Method, system and apparatus for enabling live and/or hot migration of physical resources

A physical migration system for use at a data center, the physical migration system comprising:

• at least one movement member configured to physically migrate at least one resource circuit board from a first location to a second location, the at least one movement member having at least one migration-support interface, the at least one migration-support interface:
• shaped to connect to a corresponding migration-support interface of the at least one resource circuit board;
• and
• configured to provide data connectivity between the at least one resource circuit board and a data center network during the at least one movement member's physical migration of the at least one resource circuit board away from an interconnect of the base circuit board to another location;
• and
• the least one resource circuit board comprising at least one common interface shaped and configured to connect to the interconnect of a base circuit board, the at least one common interface being different from the at least one corresponding migration-support interface.

A method of physically migrating at least one resource circuit board, the method comprising:

• connecting at least one migration-support interface of at least one resource circuit board to at least one corresponding migration-support interface of at least one movement member, the connecting providing data connectivity between the resource circuit board and a data center network during a physical migration of the resource circuit board from a first location to a target location;
• at least a portion of the connected at least one movement member physically moving the at least one resource circuit board a distance from the first location to the target location;
• and
• during at least a portion of the physical movement, providing, via the connection of the at least one migration-support interface of at least one resource circuit board to the at least one corresponding migration-support interface of the at least one movement member, the data connectivity to the at least one resource circuit board.
