Data Center Relocation and Migration
Lift-and-Shift Data Center Moves
Same-configuration physical relocation where equipment is moved as-is to a new facility.
A lift-and-shift move is the most straightforward relocation strategy: take everything exactly as it is, move it to the new location, and set it up in the same configuration. This approach is ideal when the goal is speed and simplicity, there are no hardware refreshes, no architecture changes, and no application re-platforming happening concurrently. The environment at the destination should be a physical mirror of the source, down to the rack position and cable run.
