Before understanding the process of moving a data center.First of all, let us understand what is a data center.

Data center a large number of composed network computers, security device, and storage that large organization and businesses use to manage their data, communication, and process in large amount.

1.Team for relocating a data center will consist of the following employee:

2. As we all know that data center relocation is not an easy process and for moving data center it needs planning and proper execution of successful data center relocation. For this first few steps are very important. So initially a team will be decided for this task which is done above. After that, we need to check that how much is the distance from one place to other. After that, we need to check the environment of the relocation place like temperature, space, and security. After that, we need to decide the time for data relocation which in this will be done when there is no work going on. Because work should not be affected by data center relocation. After that, all the employee/people using resources of this data center will be sent an email to data center relocation so they know not to use resources of the data center. Finally taking backup of the data so if anything happens when we have data.

3. When shifting data center from one place to other there are a lot of things that can affect the data center. First of all, we need to check the environment like the temperature of the place, humidity etc as this play major part in server and data center performance. After that, we need check place of the data center as when any disaster occur how to recover data and other equipment. Testing the data center is important because after the relocation performance of data center should be same as before. Finally, make sure while migrating data center nothing is done which can void the warranty because data center are really expensive.

Hope this helps...
