Datacenters are among the most complex and technologically advanced entities on the planet, with very complex systems, architecture, and network intricacies. What is a datacenter? Datacenters are dense concentrations of compute, storage, and network resources housed in a facility that provides resilient environmental, power, and network redundancy. Datacenters can be privately owned and managed, or they can be publicly owned with many privately managed “pods” of computer/server/network resources that are sold to various organizations. With all of the complexities involved with datacenter resources, there may be reasons that an organization decides to migrate from one datacenter to another datacenter. What are reasons for datacenter migration? What complexities and challenges are involved with doing this? What planning needs to happen beforehand? What needs to be documented? Is there a checklist that we can use to perform the datacenter migration successfully?
