Equipment Inventory
Part of the planning for the migration involved creating a detailed inventory of equipment. The
Libraries already had a server inventory, but the information collected for the migration went far
beyond just a list of the servers. This helped us identify who was responsible for physical and
virtual servers and who was responsible for the services and applications that ran on those
servers. Creating the equipment inventory also allowed us to consolidate and decommission
equipment that was no longer needed, and additionally helped us determine a prioritization and
time line for the move.
