Even organizations that manage world-class data centers sometimes lack the specific expertise required for data center relocation and consolidation projects. Most companies relocate their IT equipment once or twice a decade, at most, and moving a production data center is a complex, mission-critical project. Errors made during a move can bring business to a standstill, so minimizing risk and maximizing pre-planning is essential.
This webinar explores the best practices associated with successful moves, and highlight some common pitfalls that can derail your project and how to avoid them. Discussion topics included:
- Selecting the right site for your new data center
- Identifying the right move strategy
- Why benchmarking application performance is an essential component of your move planning
- Should you consider virtualizing servers or moving applications to the cloud before, during, or after a relocation event
- Reducing or eliminating down time during the move
- How to eliminate human error during your move
