Server Relocation


Halfway through the week and apart from the usual mix of logistics we have already completed a Luxembourg to Dusseldorf server relocation project and this morning are back out in Amsterdam in The Netherlands on our regular round robin to London Heathrow distributing computer networking equipment.

Dusseldorf server relocation by Secure Transportation
Monday our handling and security procedures were put to the test for a high profile company who required a 3 rack server move from Luxembourg to Dusseldorf. Immediate feedback from our client's US customer was that the move was handled professionally and with military precision. 

All equipment was de racked ready for labelling as per the rack elevation plan / build list and was then securely packed in our anti static lined bespoke server flight cases for the short trip to Dusseldorf. 
​
  • Flight cases fitted with Shock Watch labels to monitor handling.
  • Security sealed from point to point to ensure integrity of load.
  • Flight cases individually tracked with portable GPS devices.
  • Double manned vehicle.
  • Thatcham approved deadlocks to all doors
  • Plain un sign-written vehicle
  • Remote engine immobilisation from anywhere in the world.

You Snow it Makes sense

Stuff That Keeps us Going

With all this bad weather about it is hard to get away from all the social media posts and 24 hour news of what has been going on. It's starting to thaw out in London now so I thought I might add my two penn'orth in and share a couple of the most important things that keeps us going as a transport / logistics provider.

It's not rocket science!

  1. Get yourself some winter tyres. It doesn't cost you any more money in the long run. 
  2. Invest in some snow chains. They are easy to put on once you have the knack.

If your vehicle can't move you can't make a delivery.

​Not convinced?

Having driven all over Europe, across most mountain ranges and in all conditions I believe winter tyres and chains are a must to get you out of trouble and keep you moving.

​See the difference on this Auto Express comparison I have pulled from YouTube.

Maybe some of the UK disruption wouldn't have been half as bad if people's vehicles had both of these.

Of course it doesn't matter what tyres you have because if you drive like an idiot they aren't probably going to make much of a difference any way. 

So my next 2 top tips are:

  1. Slow the heck down. 
  2. Don't sit up the arse of the vehicle in front.

Of course we all need to be conscientious, make a living and not let anyone down otherwise the country would grind to a halt, but needless to say if it is that bad and could be a danger to life and a non essential journey that could be done at a later date then keep off the road and don't add to the problems!

Sometimes though you do just get caught up in it and have to improvise and get on with it. The pictures below are from an IT transportation and installation job back in 2006 to Copenhagen Denmark when we weren't all like "snowflakes". Needless to say we had most of the right tools to get the job done!

Another new client and another IT relocation. Working with our client's engineers we de racked the nodes, switches and DAE's and packed them in our bespoke flight cases. The customer required our fibreglass floor protection boards  to move the racks and equipment out of the building to protect the marble floor. Equipment was relocated to another facility and re racked all within the day.

Nothing like kicking the week off with an IT relocation job. These images taken from today.

Just a normal day at the office!

2016 IT Relocation Project

Picture
Hard to believe this IT relocation project was a year ago today. How time flies.

​After several months of planning we finally moved Juniper Networks demo lab from their Addlestone, Surrey office to their newly refurbished office at 38 Threadneedle Street in the heart of London's financial district. The project involved de racking numerous Juniper devices using our specialist Chassis Lift & Slide System - CLASS™ and securely packing in our range of bespoke flight cases ready for transport to London.

​
The day before the move was spent in the newly refurbished Addlestone office de racking everything, being especially careful not to scratch the walls!

​Here a couple of EX9200's racked up in one of our 24u shock mount flight cases.

*All equipment whether being installed or transported is covered under our bespoke marine cargo policy anywhere in Europe. We can quote without referral up to £0.5m.
Picture
​Bishopsgate and Threadneedle Street London are logistically challenging, one with no legal parking and the other on a red route. Not for the faint hearted and only to be attempted on a weekend. The weather was on our side too as van loads of equipment were lined along the side of the road waiting to be moved in through the front entrance.
The showcase lab with customised racks and blue mood up-lighting can be seen through a viewing window by guests from the comfort of the office whilst relaxing having a coffee. My photo doesn't do it justice, it needs to be seen in person!
Picture
Special thanks to everyone in our team and also Martin Matthews, Trevor Edwards and George White from Juniper for their help in getting everything racked up. It was a very long day but everything went to plan.

Manufactured and supplied by 5 Star Cases with our distinctive corporate colours of an orange lid line this adds to our ever increasing stock of equipment to ensure we have the right tools to do the job.

IT Datacenter Relocation Project

Datacenter Relocation Project

A short video clip of the end result of 2 days up in the "Northern Powerhouse". Numerous chassis de / re racked by Secure Transportation Ltd on time and within budget, fully insured and most importantly a happy client.
Cisco 6500 series
These HP blade servers went in around April 2015 and are now due for relocation as part of a major network change for our Manchester based client along with another 20 or so other chassis's of multiple brands.

This phase is part of an ongoing project and spanned across 2 days. With a few anomalies along the way we de racked the various kit from 3 PODS and relocated them to their new data hall within the same building. ​
​With a regular and growing client base Secure Transportation Ltd often find themselves in that "Déjà vu" scenario when they realise the kit they are de racking is stuff they have already installed a few years back. Explore lots more of our projects via the unique URL

Below 3 HP blade servers and a Dell de racked and ready for re racking on day 1 along with some Cisco series 6500 chassis, Juniper MX 240's and a rack of Genband.
