Data Center Lifecycle Management for Government
FedRAMP Aligned processes, US-based operations, and NIST 800-88 data destruction. From agency infrastructure maintenance to certified disposition of classified hardware.
What Regulations Apply
Federal agencies and government contractors operate under FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program), FISMA (Federal Information Security Modernization Act), and NIST 800-171 for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). These frameworks require documented security controls, supply chain integrity, and certified data destruction that meet standards significantly more rigorous than commercial requirements. State and local agencies often adopt similar frameworks.
What Is at Stake
Government data carries national security implications. Improper handling of classified or controlled information on decommissioned hardware is not just a compliance violation — it is a potential security incident with consequences extending beyond fines to criminal liability. Supply chain integrity for replacement parts and maintenance personnel must be verifiable. Government IT leaders need lifecycle partners with documented, auditable processes that can withstand IG (Inspector General) review and agency audit scrutiny.
Services for Government
IT Asset Disposition
Classified and controlled data on decommissioned government hardware requires destruction methods that meet federal standards. Our ITAD process provides NIST 800-88 data destruction with certificates for every asset, full chain of custody documentation, and audit-ready reports designed for federal audit requirements. On-site physical destruction (degaussing and shredding) available for classified environments where hardware cannot leave the facility. Cleared personnel available.
Learn moreThird-Party Maintenance
Agency infrastructure — servers, storage, networking — requires maintenance coverage that meets federal security standards. Our TPM contracts provide 4-hour on-site response and 99.99% uptime SLA at 30-40% less than OEM renewals. FedRAMP Aligned processes ensure maintenance operations meet the security controls federal agencies require. US-based operations and support staff.

“Our agency needed to decommission a legacy data center with equipment that had handled CUI for the past decade. The OEM quoted us on a full hardware refresh at three times our annual IT budget. DataCenterLifecycle provided certified NIST 800-88 data destruction for the decommissioned hardware, extended maintenance on the systems we kept running, and their documentation passed our IG audit without a single finding. The cost savings funded two quarters of our modernization roadmap.”
