The challenge
Relocating Critical Infrastructure Without Operational Disruption
The constraint: 220+ devices, international route, cable-level documentation, sensitive infrastructure handling
The project involved transporting more than 220 critical devices across an international route while maintaining the integrity and functionality of each device throughout the relocation. Moving between DXC in Grenoble and Equinix in Paris meant that every device had to survive not just physical transport but the full sequence of decommissioning, transit, and reinstallation without loss of functionality — a standard that left little room for improvisation at scale.
The relocation also required accurate documentation of cable connections and careful handling of sensitive infrastructure during decommissioning, transportation and reinstallation, since any gap in that documentation risked delays or errors when devices needed to be reconnected correctly at the destination. With client operations depending on the infrastructure being moved, the project had to be sequenced in a way that protected continuity throughout rather than treating the relocation as a single disruptive event. The organization needed a delivery partner capable of managing a 220+ device international relocation with full documentation discipline and zero disruption to client operations.
