Data Center Migration - Implementation Services
On our homepage we suggest that there are three critical success factors to know before considering migrating or consolidating a data center. The first of these is, have you done one before? If you haven’t, don’t! Find someone that has! A data center migration is an extremely complex project which requires careful planning and execution. At a minimum, a strategy and a plan should be developed by a team that has extensive experience and significant scars in relocations.
This brings us to our second and third critical success factors. #2 - Never plan to do a data center migration with your own staff even after acknowledging critical success factor #1, and #3 – Do plan to have your key server, storage, and network resource join the migration team and backfill them so that they do not have ‘day jobs’. Adopting these three critical success factors will help to insure the success of your company's data center migration project.
System Infrastructure Innovators employs a strategic, cafeteria-style methodology that helps your company determine where you are today (current state), where you would like to be (future state) and viable alternatives on how your company can get from the current state to the future state (migration paths). There are many techniques available that can enable a seamless, non-disruptive migration between locations across town or across countries.
Contact us to schedule a meeting to discuss your company's migration objectives and the appropriate level of strategic planning necessary to provide your company a solid foundation for a data center migration project.
