Validating the Data Center & Server Components

We validate critical components such as storage, firewalls, routers, switches, etc., by shutting them down for cooling and turning them back on to check working conditions. If they do not recover from the cool-down process, we troubleshoot them or use new ones in their place.

Backup Valuable Data & Prepare Data Center Assets

We check if data is backed up into an external hardware; if not, we backup the data before preparing the components. We unplug the chords, pack them in Ziplocs and label them accordingly. We also turn off the servers and let them cool down before packing.

Packing & Migrating the Data Center and Servers

We carefully pack individual components, stack them, and label them appropriately. We use high-quality packaging supplies, customized handling equipment, and determine the best route to transport your hardware, so that we can deliver them safely in minimum downtime.

Post-Migration Verification & Testing of Hardware

We properly place the data center components in the desired spot and check for any hardware damage. We will then quickly connect the servers and set up the data center; finally, we will test the working of components and check for any missing data.
