 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We commissioned a Wi-Fi survey and installation of new fibre and Cat6 cabling to support a new Wi-Fi installation from Accl in July and August of 2026. ACCL were superb from start to finish. We cannot fault the quality of the work and we received great advice on our project. Very satisfied customer!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used ACCL for a full WiFi and network install at our Old Street office and are very pleased with the result. They supplied and installed seven Ubiquiti WiFi access points, a UniFi Dream Machine, a 24 port Layer 3 Ubiquiti switch, and ran new Cat6A Leviton cabling with two ports to every AP. The whole job was neat, well planned and done to a very high standard. The coverage across the office is excellent and it looks pretty cool too! Would happily recommend them to anyone needing cabling or network infrastructure done properly.

The ACCL team installed our new network cabling, the foundation in readiness for supplying and installing a new IP CCTV camera system, professionally and efficiently. They were punctual, knowledgeable, and took the time to ensure everything was installed neatly and working perfectly. Their attention to detail and customer service were outstanding. I very much appreciate the initial project management and upfront planning, which combined to secure a successful delivery. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable network cabling or CCTV installation. Thank you for a fantastic job.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've worked with Wayne, David and the ACCL team for a number of years on projects throughout London. One of very few suppliers that we never have to question their proposal on detail or price, everything is clear, transparent and fair. Projects are always completed on time and there are never any costly surprises which we had previously experienced from other suppliers. They all have a vast knowledge on anything fibre optic cabling, copper cabling or wifi. ACCL is now the only data cabling company in our phone book. Highly recommended.

Why Consider a 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 data centre move, 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.

How Long Does a Typical Data Centre Relocation Take?

The timeline for relocating a data centre can vary greatly, influenced by numerous factors. However, understanding the key components can offer a clearer picture of what to expect.

1. Assessing the Scale and Complexity:

Size of the Data Centre: Smaller facilities might move within a few days. Larger, more complex centres can take weeks to successfully relocate.
Technology and Systems: The diversity and intricacy of the equipment in your data centre also play a role. Cutting-edge technology often requires meticulous handling and longer transfer times.

2. Distance to New Location:

Proximity is a significant player. A local move might wrap up more swiftly, while cross-country relocations extend the timeframe.

3. Planning and Implementation:

Preparation: A detailed plan is crucial. Companies like IBM, Dell, and HPE often emphasise robust project management to mitigate risks and streamline the process.
Execution: Efficient execution means less downtime and interruption, crucial for minimising delays.

In summary, while a data centre move could be completed in a matter of days, the particulars might extend it to several weeks. Planning and complexity are key variables, that make each move unique.

Minimising Downtime and Risk:

Careful planning and execution are vital to minimising downtime and avoiding hardware or software failures during transit. We will provide a detailed guide to help you navigate the complexities of data centre relocation, ensuring you don’t miss any critical steps.

Steps for a Successful Data Centre Relocation

Scalability Assessment: Evaluate your future needs regarding space and data requirements.
Cloud Requirements: Assess compatibility and scalability with your current cloud model.
Space and Ventilation Needs: Ensure the new location meets your spacing, ventilation, and cooling requirements.
Power Load Capacity: Check if the new facility can handle your power load needs.
Additional Equipment: Identify any additional cabling or network equipment required.
Shutdown and Uninstallation: Coordinate proper shutdown and uninstallation of existing equipment.
Shipping and Installation: Prepare for the transportation and reinstallation of your infrastructure.
Project Management Plan: Create a comprehensive plan to manage the relocation process.
Testing Plan: Develop a thorough testing plan to ensure all systems function correctly post-relocation.

By considering these factors and meticulously planning your move, you can achieve a smooth transition to a new data centre, enhancing your operational efficiency and future-proofing your infrastructure.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank, You, Wayne and the team for such an excellent and professional implementation.
The organisation was fantastic and the way you worked within the building was great 😊 the business users did not even know what was going on in the building 😊 We would definitely not hesitate to use you guys again.

I have been dealing with Wayne at ACCL for some time now, as I was tasked by my employer to refurbish our server cabinets across 30 offices in London. I can’t begin to express how good Wayne and his guys are. They have replaced and refurbished a large number of our server cabinets so far, with no issues, all in a very timely manner.
They have done a highly professional job, have always kept in contact, and have given us advice/suggestions on what was needed when we weren’t too sure. I would highly recommend using ACCL for any IT/Cabling work.
