Servers, workstations and network hardware are sensitive and essential to operations. An IT relocation requires careful planning to avoid data loss and downtime.

Back up before the move

The most important rule: make a complete backup of all data before the move. Keep it in a separate location. That way, even if something happens during transport, no data is permanently lost.

Document and label

Document all cabling and connections before dismantling – photos help. Label every device and cable. That way reassembly in the new premises is quick and error-free.

Important: Transport servers and hard drives with particular care, protected from shocks. These components are sensitive and expensive.

Safe transport

Pack the hardware in its original packaging or in padded boxes. Transport servers upright and well secured. Protect sensitive components from static electricity and moisture.

Reassembly and testing

Reassemble the IT according to your documentation. Test all systems before resuming work: network, servers, access and peripherals. Allow buffer time for any problems.
