Server Refresh & Migration

Retire Old Iron Without the Risk

When your servers hit end-of-life, we move you onto hardware or cloud that's actually supported — with migration planned, tested and verified so nothing is lost and nobody feels it.

THE PROBLEM

EOL hardware is a ticking clock

Once a server is end-of-life, firmware patches stop, spare parts dry up and compliance frameworks start asking awkward questions. Running EOL hardware isn't cheap — it's a bet. We plan and execute the move before the hardware forces it on you.

EOL Exit Planning

R730s, DL380 Gen9s and older — we identify what's past or nearing end-of-life and build your exit roadmap.

Physical-to-Cloud

Move workloads to Azure, AWS or UK cloud — sized, costed and security-baselined before we touch anything.

New Hardware Migration

From one PowerEdge or ProLiant generation to the next — migrate the data, the services and the config, not the problems.

Verified Data Migration

Every database, mailbox and file store copied and verified with checksums and test restores before switchover.

Minimised Downtime

We stage the migration in parallel and cut over in a maintenance window measured in minutes — not weekends.

Responsible Decommissioning

The old kit is certified-wiped, recycled or traded in — closing the loop with our disposal service.

HOW IT WORKS

A migration you can schedule around

1

Discover & document

We map every workload, dependency and data store, and flag anything that won't move cleanly.

2

Design & cost the target

Refreshed hardware or cloud — sized, priced and security-baselined, with a rollback plan agreed.

3

Migrate & test

Data moved and verified, services rehearsed in staging, then cut over in an agreed window.

4

Verify & decommission

Post-migration checks run for a set period, then the old hardware is wiped and disposed of or traded in.

Not ready to migrate yet?

If you need to keep EOL hardware running a while longer, our post-warranty maintenance keeps it covered in the meantime.

WHY SERVEREXPERTE

One team for the whole lifecycle

We buy AND sell the kit

Source the replacement from us, migrate with us, then sell the old hardware back — one relationship.

Security built in

Every migration gets baseline hardening and the same SOC monitoring your other systems enjoy.

No abandoned data

Old storage is certified-wiped and disposed of — never left on a forgotten shelf.
