# Data Center Migration Support

> On-site field support for data center migrations in Michigan — disconnection, transport coordination, reinstallation, and documentation at both ends.

Local hands at the Michigan end of your migration.

Migrations need coordinated physical work at the source and destination — disconnecting and staging equipment, coordinating transport, and reinstalling and documenting at the new location. We provide the Michigan-based field execution, working alongside your migration project lead.

## When you need this

- You're consolidating, relocating, or migrating into or out of a Michigan facility.
- Your migration project lead is remote and needs local hands to execute the physical steps.
- Equipment needs to be carefully disconnected, labeled, and reinstalled in the same configuration at a new location.
- You need documentation of exactly what moved, when, and how it was reconnected.

## What's included

### Pre-migration documentation

Full documentation of the current state before anything moves, so reinstallation matches the original configuration.

### Disconnection & staging

Equipment carefully disconnected, labeled, and staged for transport.

### Transport coordination

Coordination with your chosen logistics or transport provider — we don't own the trucks, but we manage the handoff.

### Reinstallation at destination

Equipment reinstalled and reconnected at the new location, matched against pre-migration documentation.

### Testing & verification

Post-migration testing to confirm equipment is powered, connected, and functioning as expected.

### Before/after documentation

Complete documentation package showing the state before and after the migration.

## How it works

1. **Pre-migration planning** — We document the current state and align on a migration plan and timeline with your project lead.
2. **Disconnect & stage** — Equipment is carefully disconnected, labeled, and staged for transport, following the migration plan.
3. **Coordinate transport** — We coordinate hand-off to your logistics/transport provider, or your team's own transport plan.
4. **Reinstall & verify** — At the destination (or on return), equipment is reinstalled, reconnected, and tested against the original documentation.

## Who this is for

- Companies migrating equipment into or out of a Michigan facility
- Data center operators consolidating multiple locations
- Colocation tenants relocating within or between Michigan facilities
- Remote migration project leads who need local execution support

## Frequently asked questions

### Do you provide the transport/trucking?

No — we coordinate with your chosen logistics or transport provider (or can recommend options) for the physical transport, and handle the technical disconnection, staging, reinstallation, and documentation on both ends.

### Can you manage the whole migration project, or just the Michigan-side field work?

Our core strength is Michigan-based field execution. For a single-facility migration within Michigan, we can manage the full physical process end to end. For a larger multi-site migration, we typically work as the local execution arm alongside your migration project lead.

### How do you make sure equipment gets reconnected correctly?

Every migration starts with full pre-migration documentation — photos, cable schedules, and configuration notes — so reinstallation is matched against a clear record rather than memory.
