Moving a server from an office to a data center takes one day if you prepare. This is the list we send clients before installation.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Chassis.<\/strong> 19-inch rack-mount only, 1U to 4U, with rails or brackets. Tower cases do not go into the rack.<\/li>\n
  2. Power.<\/strong> One or two power supplies, their rated draw, C13\/C14 cables.<\/li>\n
  3. Network.<\/strong> A 100 Mbps port is in the plan; decide in advance whether you need 1 Gbps and how many IPv4 addresses.<\/li>\n
  4. Remote management.<\/strong> IPMI\/iDRAC\/iLO configured and tested before the move.<\/li>\n
  5. Backup.<\/strong> Full, restore-tested, stored off the server.<\/li>\n
  6. Delivery.<\/strong> Arranged by the client; we receive, mount and connect.<\/li>\n
  7. Documents.<\/strong> Agreement, service order, equipment intake form with serial numbers.<\/li>\n
  8. Contacts.<\/strong> Who on your side makes decisions at three in the morning.<\/li>\n
  9. Monitoring.<\/strong> What exactly we should check and where to report.<\/li>\n
  10. Rollback plan.<\/strong> What to do if the service does not come up after the move.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    After installation we send a photo of the mounted server and confirm network reachability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
