Data Center Decommissioning
In 1982 MichCon, Michigans Consolidated Gas
Company, built a state of the art 72,866 square
foot data center at 5225 Auto Club Drive. The
data center was upgraded again in 1994, after
being purchased by Affiliated Computer Services,
and shuttered in 1997 resulting in a layoff of
120 workers.  The legacy data center was recently
sold to Holding Source LLC, with the aim to
redevelop the property.

Holding Source LLC has built and developed a huge
amount of property in Dearborn and is definitely
one of the premier pillars of the community.
 Quantums mission was to create several hundred
thousand dollars of cash for Holding Source by
decommissioning and reselling the assets from the
data center decommission.

Quantum has recently opened a division to
specialize in difficult to acquire Switchgear,
Electrical panels and Pad Mount Transformers.
 Due to supply chain constraints since Covid,
lead times are unbelievably long and prices are
through the ceiling. Quantum stepped in to fill
the gap.

With 2 warehousing facilities, one in
Shippensburg and one in Philadelphia PA, Quantum
is able to inventory a tremendous amount of
equipment and offer it to companies across the
