Here are some pictures from the move showing our old and new Data Center, our servers, and some of our sysadmins.
All in all the process involved around 2 weeks of planning, 10 people, 3 cars, a few hundred feet of cable, 10 hours of deracking, driving, and installing, and a week cleaning up afterwards.
It’s good to know that Perdita, Pongo, Patch, Penny, Pepper, Taishi, Rambo, Takara, Tinkerbell, Chernushka, Strelka, Bars, Pink, Oscar, Fenris, Greyhound, Odie, Marmaduke, and Sirius are all running smoothly in their new pound!
All is good in Runbox land 🙂
All systems are go!

Installing in the new, shiny racks in the new Data Center.
Full power and network redundancy, and top notch fire prevention systems.
Unloading in the basement after 6 security doors
Unpacking
So far so good!

Things were a bit complicated at the old data center.
