Decommissioning is a process that involves the withdrawal of hardware and software from your location.
Your SDDC is withdrawn in the following scenario:
- Your 1-year or 3-year subscription term ends, and you do not intend to renew the subscription term.
The decommission services are:
- The VMware SRE performs a remote soft reset of the infrastructure.
- A notification is sent to the Dell engineer that the hardware is ready for pickup.
- The Dell engineer collects the hardware from your location and securely performs a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 800-88 data sanitization offsite.
