Hyperscale Data Center Services

Cloud providers trust SLS to systematically decommission rack servers, blade servers, SANs and data center infrastructure. SLS resourcefully resells surplus equipment and components and responsibly recycles equipment with no remaining useful life. Bulk shredding of hard drives provides a quick, cost effective and secure method to ensure data security.

Edge Data Center Services

At the same time that hyperscale data centers are being constructed to process and store big data, there is a need to keep some data processing capability adjacent to population centers for faster response times. Edge data centers, or MMDCs, provide this proximity. SLS provides turn-key decommissioning of these satellite data centers when they have outlived their useful life.
