GPIT’s server / data center relocation service moves your systems to a new location (data center, server room, colocation) safely, on schedule and with minimal downtime.
Problems businesses often face
- Moving office / renting new colocation space, but worried about equipment failure or data loss during dismantling and transport.
- No connection diagram, so the system can’t be restored to its original state after the move.
- Downtime runs longer than planned, affecting operations and business.
- Multiple scattered vendors (power, network, transport) with no one taking overall responsibility.
Scope of work
- Survey & document the current state: equipment inventory, physical & logical diagrams, service dependencies.
- Design the new location: rack layout, power & UPS, cooling, network & fibre cabling, earthing.
- Plan the move: shutdown/startup order, time windows, contingency and rollback plans.
- Back up before the move: full backup, with a restore test.
- Dismantle – transport – install: shock-proof packing, transport, connection per the design.
- Testing & acceptance: power up the system in order, check services, hand over as-built documentation.
Delivery process
- Survey both ends – the current and the new location.
- Detailed design & move plan – timeline, staffing, risks, rollback plan.
- Sign the contract & NDA.
- Prepare the new location – install power, network, cooling and rack infrastructure.
- Carry out the move – within the agreed time window, with supervision.

Service commitment (SLA)
- A committed downtime window and a clear rollback plan.
- Certified infrastructure & virtualization engineers (VMware, Cisco).
- A full backup before the move; an NDA in place.
- A 12-month warranty on infrastructure work at the new location.
