Recover the maximum value from retired enterprise IT equipment through our proprietary certification and quality assurance process.
Phoenix Certified is DES Technologies’ proprietary certification process designed to identify reusable enterprise IT assets after successful data sanitization. Every certified asset undergoes rigorous inspection, testing, quality control, grading, and documentation before being approved for resale.
Instead of recycling valuable equipment, Phoenix Certified allows organizations to recover additional value while reducing electronic waste.
Every qualified asset is:
Enterprise Assets Certified
Enterprise Tape Drives
Years of Data Erasure Experience
of GB Securely Sanitized
Each asset moves through the Phoenix Process — visual inspection, hardware diagnostics, firmware validation, and performance testing — before being graded, certified, and prepared for resale.
Phoenix Certified™ covers a wide range of storage media, including hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), magnetic tape cartridges (LTO, DLT, and others), and other enterprise storage devices. Sanitization methods are selected based on media type and the organization’s data sensitivity requirements.
Yes. Any asset that doesn’t pass inspection or performance testing is routed to responsible recycling rather than resale, so nothing certifiable ends up in a landfill.
Grading combines cosmetic condition, component verification, and stress/performance benchmarking to assign each asset a quality tier before certification.
Yes — every unit goes through the full multi-point inspection, including diagnostics, stress testing, and final QA review, before it can earn Phoenix Certified™ status.
Every Phoenix Certified™ project includes a complete audit package: a serialized asset inventory, destruction certificates for each device, recycling documentation, and a final disposition report. This documentation is formatted for compliance teams, internal audits, and regulatory review.
