Data Centre Specialist Services

Ace IT Relocation provides end-to-end data centre solutions, combining relocation, build, and managed services. From auditing live environments to migrating infrastructure across the UK and Europe, we deliver secure, fully insured projects that protect uptime and compliance at every stage.

Our relocations are carried out with tamper-evident packaging, GPS-tracked vehicles, and security-cleared engineers. By applying split-load risk reduction and full chain-of-custody protocols, we minimise downtime and ensure every asset arrives safely and ready for re-installation.

Fully Insured Secure Service

£10M Employers and £5M Public Liability Insurance in place, ensuring complete protection for staff, clients, and third parties during projects.

£250K+ Goods in Transit

Each vehicle insured for £250,000+, with the option to increase limits for high-value relocations. Optional GPS-tracking and security seals or padlocks.

Downtime Risk Reductions

By splitting racks across multiple vehicles, provisioning standby/rollback teams and running pre-cabling, we reduce downtime risk on critical moves.

Project Compliance Reporting

Every relocation is backed by certified audits, asset tagging, and QR labelling, giving a complete and verifiable audit trail.

On-Time Project Delivery

Proven track record of delivering complex data centre and office relocations on time and within scope, across the UK and Europe.

Beyond physical moves, our engineers deliver structured cabling, containment, power distribution, and cabinet works. We also provide Smart Hands and Remote Hands support for device upgrades, part replacements, and monitoring, helping clients extend the life of their existing estate while reducing risk.

Every project is underpinned by certified audits, asset tagging, and QR labelling, producing a clear and verifiable audit trail. With sustainability and efficiency in mind, we help clients optimise power usage, reduce waste, and meet UK and international compliance standards.

“Well, if I can define in one word this work is “professional”. It Is amazing to see your guys labelling and inventorying everything with no fails. To see you moving everything quickly and without any hardware problems. To see after the movement that all the caballing is completely correct. Next time, if we can work with you again, I don’t think that I will need to be there because I can trust all the work on you, giving you the full info before the movement. So, from my side, I just want to say “Good job!”, I hope to work with you more times in the future.”

Frequently Asked Data Centre Specialist Services Questions:

Our Data Centre Specialist Services are designed for mission-critical environments where uptime, compliance, and precision are non-negotiable. From single populated rack moves to multi-site migrations, every project is planned, audited, and executed with certified processes and insured logistics.

We go far beyond transport — each service covers cabling, pre-build preparation, risk-controlled relocations, compliance audits, and post-move verification testing. With dedicated project managers, specialist engineers, and tamper-evident chain-of-custody, we ensure your infrastructure transitions smoothly, securely, and with minimal downtime.

We cover the full range of data centre relocations, including:

  • Turnkey migrations – from planning and pre-cabling through to recommissioning.

  • Populated rack moves – safely transporting fully built racks without de-racking.

  • Live environment IT audits – mapping dependencies, cabling, and risks before the move.

  • Colocation transitions – migrating between providers or facilities.

Each scope is backed by detailed site surveys, rack diagrams, and contingency planning, ensuring every device is tracked and protected from start to finish.

Yes — with careful planning and phased execution. For critical systems, we coordinate migrations around maintenance windows, replicate workloads where possible, and work in tandem with your support partners.

In financial services, for example, we often perform rack moves overnight after market close. Systems are patched, powered, and tested by morning, ensuring zero impact to business-critical operations.

Populated rack moves require a different approach to de-racking. We use:

  • Rack sacks & anti-static protection.

  • Anti-static padding and straps to secure equipment in-rack.

  • Air-ride vehicles to reduce vibration.

  • Split-load distribution across multiple vehicles to minimise risk.

  • Tamper-evident seals and GPS-tracked logistics.

This ensures racks arrive at the destination in exactly the same condition they left — fully cabled, secure, and ready to power up.

Absolutely. Every migration is led by a dedicated project manager who works as an extension of your internal team. They handle scheduling, change management approvals, RAMS (Risk Assessment & Method Statements), and act as a single point of contact throughout the project.

Project managers also coordinate with colocation providers, building management, and client IT/security teams. This ensures no detail is overlooked, from access permissions to contingency planning.

We don’t just relocate — we rebuild and verify the environment. Typical build services include:

  • Cabinet installation and relocation.

  • Structured cabling (fibre and copper termination).

  • Containment systems: tray, basket, and trunking.

  • Power distribution and PDU installation.

  • Raised floor tile cutting and underfloor cabling.

  • Connectivity and port testing before handover.

This allows your racks to be fully operational the moment they are powered up at the destination site.

Compliance is central to our process. Every relocation includes certified audits, asset tagging, QR labelling, and documented test results. We align with international standards principles, GDPR data handling rules, and WEEE for disposals.

At project close, clients receive:

  • Asset audit reports with serial numbers and conditions.

  • Cable schedules and rack elevation diagrams.

  • Certificates of secure transport and chain-of-custody logs.

This creates a full audit trail, ensuring your organisation remains compliant long after the migration.

Yes — all projects are fully insured and risk-mitigated. Cover includes:

  • £10M Employers’ Liability Insurance

  • £5M Public Liability Insurance

  • £1M Professional Indemnity Insurance

  • £250k+ per vehicle Goods-in-Transit cover

We also reduce risk operationally by splitting critical racks across vehicles, staging failover infrastructure, and ensuring rollback plans are in place before beginning any move.

Yes. Many data centre relocations involve decommissioning redundant devices. We provide secure ITAD, including certified wiping of data-bearing assets, physical drive shredding where required, and environmentally compliant recycling.

This avoids unnecessary transport costs, reduces rack footprint at the new site, and ensures full compliance with data protection laws. Certificates of destruction are provided for audit and regulatory purposes.
