Request a no-obligation proposal. # ETI Simulation: server room moved in a single weekend At a glance For decision-makers short on time. - 01 Nine certified technicians moved the server room in a single weekend. - 02 6000 m of certified CAT6, 180 m of fibre, 108 points and three new racks. - 03 Zero downtime: the team returned on Monday to a brand-new network. ### In this article **Moving a server room usually means stopping the business. DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting** relocated the server room of **ETI Simulation & Engineering Solutions** and renewed the office's entire network infrastructure in a single weekend. The project combined 6000 metres of certified CAT6 structured cabling, 180 metres of fibre optics, 108 network points and three new racks, without any interruption to the company's operations. ## The project in numbers | Indicator | Value | | --- | --- | | CAT6 Gigabit cabling | 6000 metres | | Fibre optics | 180 metres | | Network points | 108 | | Racks | 3 (2 for communications, 1 for servers) | | Interconnected rooms | 3 | | Team | 9 technicians certified in networking, fibre optics and datacentre | | Execution window | From 5 pm on Friday to the end of the weekend | | Downtime | Zero | ## Why move the server room The old location limited the network's growth and reliability. The new room was chosen to provide: - **Cooling and security** Better physical conditions for the equipment. - **Room to grow** Capacity for future expansion. - **Redundancy** A more reliable and resilient network. - **Interconnection** Efficient communication between three separate rooms. Moving the room meant rebuilding the infrastructure: the old cabling was replaced entirely and the floor boxes swapped for higher-capacity models. ## How the network infrastructure was built ### Structured cabling - **6000 metres of CAT6 Gigabit** Complete replacement of the existing cabling. - **108 network points** Distributed throughout the office. - **Floor boxes** Reorganised and replaced with higher-capacity models. - **Identification** Professional labelling and organisation of the entire network. - **Connection to the new room** Cable runs to the new server room and integration of all existing workstations. ### Fibre optics and racks - **180 metres of fibre optics**: high performance, connected to the switches and racks. - **Three racks**: two for communications and one dedicated to servers, prepared, assembled and interconnected. ### Certification - **Full certification** Of the CAT6 Gigabit cabling. - **Performance tests** And validation of the infrastructure. - **Technical reports** Delivered to the client. ## One weekend instead of days of downtime To avoid affecting ETI's operations, DataRoad reinforced the team with nine certified technicians. Work started at 5 pm on Friday, continued throughout the weekend and finished within the deadline the client set. On Monday, the ETI team walked into an office with a new network and servers in the new room, without having lost an hour of work. In a server room migration, planning is worth as much as execution: knowing what connects to what before unplugging the first cable is what makes zero downtime possible. ## What ETI gained - **A faster, more stable network** Gigabit throughout the office. - **Room to grow** Racks and floor boxes with spare capacity. - **Professional datacentre infrastructure** A dedicated, well-organised server room. - **Better internal communications** Fibre between rooms and certified cabling. - **Greater resilience and security** A documented network ready for the future. DataRoad continues to support ETI as its network evolves and keeps its IT infrastructure running smoothly. We thank ETI Simulation & Engineering Solutions for its trust in our network installation, technical consultancy, infrastructure, datacentre and fibre-optic services. ## Which other projects can you read about? - [LX Arch Hotel: network, Wi-Fi 7, firewall and video surveillance](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/lx-arch-hotel-guest-wifi-7-firewall-cctv/) - [UpHill Health: network, Wi-Fi 6, firewall and biometrics in Lisbon](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/uphill-health-lisbon-office-network/) - [ReStream: network for the new office in Portugal and IT Unlimited](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/restream-cascais-wifi-6-starlink-network/) - [Magnelusa: IT Unlimited permanent management contract](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/magnelusa-managed-network-servers-firewall/) More work in [projects and client cases](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/case-studies/) and in [DataRoad news](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/news/).
