1. A computing cluster-wide shredding system comprising:
a shredding device to shred a plurality of computing components of a computing cluster; and
a controller comprising at least one processor and at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the at least one processor, cause the controller to:
receive a trigger signal from a sensor in a restricted area external to the computing cluster;
determine if the computing cluster should be shredded, based at least in part on the trigger signal; and
 in response to determining the computing cluster should be shredded, control the shredding device to shred the computing cluster.
