Executive Overview

Align's Current State Assessment

The most important stage to any migration strategy—because understanding where you are gets you where you need to be. 

Dwayne Wilson, Vice President, Data Center Operations, Salesforce

“Align has been designing and overseeing all of our data center capacity increases for the past 7 years. Our capacity increase of over 100Mw has gone seamlessly due to Align’s knowledge of power and cable plants and their detailed construction documents that leave no margin of error.”

Verizon, Data Center Migration

“When we sold one of our data center facilities, we only had four months to migrate over 1,200 devices to our new location before our lease expired. The Align team expedited the migration and decommissioning processes to get us out of our old facility right on time with extremely minimal downtime.”
