Abstract: A secured storage container for transporting storage devices from a data center to a destruction center for degaussing or other destruction techniques. The secured storage container can include a scanner for reading a barcode on the storage devices for inventory tracking. The container can also include a lid that is opened via a security badge for removing the storage devices from the container. A GPS-based tracking module can be used to ensure the container's location is aligned with a route to the destruction center. Finally, the container can have a moveable floor that moves upward as storage devices are removed so that a technician can easily remove all of the storage devices in the container.

Abstract: A rack-handling system includes a rack-handling device having a rack-coupling portion and one or more handles. The rack-coupling portion can be coupled with a rack. The handles can be gripped by a user to move the rack from one location to another when the rack-coupling portion is coupled to the rack.
