In part 2 of the data center relocation blog series we covered the asset and application inventory. Now that the administrative items are out of the way you can begin the migration planning to your new data center.
Communication is key. The most important item to have in this whole process is a diagram of how you want your racks or cage setup. Providing this to your staff and data center technicians will minimize any communication errors for your setup.
Here is a checklist you should run through when putting your plan in place:
Setting up a maintenance window and time expectations are very important to reassure your clients. If your relocation and setup is going to take 3 hours, for example, allow time to troubleshoot should there be any issues. 25%-50% more time should be enough. Always better to complete the relocation in less time than having to expand the maintenance timeframe.
