Weekend IDC Relocation for a Global FinTech Company
End-to-End Physical Migration with Zero Damage and Fast Recovery
Overview
A global financial technology company needed to relocate its entire IDC from a commercial data center to a new in-house server room within a single weekend.
ESUN provided full physical-layer migration services, covering shutdown coordination, labeling, disassembly, packing, transportation, rack installation, cable reconstruction, and onsite support during system verification.
Challenges
1
Extremely limited migration window
The entire relocation had to be completed within one weekend.
2
Large volume of critical equipment
Servers, storage, and network devices required precise handling and controlled transportation.
3
Strict site access procedures
Both the old and new locations had strict entry, exit, and registration requirements.
4
Immediate post-migration usability required
The customer expected systems to be ready for verification as soon as power was restored.
Solutions
Detailed pre-migration preparation
Conducted site walkthroughs, verified rack positions, pathways, elevator limits, device lists, and created an hour-by-hour migration plan.
Controlled shutdown and disassembly
Worked with the customer IT team to label devices and cables, document connections, and safely disassemble equipment.
Professional packing and transportation
Used anti-static materials, shock-proof protection, and lift-gate vehicle transport with controlled loading and unloading.
Rack installation and cable reconstruction
Completed rack positioning, device mounting, power connection, structured cabling, and onsite coordination for power-on checks and system verification.
