How Oneworld Logix Delivers Flawless Data Center Relocations
Relocating a data center is a major undertaking, as it involves transferring the core of your organization’s IT infrastructure servers, switches, storage devices, and morethat drive your daily operations. At Oneworld Logix, we take the complexity out of the process, ensuring that the entire move is smooth, secure, and stress-free.
We recognize the importance of your IT assets. We don’t simply move equipment; we transport the essential components that keep your business running, ensuring everything is in top condition and ready for action as soon as it reaches its new data center.
What Goes into a Successful Data Center Migration?
A data center migration involves much more than physically moving equipment. It’s about careful planning, precise execution, and thorough testing to ensure everything works as it should at the new site. Here’s how we at Oneworld Logix handle the process:
1. Comprehensive Planning and Assessment
We begin by understanding your IT environment. This includes:
- Mapping out your IT ecosystem to identify all assets and dependencies.
- Assessing your current and future needs to design a migration plan.
- Setting a clear timeline and budget to ensure a smooth process.
Our team works closely with you to document every detail, from network layouts to equipment configurations, leaving no room for errors.
2. Preparing for the Move
Preparation is key to a successful migration. Before any equipment is moved, we:
- Pre-install Structured Cabling: We set up the necessary infrastructure at the new location, ensuring it’s ready to support your equipment.
- Label and Tag Equipment: Every server, cable, and component is carefully labeled to streamline reinstallation.
- Document Every Step: CAD diagrams, elevation plans, and project documentation ensure nothing is overlooked.
3. Expert Handling of IT Equipment
Moving IT equipment requires a delicate touch and specialized materials. Here’s how we ensure safe handling:
- Unmounting: Our technicians carefully unmount servers, storage devices, and network appliances from racks.
- Packing: We use advanced packing materials like anti-static bubble sheets, custom wooden crates, and foam inserts to protect equipment from damage.
- Risk Mitigation: Silica gel is used to control moisture, and all equipment is secured to prevent shifting during transit.
4. Secure Transportation
Oneworld Logix uses specially designed vehicles to transport your IT infrastructure:
- Temperature-controlled interiors to prevent overheating or moisture damage.
- Foam-padded bases and safety straps to keep equipment stable.
- Trained drivers who ensure careful handling during the journey.
