Data Centre Relocation in Edinburgh
Moving a Edinburgh organisation's estate to a new facility, where the difficulty is dependency rather than distance. Systems have accumulated connections nobody documented, and the order things come back up in matters — a database that starts after the application depending on it produces a morning of failures with no obvious cause.
Why this comes up
The problem
The plan lists the servers and nobody can say which ones have to be running before the others start.
What you get
What we deliver
- Dependencies mapped from live traffic, not from what the documentation claims
- A start-up order established and rehearsed rather than worked out on the night
- Circuits and connectivity ordered early, since lead times exceed the project plan
- Physical logistics arranged properly — insurance, transport, handling, access windows
- A rollback point defined for each phase, with the criteria for using it agreed
- Decommissioning handled at the old site, including data destruction evidence

Data Centre Relocation in Edinburgh — common questions
- How are dependencies actually found?
- By watching the network. Connection mapping over a representative period shows what talks to what, including the integrations built years ago by people who have left — which is consistently more accurate than any diagram the organisation currently holds.
- Why do circuits drive the timeline?
- Because they cannot be accelerated. New connectivity at a facility can take months where civil works are involved, and a relocation plan built around equipment logistics will sit waiting for a line — so ordering is the first task rather than a later one.
- What is the risk in the physical move?
- Less than people fear, and it is not zero. Equipment that has run undisturbed for years sometimes does not restart after being moved, particularly older disks, so the plan needs to assume some failures and have the backups verified before anything is unracked.
- When is the old site finished with?
- Later than the move date. Equipment stays in place until the new environment has proven itself over a period, decommissioning includes secure disposal with evidence, and contracts for space and power run until formally ended — none of which happens automatically.
- Do you work with businesses across City of Edinburgh?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Edinburgh and the surrounding City of Edinburgh area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Edinburgh businesses do you usually work with?
- Financial services and data-led work, plus seasonal systems that have to absorb enormous August load without falling over. Beyond that we work across Financial Services, Technology, Tourism, Higher Education and Data Science.
- Do you cover the areas around Edinburgh?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Glasgow. Edinburgh is an urban area of roughly 540,000+, and we take on work across the wider City of Edinburgh region rather than the city boundary alone.
