Planning a data centre or computer room relocation is a complex process and requires specialist planning. Technology is cental to the relocation and in order to carry out a successful migration it is critical that those planning it have a thorough understanding of the technology that is moving. Migration Solutions staff have this technological understanding that is essential to any data centre or computer room migration.
Contrary to what many people believe, not all equipment in a data centre draws air from front to back. Understanding that some network switches draw air from side to side, or that some SAN equipment draws air from bottom to top, is essential in the planning of a data centre or computer room move. Understanding how the network works, how cabling must support it, or how a SAN connected device will connect through a fabric switch, is as critical as understanding how the air conditioning works, or how the backup generator is triggered into life.
Migration Solutions staff understand the technology involved in a data centre or computer room migration. They have a thorough understanding of all aspects that may affect or impact that technology such as power requirements, connectivity requirements, cooling requirements and how it all hangs together. They also understand the supporting infrastructure of cooling, power, cabling, security etc. This is a unique set of skills that is rarely found throughout the industry.
