Office IT and server room relocation

Office IT and Server Room Relocation

An office move or a closing server room puts a lot of business on a few racks and a wiring closet. Data Center Relocation Experts plans and moves office IT and server rooms: servers, small racks, switches, firewalls, UPS units, workstations and the cabling that ties them together, scheduled to keep downtime short.

We bring 20+ years in moving and logistics and 500+ equipment relocations completed to every move, and we are available 24/7, including nights and weekends when your office is empty. Call (866) 216-7742 or request a quote.

Planning and inventory for a server room move

We start with a walk-through or a photo review of the room. Each server, switch, firewall, patch panel, UPS and storage device is recorded with make, model, serial number and rack position, and we note which systems depend on each other so they are powered down and brought back in a sensible order. The inventory becomes the checklist for pickup, delivery and re-install.

Labeling cables, racks and ports

Cables, ports, racks and devices are labeled before anything is unplugged, and the layout is photographed. That record lets your team or your IT provider reconnect the new room quickly, without guessing which cable went where. Small offices often skip this step, and it is the one that saves the most time on move day.

Anti-static packing, shock protection and crating

Servers and network gear go into anti-static packaging with shock protection, and drives stay with their chassis unless the plan says otherwise. Small racks can move upright and braced, and fragile or high-value items are crated. Workstations, monitors and printers are padded and labeled by user or desk so they arrive at the right location.

Air-ride trucks, liftgate and inside delivery

Equipment travels on air-ride trucks, strapped and blanket wrapped, in a sealed load checked against the inventory at each handoff. We use a liftgate when the building has no dock and deliver inside to the new server room or suite. Elevator reservations, building access rules and certificates of insurance for the property manager are arranged ahead of the move.

Chain of custody and insurance

Serial numbers, photos and signed handoffs give you a clear custody record from the old room to the new one. Insurance and declared value are agreed in the written scope before the move, so there are no surprises on the day.

Selling old gear instead of moving it

A move is a good time to retire hardware you no longer need. Our equipment buy back program buys servers, storage, network gear and racks, and pays in cash or applies a credit toward the move. Equipment we do not buy can be handled through IT equipment decommissioning.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Can you move a small office server room over a weekend?
Often yes. We are available 24/7 and can schedule pickup after hours or on weekends so the office has the least downtime. The timeline depends on the number of racks, the distance and building access.
Do you reconnect and test the equipment at the new site?
We deliver and place the equipment inside the new room, and the labeled inventory and cable photos make reconnection fast. Network configuration and testing are normally handled by your IT team or provider, and we coordinate the timing with them.
Can you move workstations and office IT together with the servers?
Yes. Workstations, monitors, printers and phones can move in the same project, labeled by desk or user, with the server room on its own schedule.
Can I sell old servers and network gear before the move?
Yes. Our buy back program pays cash or credit toward your move for eligible servers, storage, network gear and racks.See the buy back program
