Data Center Migration

A data center migration is the logical and operational migration of a data center, then physically moving the data center to a new site. However, in the case of end users, data center migration refers to adopting cloud or managed data center platforms in favor of in-house or standard data center facilities.

Before a successful data center migration can occur, the following must be ensured:

• The new facility meets or exceeds expected future data center requirements.
• It is compatible with current applications and solutions.
• Migration testing must ensure migration is successful.
• Relocating and managing staff’s schedule and workflow to ensure minimal impact to current business operations.
