I am looking at a job now on relocating a datacentre to another location. They includes all the typical IBM RS/6000, CPQ, Cisco Network, Sun servers etc.
I would very much appreciate if there is anyone out there having a template for my reference on the methodology, approach, tasks etc. Saving Changes...

Each of the following phases must be initiated, planned, executed, controlled, and closed.
Phase 1: Discovery - A comprehensive review of the overall solution functionality and business purpose. - An equipment inventory. - A technical review of the networking configuration design, technical system architecture, application(s) configurations and data model & flow design. - To conclude with an analysis of the target location, configuration and support framework in order to validate the capability of the target system/environment for supporting your processing requirements.
Phase 2: Migration - task-by-task process of the physical and/or logical migration - may include the physical relocation of assets to new facilities, or may simply be limited to a logical migration of software, code and data assets.
Phase 3: Testing - testing and burn-in of the new service environment. - Each individual element of the solution is tested to ensure proper functioning during initial configuration. - Testing concludes with a Pilot Test Deployment, which serves to validate the interoperability processing of the entire solution against requirements, for both technical and operations elements.
Phase 4: Deployment - once all unit and system testing is satisfactorily concluded, the solution is deployed into production in accordance with the project schedule, and the transition back to management occurs. - Deployment is concluded upon completion of user acceptance testing (UAT). - followed up with a post mortem review, lessons learned.
