Data Center Relocation in California
We provide data center relocation services in California for server rooms, colocation suites and network closets, with projects centered on San Jose, Santa Clara and Los Angeles. Data Center Relocation Experts is based at 2208 Station Rd, Richmond, VA, and that is our only location. California moves are scheduled long-haul projects: we plan from Richmond, then send the crew, trucks and packing materials to your site.
California has two very different markets. The Bay Area around San Jose and Santa Clara is dense with colocation campuses and corporate server rooms, so many moves are between facilities a short drive apart. Los Angeles has a large mix of colocation, media, healthcare and carrier hotels, and moves there often cross a large metro with heavy traffic. In both cases the plan has to fit the building rules, not just the equipment.

Planning considerations for California
Building and dock rules
Many California facilities require advance work orders, certificates of insurance and booked dock or elevator windows. We confirm these during planning.
Traffic and timing
Bay Area and Los Angeles traffic affects load and delivery windows, so we schedule pickups and deliveries around it.
Seismic and handling care
Racks that ship loaded are braced and secured for transit, and fragile equipment is crated.
