I am loosely aware of a time that a local bank performed a large data centre migration.
They built new infrastructure at the new site, then just decommed the old building.
Pretty standard stuff, but the old building was like, 1930s era or something. After the hardware was deracked, it was left in a loading dock, in a now abandoned building, behind an unlocked roller door for like 6 months before it was recovered for data destruction.
