FAQs
They are advisory, project and managed services covering the full data centre journey: site assessment, planning, design and cost estimation, risk assessment, build and migration, hardware and software procurement, consolidation and optimisation, and hardware decommission and disposition. The work is delivered through a documented method called M.O.V.E.
Through discovery and rehearsal. Assets, dependencies and move groups are mapped first, then grouped into waves against your maintenance windows. Every cutover follows a minute-by-minute run book with pre-testing, migration simulations, run-book walkthroughs, go or no-go checkpoints and a documented fallback plan agreed with your team in advance.

Decommissioning is part of the scope, not an afterthought. We handle de-installation, packaging in custom crates, air and land transport with documented chain of custody, and where equipment is not being reused, recycling and certified data destruction. Licence termination, configuration management database updates and a final audit close the engagement.
.Transformation does not end at go-live. You can move to a managed service covering 24/7 monitoring and reporting, incident, problem and change management, cloud, server, database and network administration, and cost optimisation, with Advanced Managed Services available where you need senior specialists and formal governance.
