Dutch Hosters Relocate to Redbus: Page 3 of 3

TrueServer’s Houwert admits the project is a “headache.” However, he adds, the move, due to take place between May and November, is being planned with military precision. “We started planning this whole situation four months ago, and it will take another month before we present our plans to our customers.”

“We’re experienced in migration projects,” says Kroon from IS. "Last year we became one of the first major Web hosting providers to move all our servers to Windows Server 2003." The whole IS kit will need to be moved about 10 miles to its new site.

Both firms are confident that the migration can be achieved with the minimum of disruption to customers. Houwert adds: “We already have a network at Redbus and we will move rack by rack and customer by customer.”
