Laurus Technologies Systems Integration expert Irwin Teodoro was recently quoted in Processor Magazine in a feature article on avoiding mishaps during data center relocation projects. According to Teodoro:
“Moving a data center is a major project in and of itself. It is not the time to virtualize the computing environment, incorporate a new tiered storage philosophy, or move to virtualized desktop”
The article goes on to provide several additional tips, including:
Data center moves impact data as well as hardware, so ensure that your relocation plans focus strongly on data integrity
Don’t lump a relocation into another project, and don’t take on a complex move with-out proper help.
Proactively communicate with the widest possible audience to minimize the potential for confusion and loss of productivity

Yesterday I had the pleasure to speak before the Business Resumption Planners Association.
Established in 1989, the Business Resumption Planners Association (BRPA) is an independent professional association of people employed in all aspects of disaster recovery, contingency and business continuity planning. The members of BRPA are a mix of IT, risk management, operations, and disaster recovery professionals.
Laurus Technologies’ interest in
Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity (DR/BC) focuses on helping IT organizations leverage technology to achieve strategic DR or BC business goals.
Yesterday’s presentation was to deliver Laurus Technologies vision of “IT-Centric Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity”. If you’re intrested in what we presented, see the slide deck:
The premise of IT-Centric DR/BC is that while many organizations place the disaster recovery responsiblity on the IT deparment, a successful program requires IT to reach out to every line-of-business organziation and address the overall business needs.
