In past, I was in touch with people working in datacenters and they moved
several companies from one datacenter to another one.
They claimed that during this transport there was non trivial number of servers which did
not survive the shipping.
I do not recall the number. It may be worth to ask some people who done
similar migration in past and get those numbers. IIRC it was "small percent"
(~1-2%).
And get pre-approved CAPEX for that. And some spare server as temporary replacement if
something crucial dies.
An excellent idea, we will definitely do that.
I imagine we need to make sure that stuff is warenteed to it's value, so
if it breaks in shipping we can replace it. Or have some plan for this.
Thanks for the good feedback!
