Secure IT Refresh Needn’t Cost the Earth – DCM

Mick Payne, Operations and Purchasing Director at Techbuyer shares a secure, flexible collection process and top-quality security processing in the Autumn 2018 edition of Data Centre Management (DCM) Magazine. DCM is a quarterly print title for IT and corporate managers who are responsible for data centre strategy and management and has a monthly audience of over 250,000 IT professionals.

Article Summary

  • The Problem at Hand: A survey by ITAM stated security was the top concern when refreshing storage devices. Environmental responsibility was also important but combining the two was problematic for many. A large number of respondents destroyed perfectly useable drives, after having erased the data. This contributes to additional manufacturing costs and material wastage as precious metals and critical raw materials are unrecovered.
  • A Better Solution: Data erasure is the safest method and hence used by organisations like the USA Department of Defence. At Techbuyer we offer a range of solutions on this: collection of pre-wiped storage, data erasure at the client location and at our own secure CCTV monitored facility.
  • Secure Every Step of the Way: Techbuyer’s highly safe and secure method of data destruction gives data centre managers the assurance to dedicate the entirety of IT infrastructure refresh to reuse rather than destruction. Supporting environmental issues is not the only benefit of selling to us. The cash return we offer helps with the bottom line too.
