IT infrastructure migration – How it’s done

Moving sensitive IT infrastructure around can be an arduous task at the best of times, even when simply moving servers around in the same building. The task becomes all the more complex when moving hardware between facilities – across countries or even continents.

Migration is something that either goes well, or goes horribly wrong. Moving critical equipment can cause irreparable damage to systems, either through physical damage to hardware from incorrect movement, or damage to data through static and magnetic fields – both can be deadly.

To ensure your move goes as planned, you will need a technical migration partner who can plan the entire move from start to finish. Netwise Hosting have a number of national and global IT infrastructure migration partners who can assist clients at highly competitive rates. Our partners in this field are the best in the business, with specialist equipment designed to make moving critical hardware trouble-free.

Anti-static packaging, impact resistant flight cases, smooth air suspension on all fleet vehicles and expertly trained personnel all contribute towards a fail-safe service that will ensure your systems are moved quickly and efficiently from A to B, ready for re-service as soon as possible.

Migrations form part of our RightStart Colocation Support services, meaning our colocation consultancy team can orchestrate this process for you, bringing in our expert partners where required to move equipment to and from our data centres. If you would like to explore these options in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact a member of our team.

Netwise Hosting Highly Commended as Best Green Business

Highly CommendedThe team at Netwise Hosting are very pleased to announce that we have been Highly Commended in the Best Green Business category at this years South London Business Awards.

This places us in the top two greenest organisations in South London, beating over 2,000 fellow applicants. Our position has been secured through our commitment to green technology, saving over 250 tons of CO2 every year. That’s the same as removing 55 cars from our roads.

Our London data centre has a capacity PUE of just 1.15, one of the lowest in Europe.

We would like to thank the South London Business Awards for their hospitality on the night, and for their continued support. We will be re-entering the Sutton Business Awards later this year, hoping to follow up our win in 2012.
