4 Scalable Strategies for Sanitizing Data Center Assets & Active Data Storage

Learn four essential pillars for efficiently sanitizing data center assets across colocated, hybrid, and on-premises environments.

Enterprise data center management is complex. But, when it comes to wiping unneeded data or sanitizing data center assets, one thing should be simple: ensuring that data is gone for good.

Many organizations still rely on outdated and inefficient methods like shredding, drilling, or “just reformatting.” These may seem convenient, but they are often time-consuming and can leave gaps that put compliance, security, and reputations at risk.

What you’ll learn:

• How to align with the latest standards: Understand what makes certain legacy methods like shredding or reformatting questionable—and what modern, verifiable processes look like.
• Best practices across storage types: Build a consistent sanitization strategy that covers servers, arrays, loose drives, and logical storage.
• Efficiency through automation: See how replacing manual, end-of-life processes with automated sanitization workflows can cut time, reduce human error, and streamline compliance reporting.
