Data center relocation in Richmond, VA
Richmond organizations often run an on-premises server room alongside colocation space. Typical projects include consolidating a server room into colocation, moving racks between offices across the metro, and retiring old hardware during a refresh. Our Richmond, VA service area page has more on the local market.
Northern Virginia and Ashburn
Northern Virginia and Ashburn are among the busiest colocation markets in the country, and the facilities there run structured access. Expect scheduled dock slots, advance access lists, escorted entry and, often, insurance requirements. We ask for those rules early and plan around them. See our Ashburn, VA page and our Washington, DC page for nearby markets.
Planning, inventory and labeling
Every Virginia move starts with a written scope: what is moving, the order it comes down, the maintenance windows and the access rules at both sites. Each asset is recorded by make, model, serial number and rack position, and devices and cables are labeled and photographed so the destination can be rebuilt exactly.
Anti-static packing, crating and air-ride trucks
Equipment is wrapped in anti-static material and packed for the route, and fragile or high-value units go into custom crating. Racks can ship loaded and braced upright when the equipment allows it. Loads travel sealed on air-ride trucks used only for your equipment, with team drivers available for tight windows.
Liftgate, inside delivery, custody and insurance
We deliver with a liftgate where the dock is not at truck height and take equipment inside to the data hall. Serial numbers are checked at pickup and delivery and recorded in a custody log, and insurance and declared value are agreed in the written scope.
Buy back for retired equipment
Retiring hardware as part of the move? Our equipment buy back program buys servers, storage, network gear, racks, and UPS and power equipment, paying cash or a credit toward the move.
