Technimove’s Data Centre Migration steps:

Initial meeting and scoping. Our technical project management team will lead this process to understand the client’s requirement and to define a program for the migration

Audit. Technimove will send a team of engineers in to the current data centre to record the device details, position within the rack, ports populated and trace the cables, if required

Cable. For the vast majority of our data centre move projects, we install new structured cabling and pre-cable the patch leads to ensure the environment is ready for the equipment to arrive ahead of the Data Centre Migration phase

Physical Migration. Technimove will unplug all server, storage and networking devices within scope of the Data Center Migration. All equipment is de-racked by the Technimove team and professionally packed, before being safely relocated to the new data centre. On arrival, our team will carefully transport the equipment to the new racks, unpack and rack the equipment. We will then recommission the equipment and hand it over to the client.

Post-migration support. We often provide Network and Storage Specialists to assist with bringing the environment back up online. We are also on standby to assist with addressing any cabling and connectivity issues that may arise.
