Storage estates

Storage & SAN Array Decommissioning Services

Storage carries the highest data risk in the room and often the highest residual value. USACA Group decommissions enterprise storage — SAN, NAS, disk shelves, tape libraries and flash arrays — with drive-level accountability and value recovery on controllers, shelves and interconnect.

Who this service is for

Storage and infrastructure teams, backup and archive owners, regulated enterprises retiring arrays, and operators consolidating onto new platforms.

Drive-level accountability across storage estates, with destruction evidence per serial and remarketing of the surrounding hardware.

What you receive

  • Drive-level inventory

    Every disk, SSD and tape captured by serial, slot and enclosure as it is removed from the array.

  • Serialized destruction

    Media shredded with method, operator and timestamp logged per unit.

  • Controller and shelf recovery

    Controllers, shelves, HBAs, SFPs and interconnect triaged for remarketing rather than scrapped by default.

  • Tape library handling

    Libraries, drives and cartridge inventories handled with tape destruction evidence where required.

  • Reconciled reporting

    Slot-level manifest reconciled against destruction logs so no drive is unaccounted for.

Selling storage arrays

Yes — USACA buys storage arrays and components where there is market demand.

Any valuation or offer depends on model, configuration, quantity, condition, location and current market demand. USACA does not purchase every asset; where equipment has no resale value we will say so and quote recycling instead.

Drives are removed and destroyed at USACA facilities with a certificate of destruction unless you have agreed another option in writing, so selling an array does not expose its data.

How it works

A documented process, start to certificate.

  1. Step 01

    Confirm the estate

    Arrays, enclosures, drive counts and data classification confirmed before scheduling.

  2. Step 02

    Controlled shutdown

    Power-down support, cable labelling and safe de-installation of shelves and controllers.

  3. Step 03

    Extract and scan

    Drives pulled and scanned by slot and serial into the tracking record at the rack.

  4. Step 04

    Destroy media

    Secure-warehouse destruction to the agreed standard with live logging.

  5. Step 05

    Recover hardware

    Chassis, controllers and optics tested and routed to buyer channels.

  6. Step 06

    Report and certify

    Destruction certificates, drive-level logs and settlement issued together.
