When it’s time to update servers, relocate a data center, or expand the current footprint of your data center, you’re faced with a huge task.  While it is certainly not impossible to manage the process internally, installing heavy, awkward, and expensive enterprise servers is a big job.OceanTech is a Minnesota Data Center Installation company with the technical expertise and muscle to get the job done (and take the pressure off your staff).  While it may cost a little more to use a professional data center installation company, the risks of trying to “do it yourself” far outweigh the service fees most companies charge.  You are bound to lose less sleep and complete the job faster when you work with a company with experience managing the process.An internal project manager is a key to ensuring that your data center installation company has a point of contact.  The project manager will manage timelines and make sure company personnel are informed of their roles, as well as of any downtime they can expect.  Your data center installation company will handle all the details, and they’ll work with your project manager on scheduling and planning.During a data center installation or refresh, documentation is critical.  OceanTech will manage this process in conjunction with your project manager, and if your company is interested in recycling the retired or decommissioned servers, OceanTech can handle that process too, removing the equipment to a secure facility where all hard drives are erased and documentation is prepared to ensure complete data security.One major benefit for Minnesota companies that choose to use a data center installation company like OceanTech is the ability to recoup some of the expense of the decommissioned servers.  OceanTech purchases servers from its clients, destroys all data, refurbishes or fixes the equipment, and then resells them to companies that are looking for quality used equipment.For assistance with your Minnesota data center installation project, contact OceanTech at 612 331 4456.
