The Pleasant Ridge-based data center provider Liberty Center One Wednesday announced free consultation related to data center and server migration.
The company said many businesses are re-examining thier data storage and management strategies, due to everything from outdated infrastructure to inefficient legacy systems to an escalating cost of operations.
When the decision is made to move to a new infrastructure, IT staffs often find their most daunting challenge can be understanding how to migrate from the old environment to a new environment without disrupting operations and losing critical data.
Liberty has gained experience in successfully migrating customers by performing hundreds of migrations from data centers across the United States. Their proprietary information includes topics such as:
* Reasons to Relocate Your Servers or Data Center
* Developing the Specs
* Choosing a Data Center
* Key Steps in Migration
* Do-it-Yourself vs. Do-It-For-Me
"Our focus on providing 100 percent uptime extends to our expertise in data migration," said Tim Mullahy, Liberty Center One general manager. "We understand the pressure on IT staffs to perform data migrations without interrupting normal operations and with no loss of information in the process. Through the process of performing hundreds of migrations over the past 18 months, we've created an expertise in making data migration easy."
One of Liberty's recent successes was the migration of a social networking portal from San Jose, Calif. to the Michigan data center.
"Our servers were in a California data center for years but we were facing a 25 percent price increase and needed a more modern solution," said Howard Brown, CEO of PlanitJewish.com, a global social networking community. "Moving to Liberty Center One helped us keep our hosting costs contained and their migration of our systems from California to Michigan went flawlessly with no downtime. We are pleased to have our systems and servers in a disaster-free location in a state-of-the-art data center plus we will save tens of thousands of dollars on our IT over the coming years thanks to Liberty Center One."
Added Pat Turner, CTO of Liberty Center One: "The PlanitJewish.com migration presented some unique challenges but, with prior planning and use of our insights, we were able to achieve their objectives of moving their environment while not leaving their community out of touch."
"Our customers have thrown some interesting challenges our way this year, and we're happy to say that many of them have come from out of state," said Rex Smith, Liberty Center One president and CEO. "We've moved clients from Florida, Texas, Nevada, California, Virginia and Canada with as few as a single u server to multiple racks of servers. Michigan is a great environment for data centers as we have few if any natural disasters and an abundance of IT talent. We are pleased to do our part as a magnet for high-tech business to move to our state."
