Built for data center teams

Free Up Space Fast, Without Risking Security or Uptime

During a refresh or migration, your engineers are focused on the new build, not on hauling out the old one. Meanwhile retired racks occupy expensive floor space and still hold sensitive data.

Techniya works alongside your data center manager, network engineers and facilities team to plan the decommission, remove equipment in scheduled windows and document every asset from rack to final disposition.

  • Standard, colocation, edge and hyperscale facilities
  • After-hours and weekend work windows
  • Cabling, UPS, HVAC and rack infrastructure removal
  • End-of-lease equipment returned to lessors
