The Challenge
As the customer prepared to accelerate their migration to AWS, they were racing against a hard deadline to vacate a co- location data center. The challenge wasn’t just physical--it was financial and security- driven. The company still had on-premises hardware under OEM support contracts, creating a “double bubble” of cloud and legacy spend. To make matters more urgent, their infrastructure contained sensitive data that had to be handled with precision to meet internal and regulatory compliance standards.
The Solution
The company turned to ReluTech, a trusted AWS partner known for simplifying data center exits through secure IT asset disposition (ITAD) and hardware buyback services.
ReluTech’s certified team handled everything:
Uninstalled the customer’s infrastructure
Performed secure, R2v3-certified data erasure
Coordinated a compliant and sustainable asset disposition process
Provided over $200,000 in upfront capital for the customer’s used hardware
This influx of cash helped offset the cost of the company’s cloud migration, allowing the company to allocate more budget toward modernization initiatives and reduce unnecessary legacy spend.
The Result
Thanks to ReluTech’s fast, secure, and compliant ITAD process, the customer:
Exited their co-location data center on time
Avoided data exposure risks
Freed themselves from OEM support constraints
Accelerated their AWS migration with over $200,000 in new funding
