What Is Data Center Migration?
Data center migration is the process of physically relocating servers, networking equipment, storage systems, and supporting infrastructure from one facility to another while maintaining operational continuity. According to the Uptime Institute, unplanned data center downtime costs an average of $9,000 per minute, making precision logistics essential during any move. An estimated 85% of data center migrations experience failures tied to inadequate planning or improper handling of sensitive IT assets. STSI (Specialty Transport Solutions Inc.) differentiates itself by combining deep IT infrastructure knowledge with specialized logistics capabilities, including climate-controlled transport, GPS-tracked chain-of-custody documentation, and phased migration planning. With over 500 successful data center relocations completed for Fortune 500 enterprises and government agencies, STSI delivers zero-downtime migrations that protect both hardware integrity and business continuity from decommission through reinstallation.
