Data Center Relocation

"Data center move or relocation plan requires diligent and seamless integration between the data center facilities plan and the IS organization plan, and ensuring coordinated project management and execution."                                                                                                               - Gartner

What our customer say:

"Your assistance in transporting our data center from Tampa, FL to Charlotte, NC was like manna from heaven. Being a mid-size company we were having trouble finding an economical but yet highly professional and secure way to transport our equipment in a timely manner. We needed to perform tape backups on our databases, have (the equipment manufacturer) certify the equipment, shut down our servers, de-rack the computers, pack up our computers, load them in a vehicle, transport them across three state lines, unload the equipment, unpack the equipment, rack the servers in cabinets, have (the equipment manufacturer) certify the equipment, and be back online within a matters of 48 hours. Butler virtually did everything from the point of us shutting down the servers in Tampa to reconnect the equipment in Charlotte. We made our deadline with 12 hours to spare. None of the equipment even scratched in the moving process. Butler made our move virtually pain free"
