[AusNOG] Bulk Movement of Sensitive Computer Equipment

[Daniel Hooper]

Yep.. those tailgates are handy things, they generally stop items rolling out the back of the truck..

I would recommend COPE or Computer Trans.

Would also recommend that the trucks have airbag suspension as well as a tailgate.

Computer trans is good in the way that they deliver all their goods on trolleys which makes it easy for all of your equipment that is loose to be transported from a loading dock to wherever you need them to go. COPE is good in the way which they lay out ply wood to reinforce the raised floor for the larger HDD arrays which are around or above the weight of 1000kg's.

End decision will be yours based upon the quotation received which is why I'm assuming that you are asking for opinions of others.

Best of luck.

I've used both COPE and Hi-Tech extensively for everything from single servers to entire corporate datacenters.

We did have one glitch with COPE on a new system delivery (if you can call dropping and destroying a million dollar server a "glitch"), but their relocation people have been very good every time I've worked with them.

If you're moving systems in racks I would strongly recommend making sure that they use "air-ride" suspension trucks.  Most of the COPE trucks are, but not all of the Hi-Tech ones are.

All,



We have a client moving multiple racks of IBM kit into another Data Centre.

The Client intends on moving equipment in rack with insurance also.



We have received various quotes back with vastly different costs.



I was curious on any recommendations out there on who people use and any feedback.



Thanks
