What is IT lifecycle management?
IT lifecycle management is planning, deploying, maintaining, relocating, recovering and retiring IT equipment as one coordinated process. Infrastructure doesn't stop mattering when equipment leaves production: retired hardware still needs to be removed, its data protected and any remaining value recovered.
ITDW Group combines procurement, logistics, infrastructure expertise and on-site technical work, so each stage is handled by the same partner instead of a different vendor every time.
In shortITDW Group helps you get the most out of IT equipment while it's in service, and retire it securely when it's done.
Which page fits? IT lifecycle management is the umbrella service. For a full site shutdown, see Data Center Decommissioning. For secure wiping, destruction and disposition records, see Data Destruction and ITAD. For a planning checklist, read the Data Center Decommissioning Guide.
