Careful planning plays a major role in the data centre removal and relocation. Proper planning minimises the risk of software and hardware failures during transit and failures due to re-cabling. Paying attention to details such as time zones, arranging for escort badges in advance can smoother the execution. Taking extra time to reconfirm the schedule with the delivery team will contribute to a successful move.

No matter the reason for the server room and data centre relocation, the burden of executing the relocation falls on the IT managers and their departments. And anyone who knows anything about IT knows that the daily demands of running a data centre feel like they are increasing as rapidly as the videos being uploaded to YouTube!

In addition, there are the ever-changing government compliance and industry regulations to keep up with. The field of Information Technology has never been a 9 to 5 job, but when you start talking about data centre removal and migration it becomes a 50, 60, or even 70 hours a week job.

According to analysts, 88% of enterprises are currently in the early phases of either consolidating servers or executing a major data centre relocation. Consolidations and relocations can impact service levels in many ways and one of the primary reasons why data centre removal is delayed for so long is often based on business owners’ concerns that their critical applications and services will be adversely affected by such moves. It is therefore important and necessary to address each key participant’s concerns and work with them to design and implement a plan with the least impact on customers.
