Forsythe offers three tiers of data center relocation services, depending on the criticality of your move:
·
Relocation Logistics Services – for straightforward moves with low criticality
·
Business Critical – on-site coordination, business assurance and equipment services for moves with higher criticality
·
Mission Critical – we can oversee every step in the process, even replicating your data center if need be. We provide the highest level of protection available in the industry, including custom insurance and business assurance options designed specifically for relocation.
At the completion of your data center relocation project, we'll provide you with a complete inventory of your hardware and software environment, which you can then incorporate into your IT asset management strategy. We can also offer additional services, such as business continuity and recovery, security strategy, asset management, alignment and enterprise management depending on your needs.
