A 120-Rack Migration With Zero Downtime Isn't Luck. It's Vetting.
The difference between a flawless data center move and a catastrophic one is the crew you hire. PowerRoute matches you with providers who have moved 14,200+ racks without losing a single asset.
What Goes Wrong When You Hire the Wrong Crew
Data center relocations are high-stakes, low-margin-for-error operations. Here's what we see when companies skip proper vetting.
Unplanned Downtime
A single mislabeled cable or dropped rack can cascade into hours — or days — of production downtime. The average cost of data center downtime is $9,000 per minute.
Broken Chain of Custody
If your drives leave the building without tamper-evident seals, serial logging, and GPS tracking, your compliance certification is at risk. Period.
Uncertified Crews
Laborers without facility clearances, background checks, or IT handling experience. One wrong move with a loaded rack and you're looking at six figures in damaged equipment.
How Our Matched Providers Execute a DC Move
Every provider in our network follows a standardized, auditable process. No shortcuts. No improvising.
Pre-Move Assessment
Your matched provider inventories every rack, cable, and connection. Serial numbers logged. Photos documented. Labels applied. Nothing moves until everything is mapped.
Coordinated Teardown
Systematic disconnection following your change management protocol. Power-down sequence, cable labeling, and rack preparation with anti-static handling throughout.
Secure Transport
Climate-controlled vehicles. Shock pallets. GPS tracking. Tamper-evident seals on every rack. Your equipment travels like the six-figure asset it is.
Rack & Stack + Validation
Installation at the destination facility, cabling per your documentation, and full power-on testing. You don't sign off until every system is confirmed live.
Every Provider is Certified. Every Time.
We reject 60% of providers who apply. The ones who make it hold these certifications — verified annually.
