Why CWCS
Moving physical servers is not just logistics. It is a change window, a risk decision, and often a business-critical cutover. From secure packing and transport through to delivery and staging inside CWCS data centres.
Planned around your change window to minimise disruption
Specialist handling for enterprise IT hardware
Optional audits, pre-cabling and contingency planning to reduce risk
Compare the available migration service options for relocating infrastructure into CWCS data centres. Each option can be used individually or combined depending on the scope of the migration.
Option | What it includes | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Advanced analytics | ||
| Pack & Move | Professional packing, labelling, packing manifest and secure transport into CWCS data centres | Most migrations |
| Custom branding | ||
| De-Rack to Re-Rack | Controlled de-rack, secure transport and installation into agreed rack positions | Rack relocation projects |
| Storage integrations | ||
| De-Cable to Re-Cable | Structured disconnection and reconnection following agreed patching plans | Complex environments |
| AI assistant | ||
| Populated Racks | Relocation of fully populated racks where route and transport conditions allow | Faster rack migrations |
| Automated reports | ||
| Cable Trace Audit | Physical tracing and documentation of connectivity before migration | Connectivity verification |
| Automated reports | ||
| Hardware Audit | Validation of physical hardware estate and asset records | Incomplete asset records |
| Automated reports | ||
| Pre-Cable & Label | Destination cabling staged and labelled ahead of migration | Tight change windows |
| Automated reports | ||
| Contingency Planning | Standby support and rollback planning for critical migrations | High-risk changes |

Equipment packed, transported and installed within CWCS facilities.
Assets verified, reconciled and handed over with documentation.
This service is designed for organisations moving infrastructure into CWCS colocation facilities.
It is typically used when customers are deploying servers, storage or network equipment into CWCS data centres but prefer not to organise the relocation themselves.
The service supports the relocation of common IT infrastructure including:
• Servers
• Storage arrays
• Network equipment
• Racks and cabinets where appropriate
• PDUs and UPS equipment
• Associated IT infrastructure
Yes. Migrations are planned around an agreed change window so downtime can be controlled and services restored as quickly as possible.
Planning typically includes sequencing of activity, equipment preparation and reconciliation at the destination facility.
Yes. For environments with complex connectivity, options such as De-Cable to Re-Cable and Cable Trace Audit can be used to document and manage patching before and during the migration.
This helps reduce the risk of mis-patching and speeds up service restoration.
In some environments racks can be moved as populated units.
However this depends on route constraints, transport considerations and safety requirements. Suitability is confirmed during the scoping stage.
Migrations include clear documentation such as:
• Item labelling
• Packing manifests
• Asset reconciliation at destination
• Handover documentation
This helps ensure equipment is tracked and verified throughout the migration process.
Yes. Depending on the scope of the migration, additional services may include:
• Hardware audit and asset validation
• Pre-cabling and pre-labelling at the destination rack
• Cable trace audits
• Contingency and rollback planning
These options are confirmed during the planning stage.
Yes. If equipment is being retired as part of the migration, compliant ITAD / WEEE disposal and reporting can be included within the same project.
You can request a quote by providing details of the infrastructure you plan to move and your preferred migration window.
If available, uploading a kit list or asset inventory will help speed up scoping and quotation.
Planned Around Your Change Window
Hardware moves are scheduled around your agreed migration window to minimise disruption and keep services returning online quickly.
