Excess Server Rack Storage in Richmond, VA

Have server racks you are not using right now? Spare, surplus or decommissioned racks do not need to take up space in your data hall, cage or loading dock. Data Center Relocation Experts receives, inventories and stores excess server racks in our secure warehouse in the Richmond, VA area, and releases them when you are ready.

When You Need Server Rack Storage

  • Construction or power delays at the new site
  • Phased or staged deployments
  • Moving out before the new space is ready
  • Colocation contract gaps between facilities
  • Equipment awaiting decommissioning, resale or buy back
  • Overflow during a data center consolidation

How Our Rack Storage Works

  • Receive

    Inbound racks are checked in, photographed and condition-noted, with serial numbers and asset tags logged.

  • Store

    Racks are kept upright, wrapped and protected in a secure, enclosed warehouse with controlled access.

  • Track

    You can request an inventory list at any time, so you know exactly what is on hand.

  • Release

    Full or partial releases follow your schedule, so you can pull racks back as you need them.

  • Ship back

    Need them delivered when you release them? See our server rack transportation service.

Storage + Transport From One Team

One company handles pickup, storage and final delivery, which means fewer handoffs, one point of contact and a single chain of custody from the old site to the new one. Storage pairs naturally with server rack transportation, a server relocation or a colocation migration.

Short-Term or Long-Term Rack Storage

Store racks for a few days, weeks or months. Rates depend on rack count, size and how long you need storage, so send your details for a quote.

What to Send for a Storage Quote

  • Whether the racks are loaded or empty
  • Pickup ZIP and final delivery ZIP
  • Expected storage length
  • Photos of the racks
