What Everybody Ought To Know Before Moving A Data Center Blaine Berger

Who has the time to educate everyone on a complex project like a data center move?

This guide was written for those who are planning their first data center move. It strips the mystery around the process, informs executives about the challenges, and describes every data center move phase with prescriptions for success.



Written in plain language, it's the perfect tool for on boarding others at any phase of a data center relocation.

What's not in this guide?

You won't find full-blown work breakdown schedules (WBS), actual budgets, or any boilerplate project plans. The guide instead prepares you to understand the process and create your own work products. Application inventory and dependency mapping is a complex and highly technical subject making it impractical to cover in a beginner's guide to data center moving.



If you want to invest preparation time to understand the complexity of a data center move either as an executive or a practitioner, then this guide is your tool.



No matter what stage you find yourself or the degree of panic you feel, ground yourself in the fundamentals to effectively manage the urgency, people, and process required for a successful data center move.
