Our rigidly adherent, proven process has been refined through more than 20,000 successful technical moves. Each step is meticulously executed to ensure the protection of your valuable technology assets and minimize operational disruption.
01 Project Planning
Every successful data center relocation begins with comprehensive planning. Our technical project managers work closely with your team to understand your specific requirements, timeline constraints, and business priorities. This collaborative approach allows us to develop a customized relocation strategy that addresses your unique needs. We'll assess your current technology environment, identify critical systems, and establish clear objectives for the transition.
02 Detailed Disconnect
The disconnection phase requires meticulous attention to detail. Our certified technicians carefully document your current setup before any equipment is touched. Using our proprietary documentation system, we record the exact configuration of your equipment, including cable connections, network settings, and hardware placement. This detailed record serves as the blueprint for reconnection at your new location, ensuring that even the most complex setups are accurately recreated.
03 Advanced Load Carts
Proper handling during the preparation for transport is essential for protecting delicate technology equipment. Our specialized carts and packing materials are designed specifically for IT equipment, providing proper cushioning and stabilization. Equipment is systematically organized and secured to prevent movement during transport, with additional protection for particularly sensitive components. Our loading procedures follow strict protocols to maintain the integrity of your equipment.
04 Air-Ride Transport
The transportation phase presents unique challenges for sensitive technology equipment. Our vehicles feature air-ride suspension systems that significantly reduce vibration and impact during transit. This specialized transport solution minimizes the physical stress on electronic components, helping to prevent damage that could lead to failures after reinstallation. Throughout transport, your equipment remains under our direct supervision, maintaining a secure chain of custody.
05 Placement
Upon arrival at your new location, our team implements a systematic approach to equipment placement. Using detailed floor plans and equipment layouts developed during the planning phase, we position each piece of equipment in its designated location. This careful orchestration ensures proper spacing for airflow, access for maintenance, and optimal configuration for your operational needs. Precise placement establishes the foundation for successful reconnection and operation.
06 Reconfiguration (If Needed)
In some relocations, equipment may require reconfiguration to accommodate new spatial arrangements or operational requirements. When necessary, our technical specialists can adjust rack configurations, optimize cable routing, or implement other modifications to enhance your technology setup. These adjustments are performed according to industry best practices and manufacturer guidelines to maintain proper functionality and warranty compliance.
07 Reconnect
The reconnection phase is where our detailed documentation proves invaluable. Our technicians systematically rebuild your technology infrastructure following the exact specifications recorded during disconnection. Each cable is connected to its proper port, each component is integrated into the correct position, and all systems are carefully brought back online according to proper startup sequences. This methodical approach minimizes configuration errors and reduces troubleshooting time.

Before we consider a relocation complete, we conduct comprehensive testing to verify that all systems are functioning correctly. Our validation process includes connectivity tests, function verification, and performance checks to ensure your technology environment is fully operational. We work closely with your IT team to confirm that all critical systems meet your requirements and that users can resume normal activities without disruption.
