Where Data Centers Meet the Future: 7×24 Exchange 2025

The 7x24 Exchange Conference always brings together the leaders shaping the future of mission-critical infrastructure—and this year was no exception. From advancements in AI-driven operations to new sustainability targets across hyperscale and enterprise environments, the event underscored how rapidly the data-center ecosystem is evolving to meet global demand. METech Recycling was proud to attend and engage with the conversations that will influence how operators build, upgrade, and responsibly retire hardware in the years ahead. As data centers continue to scale, modernize, and push toward more efficient operations, the importance of safe, compliant, end-of-life management has never been more central. Key Themes from the Event 1. AI-Powered Infrastructure Is Reshaping Hardware Lifecycles Sessions repeatedly highlighted how AI is accelerating demand for high-power compute—and shortening upgrade cycles. With rapid deployment of GPU-dense racks and liquid-cooling systems, data centers are refreshing hardware more frequently than ever before. This is exactly where METech provides value: Secure decommissioning for servers, switches, racks, storage, and network equipment  [...]

Data Center Decommissioning Guide

The United States leads the world in number of data centers, with 5,381 data centers as of March 2024 according to Statista. To give you an idea of how large the delta is between the U.S. and the rest of the world, Germany follows in second with only 521 data centers. Therefore the responsibility largely falls on us to ensure that data center decommissioning and operating standards are sustainable. With the industry expected to grow 10% a year through 2030, it’s imperative to continuously innovate how we manage energy consumption, data security, and e-waste. Environmental Impact of Data There are a few main factors to consider when calculating the footprint of data centers. The first is the large amount of energy consumed to power servers, storage systems and networking equipment. Collectively, these data center buildings account for about 2% of electricity used in the United States. All of this power leads to the issue of heat generated by servers, often managed [...]

Sustainable Facilities Management – IT and Data Center

Sustainability is a key consideration for facilities managers when integrating new technology into their organization. Decommissioning retired assets can be tricky without the right resale and recycling partner to help navigate legal compliance and data security. METech offers end-to-end transportation, data destruction, resale, recycling, and reporting services to help meet your sustainability goals and add value to your facilities management process.  Data Center Decommissioning  In-house data centers and colocation data centers process immense amounts of information, creating a need for more sustainable upgrades that use less energy. Resale of data center equipment like servers, routers, switches, and storage systems can help recoup costs and give a second life to hardware that is still fully functional. Certified resale partners like METech are required for securely wiping data, documenting crucial inventory and records, and complying with industry regulations. Why IT Resale? Most of the electronics equipment being decommissioned from your facility will still have a lot of life left to it. Reselling your [...]
