Computer Room Relocation Implementation Service
PTS provides comprehensive planning, project management, and implementation services for clients requiring Computer Room Relocation due to consolidations,
migrations, acquisitions, business moves, or other strategic business reasons. PTS provides specific technical expertise and labor to prepare all IT and facilities equipment for relocation, load and transport all equipment, re-install and recertify equipment, and document and hand off to client operational and IT personnel.
PTS' Computer Room Relocation Implementation Service provides quality pre-move, move, and post-move services to support computer room relocations which fall within the ninth phase of
the PTS data center project process.
Data Center relocations are expensive and require specific expertise and experience. Therefore, we recommend completing these programs using skilled personnel intimately familiar with IT migrations.
PTS fully specifies and implements all elements of the relocation program. Specific activities include:
- Project Management. Detailed project schedule, team structure, and PTS and Client Requirements are developed. Comprehensive communications across all partners including client, PTS, landlord (if applicable), and other subcontractors are completed by PTS project management personnel as preparation for onsite work is completed.
- Pre-Move Site Preparation. PTS relocation professionals arrive onsite and perform a pre-move assessment of all infrastructure to verify size, count, physical layout, packing requirements, labeling of all devices, cables, and equipment with specific information for new rack location, position, and integration requirements, path for transport from the facility, cabling requirements, and other facility and IT requirements.
- Move Plan Creation (if necessary). PTS develops and delivers a complete Move Plan specifying all aspects of the Computer Room Relocation program including labeling, de-installation, packing, transport, unloading, unpacking, re-installation, re-cabling (if separately contracted to do so), re-certification of equipment per the OEM (if optionally contracted to do so), documentation, clean-up, and other miscellaneous tasks associated with the relocation.
- Move Implementation. PTS personnel perform de-installation, packing, loading, transporting, unloading, re-installation, and recertification of equipment per the Original Equipment Manufacturer.
- Post-Move Consulting. Project completion activities including punch list completion, move review, documentation, and clean-up.
