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.

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.

Early September saw us relocate several Juniper routers and MRV Lambda drivers from our client's London office across 3 sites in Manchester. Everything was packed in our bespoke flight cases and re racked using our specialist lifting equipment.

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.

A Late Summer PoC Lab Move

12/10/2015

Easy as 1 - 2 - 3


Picture
Back in early September we moved our clients London based PoC lab from South of the River Thames to their beautiful new office located in Pudding Lane, famous for the start of the Great Fire of London back in 1666! 

Picture right is one of the last chassis's being re racked, a Juniper MX960, flanked by 2 x Juniper PTX 5000's).

Getting them in was as easy as 1 2 3, using our chassis lift and slide system (CLASS™)

http://www.secure-transportation.co.uk/blog/our-chassis-lift-slide-system-has-evolved 

BUT getting them out was a completely different story!

After site surveys were done and the date set, the de rack took place from their 3rd floor office next to the Shard Skyscraper in Southwark. With no parking out the front for security reasons and around the back what can only be described as a "bomb site", it was always going to be a challenge!

If you need to dig yourself out of a big hole make sure you always have the right tools for the job


Picture
With a lift too small to accommodate the OEM packing crates or any of our flight cases and 2 steps exiting the building to this "bomb site" of a car park (they are demolishing for redevelopment but have found over 70 bodies there hence the excavation!) it was always going to be difficult. Fortunately the weather was on our side and we have all the necessary equipment to overcome any obstacle that is put in our way.

We stock most OEM pallet bases, anti static over bags, brackets and screws for Juniper Network, T, PTX, MX series routers ensuring they are transported correctly.

Other manufactures equipment such as Cisco, HP etc can be packed in our range of bespoke flight cases.

We have been using Andy for several significant projects over the past couple of years. This includes the shipping and assistance with racking of Juniper PTX and MX routers, move of our complete Lab setup from one office to the next, and many others.

His professional and flexible approach to all of these projects has been an invaluable asset to get the work done! 

We will certainly keep going back to Andy for future projects and highly recommend Andy and his team!
