ITAMG Decommissioning Services for CoreSite Customers
ITAMG helps CoreSite customers retire customer-owned IT equipment at US facilities, combining the agreed on-site removal work with data destruction, secure transport and asset reporting.
Start with the servers, storage, network equipment and customer-owned rack components approved for retirement. ITAMG can reconcile the inventory, de-rack and pack the hardware, process its media and assess equipment for resale or recycling. Specify the assets staying live and the customer contact who can approve any inventory changes.
If you are using CoreSite’s Remote Hands services, identify the tasks already ordered, such as escorts, packing or labeling. Assign the remaining work to ITAMG in the statement of work, including the point where ITAMG accepts equipment custody. This makes labor, logistics and reporting responsibilities clear before either team starts.
| Workstream | Responsibility to confirm |
|---|---|
| Customer decisions | Your asset and IT owners approve what can leave service, what must stay, and how data must be treated. |
| CoreSite assistance | Your authorized customer contact arranges facility requests and any Remote Hands tasks required for the removal. |
| ITAMG disposition | ITAMG scopes the agreed removal, collection, data treatment, resale or recycling, and asset-level reporting. |
CoreSite Data Center Equipment Removal Requests
A prepared CoreSite removal request identifies the deployment, equipment, customer contacts, permitted work and collection arrangements.
CoreSite’s current Service Delivery Platform documentation lists equipment removal scheduling, access and permissions management, interconnection disconnect requests and Remote Hands services. Use the current platform and your facility contact to confirm the request details for your deployment.
-
Site and deployment
Record the CoreSite facility, account and cage or cabinet identifiers from your current account records. Use the same identifiers in the approved retirement inventory, facility request and ITAMG work scope.
-
Equipment and destination
Provide the approved retirement inventory, available serial numbers and the destination or disposition route for each equipment group.
-
Work and collection contacts
Name the customer who can authorize release, the removal contact and the party responsible for collection. Confirm any escort requirement.
-
Approvals and work window
Coordinate equipment removal with any connection changes and the facility’s approved access. Obtain confirmation before committing the crew and transport.

Request a ConsultationData Destruction and Asset Reporting for CoreSite Customers
ITAMG links the agreed data destruction and disposition work to serialized asset records so your team can reconcile the retired hardware.
ITAMG’s sanitization work is aligned with NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2, and ITAMG holds R2v3 and NAID AAA certification. Its logistics capabilities include GPS-tracked, insured vehicles. Specify the media treatment, custody records and serialized destruction or recycling certificates your team needs, then reconcile those records with the collected inventory.
-
Choose the media treatment
Specify erasure or physical destruction according to the media type, security policy and reuse plan. Agree whether ITAMG will process media on site or at its facility.
-
Record the custody handoff
Identify the assets released to ITAMG and reconcile the collection inventory. Flag missing, additional or mismatched items for review rather than silently treating them as complete.
-
Reconcile the final outcomes
Request the agreed destruction and recycling certificates and asset-level results. Match those records to the retired inventory and retain any unresolved exceptions for follow-up.
CoreSite Decommissioning Costs and Completion Records
An ITAMG quote for CoreSite customer equipment depends on the removal scope, data treatment, collection arrangements and potential recovery value.
Identify which on-site tasks are included in ITAMG’s quote and which, if any, are being purchased from CoreSite. Provide the inventory, facility, target date and processing requirements. Ask how packing, transport, data treatment and any resale credit will be represented.
For the equipment project, retain the release list, collection record, custody information and final disposition report. For a broader colocation exit, separately confirm any operator service cancellation and space-return obligations. An equipment shipment and a closed facility request answer different completion questions.
CoreSite Data Centers and Facility Directory
The CoreSite 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 CoreSite 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 Atlanta decommissioning, Chicago decommissioning, Los Angeles decommissioning, and San Jose / Silicon Valley decommissioning. Confirm the actual municipality and facility before arranging the work; metro coverage can include nearby cities.
CoreSite Customer Decommissioning Questions
How do I arrange ITAMG access to a CoreSite facility?
Your authorized customer contact should confirm CoreSite’s applicable access and work requirements. ITAMG is an independent equipment retirement provider. Agree the permissions, work window and collection arrangements before scheduling the on-site work.
Can Remote Hands and ITAMG work on the same retirement?
A customer can scope operator assistance and ITAMG equipment disposition within the same retirement plan. Agree who performs each task, who authorizes the work and where custody transfers. Confirm the actual arrangements with each party before scheduling.
Does scheduling equipment removal disconnect my CoreSite services?
Equipment removal and interconnection or service changes require their own applicable requests. Your authorized customer contact should confirm which CoreSite actions are needed and align their completion with the retirement schedule.
Where can I review ITAMG’s broader decommissioning service?
The ITAMG data center decommissioning overview covers general scope, security, logistics and recovery decisions. Use this CoreSite page to plan how those services connect with the customer requests and facility assistance for your deployment.
