The artificial intelligence boom is redefining what it means to scale in today’s digital world. As AI workloads intensify, data centers are rapidly expanding their compute capacity—deploying high-performance GPUs, upgrading server clusters, and redesigning infrastructure for real-time data processing. But this rush toward innovation has a lesser-known byproduct: a mounting wave of retired IT hardware. For every rack of new AI-optimized equipment installed, there’s an older generation of servers, switches, and storage systems ready to be decommissioned. And without a responsible IT asset disposition (ITAD) strategy in place, that hardware becomes both an environmental liability and a security risk. At METech Recycling, we’re helping data centers stay ahead—by managing the aftermath of AI adoption with secure, sustainable, and certified ITAD solutions. AI Is Changing the Game—and Shortening Hardware Lifecycles AI infrastructure demands power, speed, and scalability. To keep up, data centers are turning over equipment faster than ever before. Traditional three- to five-year refresh cycles are being compressed as companies race [...]
