subject: Lighten Your Data Centre Relocation Efforts By Scheduling Biweekly Team Review Meetings [print this page] Data centers are normally relocated when the building it is houses can no longer support the added physical and technological requirements of the countless paraphernalia associated to them. Computer systems, climate control systems like air-conditioning, power systems and backups, storage facilities, telecommunication systems etc are intrinsic elements of every data centre. But many a times you feel that the existing space and backup systems are insufficient to meet the growing needs of the existing data centre. In such a circumstance, there is no other way out than moving into a new location that has enough scope for future expansions and technology additions.
Moving a data center is not similar to moving a home or household possessions. To pack up, transport and install all the systems to the new location you need to make up a team of hardware engineers, electrical professionals, data centre architects and a general contractor to monitor all activities including the paper works and other documentation matters.
You have to make sure that all the professional members involved in the moving project should equally contribute their best efforts to produce maximum good results to the work though the process is time consuming. There should be enough security and power supply systems at the new edifice accommodating the data center. For at least another ten years the new center should serve you before it out grows the existing requirements.
In order to assist you in efficiently migrating the existing system and its required equipments you need a perfectly professional team who can design the new data center and install all the computers and backup systems there.
Bi-weekly team review meetings are to be conducted in order to ensure the progress achieved by the team in the migration project. This will be helpful in speeding up the process of relocation. You can also keep a status history to check the progress in each job assigned on individuals. Thus, you can complete your project within a specified period.
