  • Do you need more control of your decommissioned IT assets?
  • Are you concerned about the security risks of recycled IT equipment?
  • Do you need to be compliant with HIPAA, SOX, RoHS or other EPA regulations?

IT asset decommissioning is a huge problem that plagues IT operations managers. The problem is aggravated by security, data security, recycling restrictions and the seeming endless environmental regulations.

SMS remedies these asset life-cycle issues with our ITAD (IT Asset Disposition) program.  We address:

  • Who is responsible for decommissioned assets?
  • When was the device decommissioned?
  • Was it sanitized?
  • Was it erased in accordance to industry standards?
  • Was it destroyed?
  • Where is the certificate of destruction?
  • Was it re-deployed?
  • Who was it re-deployed to within your company?
  • Was it sanitized before it was re-deployed?
  • Was it sold?
  • Was it disassembled and used for parts?
  • Was it recycled?

In part to address these issues, SMS developed singlePoint™ to manage your data center assets by using a secure web based portal.  SinglePoint tracks your assets from acquisition to decommission, saving all the necessary paperwork along the way.

SMS ITAD observes Chain of Custody procedures

Decommission Has the asset reached the end of its useful life?
Can the device be re-commissioned within your company?
Data Erasure
 
All devices can be sanitized to DoD 3 pass, and 7 pass military specifications, or higher.
  • DoD 5220.22-M(E) is the process of overwriting a disk with a 3 pass process.
  • DoD 5220.22-M(ECE) is the process of overwriting a disk with a 7 pass process that includes DoD 5220.22-M(C) with pseudo random values for step 4.

Certificates of erasure are posted to singlePoint™ for your records.

Data Destruction SMS will physically destroy your hard drives, tape drives and physical storage media.  We can:
  • Shredded at your facility.
  • Securely shredded at our facility.
  • Recycled to composite metals.

Certificates of destruction are posted to singlePoint™ for your records.

Asset Redeployment All devices are restored to the manufacturer's original specifications by SMS engineers.  Your equipment can be caged and stored by SMS until you are ready to re-deploy these assets within your own company.

Chain of custody records are posted to singlePoint for your records.

Asset Purchase SMS believes that keeping some equipment in service is better for the environment than acquiring new equipment.  SMS will sanitize your equipment and then purchase it from you using service credits or cash,  and repurpose the asset.

Chain of custody records are posted to singlePoint for your records.
Asset Recycle SMS does everything possible to maximize our ability to recycle IT assets and will continue to be at the forefront of creative possibilities and avoid the need for IT technology disposal.   If an asset has to be recycled, SMS processes all pieces in accordance with all Federal, State and local regulations.  As needed:
  • Certificates of destruction are posted to singlePoint for your records.
  • Chain of custody records are posted to singlePoint for your records.
