What you retire → what runs it.
Industry labels are a rough guide. The machine you need is decided by what is actually stacking up on your floor.
You process what other people retire.
Volume is the business model. Every hour a machine sits idle is margin, and every asset that leaves without a record is a liability you inherited.
ITAD Providers
Your margins live and die by units processed per shift. Apex lets you clear whole racks per cycle and hand every client a per-asset record built to satisfy NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 documentation — more throughput per tech, without adding floor space.
Electronics Recyclers
Certified recyclers live by documentation. Apex machines are built to support R2v3 and e-Stewards workflows, supporting the per-asset records your certification and downstream chain demand.
MSPs & Refurbishers
Turn retired fleets around faster. Wipe, grade, and re-provision in bulk so resale inventory moves while it still holds value — and every reconditioned unit ships with a clean bill of health.
AI & GPU Infrastructure
Accelerators are too valuable to resell on a guess. Burn them in above 95% utilization, verify NVLink and thermals, flash firmware from a verified local image — and put a certificate against every GPU serial.
The assets are yours. So is the liability.
Handing hardware to a third party does not hand over the obligation. These operations keep retirement in-house, keep custody, and keep the evidence.
Data Centers & Hyperscalers
Refresh cycles retire drives by the thousands. Sanitize on-site, air-gapped, at rack scale — so decommissioned media never leaves the building unverified and every drive leaves with its own record.
Enterprise IT
Internal decommissioning without shipping sensitive data to a third party. Bring retirement in-house, keep custody, and generate the proof your security and compliance teams sign off on.
Government & Defense
Sensitive-data environments need domestic hardware, offline operation, and airtight records. Apex is designed and built in the USA to run air-gapped with a per-device record on every asset.
You don't need a 960 to start.
Most operations begin with one machine against their single biggest pile. These four fit a standard room, a standard doorway and ordinary building power — and scale the same way the large lines do.
