Decommissioning a Microsoft server and securely destroying its hard drives is a critical process to ensure your data remains protected. Here’s how we handle it safely and professionally:

  1. Data Backup: Before decommissioning, we ensure all essential data is securely backed up and migrated to a new system or storage location, such as Microsoft 365, SharePoint, or a virtual server.

  2. System Decommissioning: We safely shut down the server and disconnect it from your network to prevent unauthorized access during the process.

  3. Data Wipe: Using industry-standard tools, we perform a secure, multi-pass data wipe on the hard drives, erasing all stored information to ensure it cannot be recovered.

  4. Physical Destruction: For additional security, we physically destroy the hard drives. This process may involve shredding, degaussing, or crushing the drives, rendering them completely unusable.

  5. Environmentally Responsible Disposal: All decommissioned hardware is disposed of following WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) compliance, ensuring both security and environmental responsibility.

  6. Documentation: We provide you with a certificate of destruction and a full audit trail to confirm the secure and compliant disposal of your server and hard drives.

This meticulous process ensures your sensitive business data is completely eliminated, giving you peace of mind and compliance with data protection regulations.

FAQs about Microsoft 365 for Business

Formally known as Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft 365 is a cloud-based, online, subscription-based package offering a range of software and services, including the Office suite, e-mail and security to support individual and team productivity.  

Microsoft 365 is a subscription package that ensures you keep updated with the latest version of software. Microsoft Office is a one-time purchase that isn’t updated automatically.

Cloud-based and accessible from a range of devices, SharePoint allows businesses to create, organise and store information and manage data through workflows and databases. It also allows you to create websites and intranets for sharing information.

SharePoint is so much more that a repository for information. It is very customisable, so organisations can create systems that support the way they work, including workflows to support internal processes and efficiency. Branding can also be added to boost staff engagement.

Designed to drive productivity through collaboration and efficiency, you will have the most up-to-date version of the software, and being Cloud based provides greater flexibility for teams that may not always work from one or the same location.

The range of packages offered means there’s one to suit your size of organisation and budget. We talk to you about your needs now and for the future to help you choose the right package for you.

For both SharePoint and Microsoft 365, the cost depends on the package you choose. Each package offers something different, at varying scales, so you can avoid paying for features or services you don’t need.

We’ve been an IT provider for more than 20 years. That’s testament to the hard work and skills of our brilliant team. We’d be happy to connect you with a client of ours to ask.

You can install the office apps on to your device so that they are available offline. You can also access documents and e-mails offline which will then sync for changes when you are back online.

If you have used Microsoft Office before, a lot of the software offered by these platforms will already be familiar, but we make sure you get fully up and running and able to make the most of Microsoft 365 and SharePoint.

You can use Microsoft 365 and SharePoint across a range of devices, including Macs and PCs, tablets and mobile phones. This gives you complete flexibility and easy access to continue whatever you’re working on, wherever you are.

They are very secure. Supported by Microsoft’s own security measures, you can be confident that you have the most up-to-date software protection in place, with the additional advantage that your data is stored on the Cloud and not at risk from a localised site incident.

However it is always recommended that you have stand alone cloud backup
