[AusNOG] Hardware Relocation Specialists

[Skeeve Stevens]

Hilarious boss.

In Sydney I know some people who make good money by doing IT relocations of
just desktops and printers, etc... because normal removalists shouldn't be
touching that sort of thing.

But kit in racks?  The only people who should be relocating that are
network engineers.

If you were moving between DC's and such you'd use specialists with trucks
designed so they don't bounce a lot.

But inside a DC, there is still the same amount of planning of cabling,
optics, power, configuations, etc.

By all means, get a third party to do it, but make sure they know their
stuff.
