The approved media treatment determines what may leave the deployment and what must happen before collection.
ITAMG can scope erasure or physical destruction on-site or at an ITAMG facility. Identify the media types and quantities, treatment location and evidence your team needs. Equipment moving for continued internal use may require different instructions from assets being assessed for resale or recycled.
Keep the asset list attached to the physical batch through the handoff. An operator ticket reference can help identify the completed support task, but it should not substitute for required custody, data-treatment or disposition records. Record additions, missing items and unreadable identifiers for customer approval.
ITAMG holds R2v3 and NAID AAA certification and provides serialized destruction or recycling records for the agreed work. Its trained, insured and background-checked technicians and secure logistics capabilities support the handoff from the released equipment to final disposition.

Flexential Customer Decommissioning Costs and Collection Readiness
ITAMG prices the remaining equipment preparation, collection, data treatment and disposition work around the tasks your team or Flexential support has already agreed to perform.
Flexential’s published data sheet distinguishes routine requests from larger tasks that need scheduling. Confirm current lead times and staffing with the actual facility; the document is not an ITAMG completion guarantee. Before booking transport, establish when de-racking, packing and release will be complete.
For ITAMG’s quote, provide the equipment inventory, work already ordered, packing responsibility, data requirements and destination plan. Identify any reporting requirements beyond a collection receipt. The national decommissioning resource explains the broader cost and service considerations.
| Completion stage | Evidence to agree |
|---|---|
| Onsite support | Confirmation of the specific Flexential task ordered and completed. |
| Collection | Released inventory, custody transfer and recorded exceptions. |
| Data and equipment disposition | Treatment evidence and agreed reuse, resale or recycling records. |
| Customer account | Any separate service or space-return confirmation arranged by the account holder. |
Flexential Data Centers and Facility Directory
The Flexential 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 Flexential 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 Nashville decommissioning, Atlanta decommissioning, and Dallas / Fort Worth decommissioning. Confirm the actual municipality and facility before arranging the work; metro coverage can include nearby cities.
Flexential Data Center Decommissioning Questions
Does moving equipment to the loading dock include packing it?
Do not assume so. Confirm the exact support task and name who supplies materials, packs the equipment and verifies it before release. These responsibilities should be explicit in the project scope.
When does ITAMG accept custody?
Define the custody transfer point in the agreed collection scope. Identify who releases the equipment, who accepts it and which asset or shipment record documents the transfer.
Can one project combine Flexential Remote Hands and ITAMG services?
Discuss the tasks each party will perform, the facility arrangements and the handoff conditions. ITAMG is independently scoped; the customer remains responsible for arranging authorized operator requests.
Does a completed Remote Hands ticket prove the equipment was recycled?
A support ticket confirms the work covered by that request. Obtain the separate asset-disposition and media-treatment records required for the retirement and reconcile them with the collected inventory.
