Comprehensive Asset Recovery Services For Datacenters

Media Recovery has extensive experience with the inventory and audit of Datacenter assets, tape media buyback and disposal, tape library racking systems buyback and disposal, and hard drive buyback and disposal.


Inventory and Audit Assets

The reasons to undertake an inventory of your Datacenter assets can come from a variety of requirements, including:
  • An upcoming relocation or facility move
  • A pending merger or acquisition
  • The need to verify and track leased equipment
  • The need to verify software licensing compliance
  • Regulatory issues
Regardless of the reason, the undertaking of a Datacenter or IT asset audit takes a considerable amount of planning and requires skilled and experienced audit staff to ensure consistent and accurate information. While it may be tempting to use your own staff for the audit, there are countless challenges that arise during the process, including: clearly identifying all the products, scheduling audits for multiple locations, how to deal with transcription errors, how to locate rogue assets, and clearly accounting for newly acquired assets. Hiring a company with staff that is experienced will provide you with a reliable resource for meeting those challenges.

Media Recovery’s inventory best practices and methodology come from years of experience in a wide variety of complex business environments. Even when new issues arise, we have a proven set of strategies and solutions to overcome these challenges.

The real benefit of an accurate asset inventory is the access to good information for key decision making. Once this initial inventory and audit have been made, there are a variety of new techniques and technologies for maintaining this information and keeping the inventory up to date. Access to this information will make it easier for your organization to plan, budget, implement new processes, and purchase equipment.
