When moving your office in Toronto, ON or elsewhere in Canada, moving IT equipment, a data center or a server room is not going to be as difficult as you may expect it or fear it to be. All you need to do is get the right preparation, find the reputable Toronto IT equipment movers that you may need and make a good plan.

We prepared the tips below to prepare for your Toronto IT equipment relocation.

Make Your Server Relocation Plan Template

• Prepare an IT equipment relocation checklist to prepare for your office move. Think of everything you have to do. Set deadlines and appoint responsible people. Then distribute the list to everyone responsible as to when and what they will have to do.
• Spread the word. Let everyone know that you will be moving your IT equipment. The staff needs to know so that they are not surprised if the network is out of reach for a while.

Server room relocation

• Prepare the area for the server room relocation and then transfer the IT equipment.
• Make a back up. Copy all the important information just in case that something goes wrong around the move.
• During IT equipment relocation or when the technology arrives you may encounter some faults. So be ready to get a new piece of technology right away – that is why it is important that your vendors are aware of your server relocation plan too.
• Make sure you can connect everything back easily. Take photos of how everything is connected, you can even put the photos inside the boxes with the equipment. Clean everything up and pack it carefully.
• Prepare the area. Whether it’s a staging or a roll out, the place needs to be ready for the technology. Get the premise ready and then begin the move of the IT equipment.
• Be ready if something doesn’t work right. Of course, you may be hoping for the best but no one knows – in case something happens like a server is out be ready with the right technical help to get it fixed right away.

Choose Your IT Movers

• Find a few Toronto IT equipment movers and get a quote. You will need to compare the estimates you get from different Toronto IT relocation companies and choose the best one. Just have in mind that the lowest price is not always the best deal.
• Reliable Toronto IT equipment moving companies should have experience and be well rated. They can disconnect the IT equipment, disassemble it, pack it right, transport it, unload it, put it back together, and even power it up.
• Include an insurance inquiry in your server room relocation checklist. In case of accidents on the road you need to have a coverage for your IT equipment.
• Plan the other server relocation services that you will need and agree on a moving date with your Toronto office moving company.
• No cost can be predicted completely accurately unless you get a visual estimate. Compare the office and IT equipment relocation quotes that you get from Toronto office movers, read reviews on their websites, and make a careful decision.
