Full Migration Project Services

TDS has nearly two decades of experience in data center migrations, consolidations, and relocations across every industry. We built TransitionManager because we quickly learned that spreadsheets are insufficient for managing today’s complex IT projects. TransitionManager automates data ingestion from multiple sources and consolidates an aggregated and normalized data set into a single repository, so you have only the relevant data for your project, without the noise.

We validate the data with your SMEs and incorporate business facts with each asset. With a visual, interactive, app-centric map the team will quickly identify application dependencies across hosting sites and technology stacks.  Automated runbooks then generate the precise sequence of both human and automated tasks, so everything is executed exactly when it should be. Teams can practice migration events using TransitionManager’s task management features, and make modifications up until the last minute. Then, when it’s time to move your data center, interactive graphs provide real-time task management so teams can track progress and respond to bottlenecks immediately.

Customized Data Center Migration Projects and Enablement

Most IT organizations do not have the resources, experience, or time required to plan, manage, and execute complete end-to-end data center migrations, but may want to participate in these projects to fit budget demands, develop their own expertise, or create a better understanding of their environment. Whatever level of support you need, TDS will build a data center migration project to meet your needs. Many of our customers create Disaster Recovery or failover test plans when planning a migration because so much of the foundational work for the project will have been completed.
