[AusNOG] Bulk Movement of Sensitive Computer Equipment

[Michael RISBY]

Should of specified with the tailgate lift.

 

You would be surprised at how many people don't specify it and are then
stuck with no way of getting the hardware off the back of the truck.

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
