Rack Moves

We have the van, flight cases, expertise and optional insurance to move your racks to our ARK data centre.

This year we have moved some sixty racks to the Datanet at ARK Data Centre using a combination of our own van, flight cases and staff for smaller one and two rack moves or together with our partners Sunspeed for the larger multi rack moves.
