                                                               Data Center Relocation Project




1 Introduction
1.1 Purpose of this document
This document describes the process for establishing and managing the Data Center
Relocation Project, the roles of the various team members and the required outcomes of
the Project. It serves as a common reference point to guide the work of the DCR Project
team members and the roles of stakeholders in the project.

This Project Management Plan (PMP) covers all work to be undertaken by the Data
Center Relocation Project between January 2009 and MM CCYY.

When the Project Sponsor has approved this (PMP- v1.x) it will be base-lined and any
changes will be managed according to the described Change Control procedures.
Approved changes will be reflected in subsequent versions of this document.

1.2 Project background
ITS operations and staff will be relocating primary Data Center assets to a newly designed
space within the facilities of MCNC.

The relocation brings with it a number of logistical challenges as it will see the movement
of systems and equipment from the existing Data Center on the main campus of UNC
Charlotte to MCNC in RTP, NC.

The new Data Center fit out is to meet the requirements defined in the Data Center
Architecture and Design document prepared by ITS and Cisco Consulting.

1.3 Project Objectives and Scope
1.3.1   Objectives
The Data Center Relocation Project objective is to:
   Relocate select Data Center functions and assets to MCNC with minimal disruption to
   University operations. Project planning and scheduling will be used to ensure that the
   relocation of equipment and systems is undertaken in a predetermined order that will
   minimize service downtime and impacts on University operations.
   In order to prepare for future relocation initiatives, project planning and management
   will document all processes, activities and assets.

1.3.2   Project Scope
The project Scope Document lists all In-Scope items which must be addressed for project
success. The Out of Scope activities listed in the Scope Documents are activities which
are related to this project but are not the direct responsibility of the Data Center Project
team or Advisory Committee.



1.4 Funding
Funding of $x,xxx,xxx has been approved for this project. For further details see the
Project Budget (Section 3).

                                                               Data Center Relocation Project




1.5 Assumptions
The following assumptions exist regarding the completion and delivery of any particular
activity or deliverable of the project:

      This project plan defines the scope of the project;
      Current funding of $x,xxx,xxx will cover the costs of the move.

1.6 Constraints
Listed below are items that constrain the project, delivery or resources:

      A moratorium window to be identified for test shutdowns and relocations
      Backup of systems before a test or move occurs
      Stable environment conditions ( power and cooling) are provided within the Data
       Center at least x weeks before first application moves
      An Application Operation Plan is required for every system in the Data Center. If
       these plans are not completed the move cannot occur. Operational demands on
       key staff required to develop the plans could impact this critical phases of the
       project.
      Project funds of $xxx,xxx must be incurred by May 15, 2009.


1.7 Project success criteria

A Test and Acceptance Plan will document the acceptance criteria for each system.
Business users and IT people will be heavily involved in testing. Sign-offs will be arranged
for all.

The key success of the Data Center Relocation solution will be business sign-off and
acceptance of all applications and services after relocation to new facility.

The following items represent a checklist of factors against which the overall success of
the project will be measured at project completion.

College/Department/Administration
     All services and applications are operating effectively – providing continuity of
       business from the new Data Center premises.
     Relocation occurs with minimal disruption to business operations
     All service disruptions are planned and scheduled
     Each application outage will be scheduled based on departmental constraints and
       academic calendar

Technical
    Relocation without damage or failures
    Minimal changes onsite after relocation and move to normal production operations
    Service and systems are shutdown and restarted per Application Operation Plans
       and backups occur on schedule prior to move; and
    The Data Center Relocation solution is implemented without the need to invoke
       Disaster Recovery Plans.

Documentation and Processes

      A minimum Change Advisory Board (CAB) is functioning with agreed processes;
       and
      Data Center Relocation documentation reflects current environment - data
       architecture and systems and processes are in place to capture future changes to
       systems plans.

8 Project Change Management

8.1     Change Proposals –
As the project progresses, it may be necessary to request a change to the scope, budget
or the timeframe. There are two types of changes that the project will need to manage:
      1) A change in the overall project scope. All such changes will be subject to the
         formal process defined below.
      2) System changes after “no-change “date which are required to continue University
         business.
Every change requested will be appropriately documented using the Project Change
Request Form and the Project Change Request Register. All changes initiated by the
project should be documented under version numbers and updated in accordance with
standard version numbering systems.

The Data Center Relocation Project Manager is responsible for revising and reissuing
these documents as required. The Project Manager holds master copies of these
documents.

Project change control will follow the procedure identified below:
      1) Change control covers any changes required to specifications, hardware
         configuration, system software and documents that have been signed off as
         complete.
      2) A change can be raised by the Project, Business Areas, ITS and will be
         documented on a Change Request form.
      3) Change requests raised must be reviewed and endorsed by management in the
         initiating area before submitting them to the Data Center Relocation Project
         Manager.
      4) The Data Center Relocation Project Manager will review and then document the
         Change Requests in the Change Log.
      5) Technical staff from the relevant areas will evaluate the impact of the change,
         including potential risks and estimated costs.
      6) A Change Plan will be produced by the Project Manager, as required, detailing the
         activities, timing, personnel, contingency measures and test approach required for
         effective management of the change.
      7) The Data Center Relocation Project Owner will be responsible for managing the
         approval of the Change Requests.
      8) Stakeholder managers in effected areas will be notified as soon as practical after
         approval of the Change Requests has been made.
      9) Approved Change Request will be implemented in accordance with relevant
         Quality Methodology procedures.
