Data Centre Consolidation
Technimove’s Data Centre Consolidation Services for Enhanced Efficiency, Cost Savings, Security, and Agile Operations
At Technimove, we have extensive experience in assessing the data centre (DC) spaces our clients occupy and working to reduce their footprint. Through expert consultation, strategic planning, and seamless implementation, our teams can significantly minimize your physical footprint—often by more than 50%.
The benefits of our data centre consolidation services are numerous, some of which are:
- Easier data centre management through significant space savings.
- Reduced energy consumption and long term energy efficiency.
- Creation of more space and power to grow into, if needed.
- Meeting environmental, social and governance targets.
Hardware and Software Consolidation Services
Our services encompass both hardware and software consolidation processes. Technimove’s hardware-based consolidation focuses on using intelligent network switches, storage virtualisation, blade chassis and rack management.
While our software-based consolidation includes switching to a single infrastructure management (DCIM) console to manage several platforms, server virtualisation, cloud computing and automation. Our consolidation services can include moving data and applications from smaller data centres to larger ones, or even cloud migrations.
Technimove Consolidate Your Data Centres with Precision
At Technimove, we don’t just consult – we deliver. We’re experts in streamlining data centres cost effectively, reducing energy usage, and driving sustainability.
Our proven 4-step consolidation strategy ensures an efficient, optimised IT infrastructure, freeing up valuable space while aligning with your carbon-neutral goals. Whether you operate multiple physical data centres or colocation facilities, our expertise ensures a tailored and seamless solution for your needs.
Step 1: Initial Consultation – Understanding Your Needs.
We start with a detailed consultation to gain a deep understanding of your data centre environment, working practices, and plans.
During this stage, we:
- Define the scope of the consolidation project.
- Identify the target data centre.
- Establish a clear timeline for implementation.
This initial step ensures that every aspect of the consolidation aligns with your business objectives.
Step 2: Site survey – Identifying Optimisation Opportunities.
Our engineers conduct a comprehensive site survey to assess your data centre(s), recording:
- Server rack density and data centre space utilisation.
- Opportunities for cost and energy savings.
- A full cable connection audit.
- Front and rear rack plans for better organisation and efficiency.
Step 3: Strategic Recommendations: Maximising Efficiency & Space.
Following our site survey, we deliver detailed recommendations in a report format, typically achieving 20-60% space savings.
Our key areas of focus include:
- Optimised Cabling– Is structured cabling in place for efficiency? Are top-of-rack switches shared between multiple racks?
- Space Utilisation – We identify empty space in each server rack and determine which equipment can be powered down and removed.
- Energy reduction – We reduce power and cooling demands by decommissioning and removing unnecessary devices.
We discuss, review, and finalise our bespoke plan before advancing to the implementation stage.
Step 4: Implementation – Delivering a Streamlined Data Centre.
At Technimove we don’t solely advise—we execute. Our in-house Project Management and Engineering teams handle the entire implementation process:
- Decommissioning & disposal of redundant devices.
- Unplugging & de-racking retained equipment.
- Cabling removal & reinstallation (if required).
- Re-racking equipment in an optimised arrangement.
- Recommissioning & powering up to ensure full functionality.
By the end of the process, your data centre will be more efficient, better organised, and fully optimised for cost savings and sustainability.
Data centres are responsible for between 2-3% of global electricity use, making their environmental impact a growing concern. Companies aiming for carbon neutrality increasingly turn to our data centre consolidation services to achieve reduced energy consumption and support sustainability goals. By streamlining operations, you can replace outdated, power-hungry servers with energy-efficient infrastructure, cutting both costs and emissions.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global data centre electricity demand could more than double by 2028, reaching 857 terawatt-hours (TWh). As AI and cloud computing expand, efficient data management becomes essential. Technimove’s Data Centre Consolidation Service helps businesses reduce their carbon footprint, lower operational costs, and meet government sustainability targets.
Removing a single obsolete server can save £400 in energy costs and £1,200 in maintenance per year, demonstrating the tangible financial and environmental benefits of our data centre consolidation service. Now you can lead the way towards a carbon-neutral future while enhancing efficiency.
Consolidation Delivery
We simplify an organisation’s IT infrastructure and optimise its resources. Our data centre consolidation services deliver numerous benefits, including:
Reduced Operating Costs
Our services streamline IT operations, cutting energy consumption, maintenance, and support expenses while eliminating inefficiencies across multiple data centres. By leveraging our managed services, organisations can further reduce costs and improve operational efficiency.
Improved Efficiency
Consolidating multiple data centres optimises resources such as space, power supply, cooling, and hardware. Our team develops tailored plans to enhance efficiency and minimise your carbon footprint.
Enhanced Data Security.
Fewer data centres mean a smaller attack surface, reducing exposure to potential security threats. Our experts work closely with data centre operators to implement best-in-class security measures, safeguarding your critical applications and services.
Reduced Complexity
Technimove specialists simplify management tasks, reducing administrative overhead and ensuring seamless coordination with data centre operators to enhance efficiency across multiple data centres.
Increased Agility
By consolidating data centres, we accelerate the deployment of new applications and services, enabling your organisation to respond swiftly to evolving business needs. Our managed services provide continuous support, ensuring smooth operations.
Stronger Disaster Recovery
Move data and applications to the new data centre environment in phases, while minimising downtime and ensuring data integrity.
Continuously monitor and optimise the performance of the new data centre environment to ensure it meets business needs.
Overall, data centre consolidation can help organisations improve it’s IT infrastructure’s reliability, security, and efficiency while reducing costs.
