IT ALL STARTS WITH PLANNING
From the initial planning of required assets to ongoing management and support, decommissioning, and more, every step of an asset’s lifecycle must be successfully planned and managed.
For these reasons, companies must have a partner that can manage all aspects of a data center’s asset lifecycle, maintaining the visibility and reliability of all hardware—from inventory management to decommissioning, destruction, and beyond. This is the foundation of our comprehensive assessment strategy.
At ServIQ, we understand the constant need for effective and secure Asset Lifecycle Management. As a result, we continually evolve our services to meet the needs of the world’s largest data centers.
