Data Center Decommissioning Project Plan



Removing something from the business is a type of decommissioning. Advanced systems have decommissioning actions that must be followed to assist in the shutdown process. Data centers use a collection of equipment and support systems to operate. It is impossible to decommission a data center without a procedure. A properly created procedure ensures smooth transitioning of the system. The decommissioning project plan is tailored to the needs of each system.
Data Center Decommissioning may go on for a number of reasons such as
  • Replacing IT equipment that has run its lifecycle
  • Modernizing infrastructure to improve efficiency
  • Migrating to a new data center or co-location space
  • Consolidating data center spaces
