Accelerate your data center migrations and consolidations.
Data center migrations are high-risk projects where there is no room for error. Data is stored across disparate sources, making it difficult for IT teams to understand application dependencies across hybrid environments. How can you figure out what needs to move together? How can you be confident that you won’t bring business systems down? It’s critical to have the insight into your environment so you can visually map applications and their dependencies and plan the most effective, secure migration process.
Let us help you get there faster.
Effectively. Efficiently. Flawlessly.

Full Data Center Migration Project Services
TDS has nearly two decades of experience in data center migrations, consolidations, and relocations across every industry. We built TransitionManager because we quickly learned that spreadsheets are insufficient for managing today’s complex IT projects. TransitionManager automates data ingestion from multiple sources and consolidates an aggregated and normalized data set into a single repository, so you have only the relevant data for your project, without the noise.
We validate the data with your SMEs and incorporate business facts with each asset. With a visual, interactive, app-centric map the team will quickly identify application dependencies across hosting sites and technology stacks. Automated runbooks then generate the precise sequence of both human and automated tasks, so everything is executed exactly when it should be. Teams can practice migration events using TransitionManager’s task management features, and make modifications up until the last minute. Then, when it’s time to move your data center, interactive graphs provide real-time task management so teams can track progress and respond to bottlenecks immediately.
Application Roadmapping for Data Center Migrations
IT environments are highly dynamic and it is difficult to track changes, yet app data is distributed across different systems of record, and most IT teams lack insight into app dependencies because they don’t know which system has the most accurate and current data. Or, which data points and dependencies are important and which are just noise. Teams are afraid of moving anything because they don’t know what could break. TDS’s TransitionManager solves this problem by creating an actionable set of data, and provides IT with a visual, app-centric view of complex, hybrid environments. Working with your team, we will incorporate critical business facts, identify gaps and conflicts across assets and business requirements, and provide a preliminary assessment and event plan for your data center migration project.

Customized Data Center Migration Projects and Enablement
Most IT organizations do not have the resources, experience, or time required to plan, manage, and execute complete end-to-end data center migrations, but may want to participate in these projects to fit budget demands, develop their own expertise, or create a better understanding of their environment. Whatever level of support you need, TDS will build a data center migration project to meet your needs. Many of our customers create Disaster Recovery or failover test plans when planning a migration because so much of the foundational work for the project will have been completed.
