Data Centre Migration
Migrating to a data centre is a complex process that requires detailed planning and execution. The benefits of moving to a purpose built facility make an extremely compelling case with all the enhancements to security, resilience, scalability and flexibility. However, to minimise disruption to business as normal, ukngroup assists clients using our in-depth technical expertise and practical experience to ensure a smooth transition.
By assessing the mission critical requirements and designing a continuity plan during the change over, a data centre migration can be carried out that minimises risk and the potential for unexpected downtime.
Auditing the existing infrastructure is an essential part of the migration process and opens the opportunity to virtualise and consolidate where possible, in order to reduce server sprawl and lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
Our experience has emphasised the need for a close working relationship on a project of this kind, with an open book approach to knowledge and skills transfer for new infrastructure.
The ukngroup project team are able to provide all the logistical planning and support required for the physical move and will document a process for decommissioning outdated hardware.
