Our team has led architecture and migration planning for major data-centre moves while replacing end-of-life infrastructure, reducing geographic concentration risk, and strengthening recovery capability.

Project challenge

Move critical infrastructure to a new data-centre location while replacing aging platforms and avoiding a simple lift-and-shift of existing risk.

Delivery

  • The team defined the target data-centre architecture, migration strategy, equipment requirements, dependencies, and implementation sequence.
  • The team evaluated compute, storage, core networking, firewall, backup, and connectivity requirements with multiple technology vendors.
  • The team designed dedicated backup, vault, and isolated recovery zones as part of the target state rather than as a later add-on.
  • The team built migration and risk plans around lifecycle, geographic redundancy, recovery, change management, and business continuity.

Outcome

A modernization program that combined relocation, lifecycle renewal, geographic risk reduction, and cyber-recovery improvements in one target architecture.
