IT Asset Relocation

Overview

Our client is one of India’s oldest and leading urban co-operative banks, established over a century ago. With nearly 200 branches spread across 11 states, the bank provides a comprehensive range of financial services, including deposits, loans, forex, and digital banking.

Challenge

The bank’s existing workspace faced space constraints for its expanding data center infrastructure. To overcome this, the bank planned to relocate its data center to a larger facility. The relocation involved over 250+ IT assets, including servers, racks, storage systems, routers, switches, and firewalls.

The primary challenges included:

Ensuring business continuity during relocation.
Achieving minimal downtime for critical operations.
Preventing any damage or data loss during transit.

Solution & Execution

Our team executed the relocation in three carefully planned phases: critical, non-critical, and medium-critical assets, ensuring systematic handling and smooth transition.

Key steps included:

Tagging & Documentation: All equipment was tagged, grouped, and documented with detailed port tracing for error-free reinstallation.
Safe Dismantling & Packing: Servers and networking devices were carefully dismantled and packed using protective materials like bubble wrap, thermocol, and cartons.
Secure Transit: Specialized double suspension trucks were used to safeguard sensitive equipment from shocks and vibrations during transport.
Precise Reinstallation: Assets were remounted as per the bank’s rack elevation plan, with cabling connected to their designated ports.
Phase-Wise Execution: The staggered approach minimized downtime, ensuring seamless business continuity throughout the migration process.

Outcome

The data center relocation was completed successfully without any equipment damage or data loss. The client benefited from:

A well-organized IT setup in their new data center.
Zero disruption to banking operations during the transition.
An infrastructure aligned to support future growth and scalability.
