When a room, a row or a whole data centre comes out of service, Maxicom manages the decommissioning end to end across Singapore and Malaysia — powering down, de-racking, labelling, destroying data to NIST 800-88, and removing everything on a documented chain of custody. Then we pay you for the recoverable value of the servers, storage, networking and GPUs in SGD. One accountable partner for the whole exit.
Decommissioning is where data security, logistics and asset value all collide. We handle the sequence — inventory and manifest, power-down, cabling and de-rack, on-site or off-site data destruction, secure transport, and final disposition — so your team gets a clean, documented exit and a single point of accountability. The servers, storage, networking and GPUs that come out carry real value, which we return to you as payment rather than charging you to remove.
| DIY / internal | Generic remover | Maxicom | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash outcome | Cost + effort | You pay to remove | Value returned in SGD |
| Data destruction | Your risk | Not their job | NIST 800-88 + certificate |
| Chain of custody | Hard to maintain | None | Documented, itemised |
| De-rack & logistics | Your team | Basic | Managed to change-control |
| Region coverage | — | Local only | Singapore + Johor/Iskandar |
Singapore's data-centre density and power constraints, together with the fast-growing Johor and Iskandar hyperscale corridor, make decommissioning a regular event across the region — refreshes, migrations, consolidations and exits. As capacity has shifted across the causeway, migrations and early refreshes are generating decommissioning work on both sides. We work across both, coordinating collection and destruction to your access windows, change-control and security requirements.
A decommissioning generates a large, concentrated volume of hardware — exactly where reuse-first makes the biggest ESG difference. By recovering and redeploying the servers, storage and networking that still have life, and sending only genuinely dead material to licensed recyclers, we help your sustainability report show diverted e-waste and retained embodied carbon, with itemised documentation to back the numbers.
Every data-bearing drive is sanitised to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 (HDD) and IEEE 2883-2022 (SSD/NVMe), with a certificate of destruction, on a documented chain of custody. Drives that can't be wiped are physically destroyed through a vetted partner. Certified destruction is what makes buyback safe under Singapore's PDPA and Malaysia's PDPA — so it's included in the deal, not billed as an extra.
Tell us the scope — racks, brands, timeline — and we'll come back with a managed plan and a buyback value in SGD.

We recover the value inside retired business IT, destroy data to NIST 800-88 and IEEE 2883, and route reusable hardware back into service — paying businesses for equipment that other recyclers charge to take.
