Many co-location facilities have security restrictions that do not allow employees of their competition into the facility. These types of restrictions limit the amount of assistance a co-location facility can provide. Some facilities will provide additional resources to assist you in the installation portion of your migration, but can provide little assistance on the de-installation or logistics portions of your project.

However, many facilities are outsourcing the entire migration portion of a project to an independent third party (i.e., SilverBack Migration Solutions, Inc.). This strategy allows each facility to follow their internal policies while providing their customers with the highest level of service available.
