Network and datacenter migration: The art of unplugging things without crying - (Episode 176)

Network and datacenter migrations look straightforward on architecture diagrams—until someone has to disconnect the first cable. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the controlled chaos of relocating infrastructure, redesigning power, untangling years of creative cabling, and somehow keeping the business online while everything underneath it changes. From redundant power feeds and network cutovers to unexpected surprises hiding in server racks, we share real-world stories, lessons learned, spectacular near misses, and the occasional questionable decision that somehow worked. Whether you're planning a migration or simply enjoy hearing about large-scale IT projects flirting with disaster, join us for a technical, honest, and humorous look at the art of unplugging things without crying.
