Return to Bare Walls and Concrete

The Lease Is Ending, The Gear’s Still Live, and Everyone is Pointing Fingers.

It's time to move out of your facility, but first you have to figure out how to get rid of your old data center. The building is now full of electrical infrastructure such as generators, raised flooring, wires, batteries, CRAC units, and even hazardous waste. The terms of the lease require that the tenant restores the space back to its original state or pay a "walk away" cost.

Fortunately, you’ve found Iron Flag. Our process is efficient, refined, and built to meet tight schedules. We provide a turnkey service — including full project management, contractor coordination, logistics, disposal, permitting, and compliance from start to finish.

Simply put, Iron Flag offers the most cost-effective, end-to-end solution for data center decommissioning.

Why Companies Choose us

What sets Iron Flag Apart

Revenue Instead of Expense. Iron Flag is able to pay you to decommission your data center, colocation (colo/collocation), enterprise, cloud infrastructure, server farm, or cloud provider, before we even break ground. 

Polished and Professional. We complete projects on time, stay minimally invasive, and communicate where we're at through the whole process.

Handled In-House. All of our equipment removal is done in-house, which translates to a faster timeline, a reliable staff, and the peace of mind that each and every person on site has years of experience in their trade.
