Planning & Inventory
Site survey, asset audit, and a sequenced shutdown plan.
Office & Data Center Decommissioning
Closing an office, consolidating locations, or exiting a data center? We de-install, inventory, sanitize, and remove everything — and leave the space clean.
// One crew, one plan
Every Rack, Cable, and Drive Accounted For
Decommissioning projects usually involve a mover, a recycler, a data destruction vendor, and an IT team that's busy with everything else. Things get missed — and sometimes those things have data on them.
SYNTRA handles the whole job with one crew and one plan: we power down and de-install systems in the right order, tag every asset, destroy data, and route each item to redeployment, resale, or recycling.
- Detailed asset inventory before anything moves
- Coordinated with your landlord, colo provider, and movers
- Data destroyed on site or under chain of custody
- Value recovery to offset project cost

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you migrate systems before shutting things down?
Yes. Our cloud & infrastructure team can move workloads to a new location or the cloud first, so decommissioning happens only after everything is confirmed running.
Do you work in colocation facilities?
Yes. We coordinate access, escort requirements, and loading-dock schedules with your colo provider.
How far ahead should we plan?
The earlier the better, especially if a lease end date is fixed. Reach out as soon as you know your timeline and we'll build the schedule backward from it.
