Data Centre Moves

At SunGap-UK we also offer Engineer IT Relocation from IT equipment in an office to office move or Servers from data centre to another data centre, But rather getting a company that use non technical employees to move IT equipment we use Qualified Engineers so the customer has peace of mind. If a peace of IT equipment fails to work if moved then our engineers are qualified to get the system working again..Less downtime & less cost for the customer.

To date SunGap-UK have executed several datacentre/office relocations, some of these relocations have been for ISP's and managed service providers who have very high SLA's to meet. When relocating a datacentre/office for clients such as ISP's you are not only relocating for them but you are also relocating for their customers.

Each datacentre/office relocation that SunGap-UK takes on has to be fully project managed by one of our specific relocation project manager, each project will have a full worksheet drawn up detailing the exact work to be carried out on each relocation. These work sheets are the result of several meetings with the client prior to carrying out the project. The meetings are there to ascertain :
