The Executive’s Guide to Data Center Move Planning
November 3rd, 2008
Most Data Center moves begin with the C-Level suite typically with a seemingly simple question: “How much is it going to cost us to move our data center?”
In the scramble to answer that question, a less-than-scientific process begins that often jeopardizes most data center moves before they begin.
- Data Center Move Planning is more important than getting a quick cost estimate. Before you send your staff off to search the Internet for the elusive data center move project plan, step back and do some planning yourself.
- Keeping the move confidential preserves many options including the ability to assemble advance teams to check out data center locations without jeopardizing your negotiating leverage.
- Expecting your Information Technology (IT) staff to know how to move a Data Center properly is unrealistic as most have never completed the task. Get educated with our Data Center Move Guide available in the box to your left.
- Understand that your Data Center Relocation is unique and requires more than a generic data center move checklist you found on the web. Allow us to earn your business and make you the Superhero of your move.
- Be realistic about time-frames. Data Center Moves of size and complexity take 12 months or more to plan and execute properly. We can help you with a realistic time-line with the right services at the right time.
