Financial Services·Toronto — 151 Front Street

Fintech Platform (anonymized)

Challenge

A payments processor needed to migrate 24 racks from a legacy Toronto facility to a Tier III site with zero customer-visible downtime, on a 48-hour weekend window.

Solution

StackTrue ran a two-month planning cycle: physical and logical audit, staged cross-connects, pre-cabled destination racks, and a rehearsed cutover runbook. Two CDCE-certified engineers on-site at both facilities during the window, with a live vendor bridge.

Outcome

Cutover completed in 41 hours against a 48-hour budget. Zero customer-visible downtime. Signed chain-of-custody on every asset; Fluke certification on all new cabling.
