5 Ways to Prepare for Business Data Center Relocation

Data center relocation has many benefits for businesses, like minimized disruption and increased lifespan. Therefore, it’s essential to properly prepare for the move with the following steps:

Find the Right Moving Company

Finding the right moving company can be one of the most challenging parts of the data center relocation process. Fortunately, CRS Moving & Storage makes it easy for you to grow your business. We help manage every aspect of your move, including storage, liquidation, and installation, so you don’t have to worry about keeping track of multiple vendors.

Decide What You Want to Move

During the planning phase of your move, we review all your items and help you decide what you want to move, donate, or sell. You should consider the size and orientation of your new space to determine what can and cannot fit. Furthermore, you can take this time to inventory your hardware and decide if anything needs updating. This helps us save time and materials when packing your data center and saves you money by avoiding moving unnecessary items.

Discuss Your Goals 

When planning your move, we review your goals and answer your questions about the process. This may include the following elements of your relocation:

  • Critical applications and data and what needs to be backed up
  • Your data’s security during the relocation
  • How your equipment will fit in your new space

We strive to understand your business and objectives, so we can always keep them in mind and set up your new space to your satisfaction. Our team ensures everything fits into your new space for minimal setup delay and optimal productivity.

Create a Moving Timeline

Once we understand your needs and goals for the relocation, we take all aspects of the move, including transportation, installation, and testing, into account to create a realistic schedule that will keep everyone on track for a successful transition. Our pre-planning professionals can help you develop and stick to this timeline.
