Data Center Relocations
 VDR is especially well suited to Data Center relocation projects due to its ability to unobtrusively collect data for relocation and support non-destructive testing of your relocation strategy. If necessary, VDR can provide a failsafe, fall back capability to normal production processes should the relocation process be interrupted for any reason. When appropriate the relocation process can be restarted and resume capturing all data that has been changed since the original process was interrupted, The entire relocation process is transparent to normal production processes and transparent to Applications.

1For all migration services, OpenTech Systems will make a best effort to migrate all datasets. However, there may be some tape datasets that will need to be migrated by customer because these customer applications use a database to track tape files, have specific Volser identified in the JCL, or are unsupported vendor applications. Final determination of potential migration concerns will be addressed in the TMC database review and statement of work.
