Data Centre Strategy

Data centre moves are infrequent. Few people in the organisation will have recent prior experience of them.
Reaching a threshold level of some constraint such as power, air conditioning, or floor space usually triggers a move to or the creation of a new data centre. They are significant projects and need careful planning: dependencies must be identified, the sequence of migration determined, the impact on software licences uncovered, and the actual migration approach decided, which may or may not involve outsourcing (or even insourcing).
