AUDIT-READY R2V3 & RIOS COMPLIANCE
ITAD for Cloud Providers and Hyperscalers
Cloud and AI infrastructure refreshes faster than ever, and most of the servers, storage, and GPUs coming off the floor still hold real capital. ROC Telecom recovers it with R2v3 and RIOS certified precision, sanitizes your data to NIST 800-88, and keeps the rest out of the landfill, all under a single accountable chain of custody.
ROC Telecom is a Texas-based ITAD authority built for cloud providers, hyperscalers, and the AI infrastructure operators driving the next compute cycle. We specialize in retiring server, storage, and GPU fleets at scale, as a secure alternative to the generic recyclers most operators settle for.
Cloud platforms retire on a compressed clock: AI and GPU refresh cycles, server fleet rotations, storage end-of-life, and full region or facility consolidations. Every one of those events strands racks of compute that still hold real capital on the secondary market. Generic recyclers shred that value into scrap. We recover it and return it as capital you can reinvest.
We treat infrastructure retirement as a critical security operation, not a logistics task. Our process is airtight and audit-ready, protecting tenant data while recovering the value most ITAD vendors leave on the table. From a single decommissioned rack to a full region teardown, we’re the shield for your next audit.

Why work with us?
Headquartered in San Antonio, ROC Telecom is one of a vanishingly small number of ITAD partners that handles decommissioning, asset recovery, and recycling entirely in-house, under a single accountable chain of custody. Most providers broker your equipment downstream through layer after layer of recyclers. We don't. That vertical integration lets us recover more value on your compute and GPU gear, and significantly offset the cost of your decom, sometimes delivering it at no charge.
- Specialist valuation on servers, storage, GPU, and AI fabric (Dell, HPE, Supermicro, NVIDIA, and more)
- Decom that pays for itself, with cost offsets that can reach $0
- 48-hour rapid-response decommissioning mobilization, nationwide
- 3× the carbon savings of a standard ITAD through in-house dismantling
- Multi-tenant data sanitization to NIST 800-88 with serialized CoDs
- R2v3, RIOS, NIST 800-88, and ITAR certified workflows
- Single accountable U.S. chain of custody, from cage to certificate

Our workflow
Intro: Move from retired cloud infrastructure to recovered capital through a process engineered for live, multi-tenant environments. We handle physical execution, logistics, and certified data sanitization while your team keeps full audit visibility.
Inventory & site valuation
Submit your asset manifest for a rapid appraisal. Our team evaluates your retired infrastructure and hardware components to maximize capital recovery while identifying all local data security requirements.
Tailored project roadmap
We engineer a precise site execution plan covering hardware de-racking, logistics timelines, and data sanitization methods, ensuring every phase meets your strict corporate compliance and audit standards.
Secure asset mobilization
Certified in-house teams manage all on-site technical de-racking, packaging, and logistics. Every asset is tracked under an unbroken chain of custody directly to our secure, R2v3-certified Texas processing hub.
Compliance & settlement
Receive serialized Certificates of Destruction and mass-balance data for Scope 3 ESG reporting. Financial returns from asset buybacks are settled rapidly to directly offset your next-cycle procurement costs.
Common questions
Yes. ROC Telecom specializes in retiring cloud and hyperscale infrastructure: servers, storage, GPU and AI fabric, and switching, at scale. We recover capital through direct hyperscaler and enterprise resale, and certified-recycle everything without a resale market under zero landfill.
We focus on gear with a strong secondary market: rack servers, storage arrays, GPUs and AI accelerators, top-of-rack switching, and the components inside them, from Dell, HPE, Supermicro, NVIDIA, Cisco, Arista, and more. We test, wipe, and remarket through a direct buyer network.
Every data-bearing device is sanitized to NIST 800-88 by physical shredding or certified erasure before it leaves your control, under an unbroken serialized chain of custody. For high-sensitivity workloads, we shred on site. You receive Certificates of Destruction for every asset for your tenant and compliance reporting.
All data-bearing media processed at our R2v3-certified facility undergoes physical shredding or certified electronic erasure in full alignment with NIST 800-88. Every project concludes with a serialized chain-of-custody log and official Certificates of Destruction for your permanent security review.
Yes. While we’re Texas-based, we deploy certified teams nationwide to handle de-racking and secure transport at any scale, from a single decommissioned rack to a full region or facility teardown, with cost offsets on the right volume.
As an R2v3 and RIOS certified provider, we manage material recovery in-house rather than brokering it downstream. We supply verified mass-balance data and on-request refiner assay reports that feed directly into Scope 3 Category 5 and Category 12 disclosures and your net-zero commitments.
