WHY NOW?

Data centers are under more pressure than at any point since the cloud build-out.

AI and machine learning workloads are reshaping how much power, cooling, and floor space a facility needs — while older sites are being modernized or decommissioned to make room.

Growth of cloud computing

Storage, compute, and applications continue to move off-premise, and the data centers behind them have to keep pace.

AI/ML compute demand

The AI boom is driving customers to scale and modernize network, power, cooling, and structural systems at once.

Modernization & decommissioning

A parallel push to retire old infrastructure is underway, clearing the way for next-generation technology.

Impact across every industry

Technology, financial services, telecom, government, energy, utilities, and manufacturing are all feeling it.

Decommissioning & EOL Support
End-of-life execution under a tight window

The client needed to decommission multiple data center sites ahead of a major environment modernization, but internal bandwidth and budget constraints limited its ability to allocate resources or attract new talent. Brooksource engaged a team of four EOL consultants, including a Project Manager, to run point on execution.

  • Project coordination & EOL program execution
  • Un-racking, removal & disposal coordination
  • Performance & data accuracy audit
  • Process improvement & ad-hoc decommission requests
