Top 10 data centre relocation services
Data centre relocation refers to the act of migration that involves moving the entire physical infrastructure of a facility to a new site. The process involves, but is not limited to, transferring critical hardware, servers, networking components, and data to a new facility while minimising downtime.This differs to data centre migration, however, which encompasses upgrading or transitioning to new technology platforms - leaving no room for error.
