
Plan Cologix Equipment Removal Using Current Customer Requirements
Collect the current Cologix Facility User Guide and executed customer agreement before scheduling equipment removal or submitting account requests.
Cologix’s current guide access page directs customers to InLogix and then Help. An older downloadable guide may still appear in search. Use the current customer guide for the facility instead of treating old dock, access or disconnect instructions as current.
The public August 2025 US contract schedules form addresses non-renewal, equipment removal and contractor insurance separately. It is a reference for identifying topics to locate in your executed agreement, service order and amendments; its example terms are not a universal pickup deadline.
-
Current facility guide
Ask the authorized account contact to obtain the applicable guide through InLogix > Help. Record its version or date and the facility to which it applies.
-
Non-renewal and service requests
Locate the applicable notice and service-change provisions in the executed documents. Name the account holder responsible for confirming dates and submitting requests.
-
Equipment removal and space return
Locate the removal and return provisions separately from non-renewal. Confirm the accepted work window and evidence of any required space acceptance.
-
Contractor requirements
Identify the required contractor documents, insurance and site-access arrangements before booking the crew. Obtain facility confirmation for the actual work.
-
Asset disposition scope
Attach the approved equipment list, media treatment and destinations. Agree independent collection and disposition records rather than relying on a contractual remedy for property left behind.

Request a ConsultationCoordinate Cologix Equipment Handoffs and ITAMG Data Treatment
The physical handoff should identify who selects, removes, packs, releases and accepts the customer’s equipment.
ITAMG can scope erasure or physical destruction on-site or at an ITAMG facility. Confirm the acceptable data state before equipment leaves the deployment. If the customer changes an asset’s destination during removal, record the approval and carry it through to final reporting.
ITAMG’s technicians are trained, insured and background checked, and its logistics capabilities include GPS-tracked, insured vehicles. Agree the collection record and serialized destruction or recycling certificates in advance so your team can reconcile the equipment released with its final disposition.
| Handoff decision | Information to agree |
|---|---|
| Inventory responsibility | Who verifies the hardware against the released asset list and escalates discrepancies. |
| Physical preparation | Who performs de-racking, packing and movement to the approved collection point. |
| Media treatment | Which assets or drives require erasure or destruction, where it occurs and what evidence is required. |
| Custody transfer | Who releases and accepts the batch and how the shipment is linked to its asset list. |
| Equipment destinations | Which assets are retained, redeployed, assessed for resale or recycled. |
Cologix Equipment Decommissioning Costs and Completion Records
An ITAMG quote for Cologix customer equipment depends on the inventory, removal tasks, data treatment, collection arrangements and potential resale value.
Collection and data-treatment records explain the equipment work. They do not establish that a cross-connect, service, contract or billing obligation has ended. The account holder must obtain the applicable operator confirmations for the actual agreement and facility.
For an ITAMG quote, share the inventory, physical preparation required, access window, media treatment and reporting needs. Separate service charges, operator charges and any hardware recovery credit. ITAMG’s national decommissioning service overview explains the shared asset-retirement process.
-
Accept the asset records
Reconcile the collected inventory with media treatment, recovery or recycling outcomes and approved exceptions.
-
Obtain operator confirmations
The account holder tracks the relevant support requests and any service or space-return acceptance separately.
-
Reconcile the project finances
Review ITAMG service charges and any agreed recovery settlement without assuming they determine the operator’s final account balance.
Cologix Data Centers and Facility Directory
The Cologix directory groups facility listings by operator. This ITAMG service resource addresses customer-owned equipment at US facilities; verify the country, current facility and customer deployment in your account records before preparing the work scope.
Browse Cologix data center directory.
Use the listings for facility identification. Your customer agreement and current facility instructions establish access, work approvals and collection requirements; a directory entry does not grant permission to remove equipment.
For local equipment-removal planning, use ITAMG’s resources for Columbus / Central Ohio decommissioning, New Jersey decommissioning, Ashburn / Northern Virginia decommissioning, and Dallas / Fort Worth decommissioning. Confirm the actual municipality and facility before arranging the work; metro coverage can include nearby cities.
Cologix Data Center Decommissioning Questions
Do old Cologix disconnect instructions apply to every current project?
No. Identify the current facility process and the customer’s applicable agreement. A dated public procedure or another country’s instructions should not be treated as universal current policy.
Can Remote Hands perform some physical tasks?
Cologix advertises on-site support. Confirm the specific task availability and arrangement for your facility and account, then define the handoff to the independently scoped equipment retirement work.
Why are there separate operator and asset completion records?
They answer different questions. Operator confirmations address the relevant service or space request; asset records address equipment custody, data treatment and final disposition. A project owner may need both to close the overall retirement.
Is this an ITAMG service for Canadian Cologix facilities too?
This resource is scoped to US customer deployments. Do not apply its planning context to a Canadian site without separately confirming the service, facility requirements and applicable arrangements.
