Data centre relocations

Data centre relocation can be challenging and involves physically moving your existing data infrastructure to a new location, whether it be within the same facility or to an entirely new data centre.It is a complex and high-risk project that requires careful planning and execution to ensure minimal downtime and avoid errors.

Why Consider Data Centre Relocation?

For UK companies, the decision to relocate a data centre can be driven by various factors but  by carefully planning and executing the relocation, businesses can position themselves for greater success and sustainability in the long term.

  • Enhanced Scalability and Performance

    As data-rich technologies grow, your data infrastructure needs to scale accordingly. Relocating to a larger or more advanced facility can provide the necessary space and technological infrastructure to support future growth and can accommodate increased data and performance demands, and reduce your footprint if more operations shift to the cloud.

  • Reduced Expenditure

    While relocating can be costly upfront, it can also save money in the long run by optimising performance and reducing maintenance costs. Newer facilities often offer better energy efficiency, reducing operational costs.

  • Improved Energy Efficiency

    Modern data centres are designed to be more energy-efficient. If your current setup is leading to high energy costs and environmental impact, relocating to a more efficient facility can help reduce these issues.

  • Risk Mitigation

    By relocating to a more stable and secure environment, companies can safeguard their critical infrastructure and ensure business continuity.

  • Technological Advancements

    Relocating to a more modern data centre can provide access to the latest technologies and infrastructure improvements, such as faster internet connections, advanced cooling systems, and more robust power management solutions. This can enhance overall operational efficiency and performance.

  • Enhanced Security and Compliance

    Relocating to a data centre with state-of-the-art security measures can provide better protection against cyber threats. Additionally, newer facilities are often better equipped to comply with the latest data protection regulations, such as the UK GDPR, ensuring legal compliance and minimising the risk of fines and data breaches.

  • Competitive Advantage

    Being able to offer faster, more reliable services can give companies a competitive edge. Relocating to a state-of-the-art data centre can help businesses meet the growing demands of their customers and stay ahead of competitors.
