Montreal Colocation Data Center: How It Works

Reboot Monkey sells colocation in partner data centres in Montreal: the rack space, the network connectivity and the data-centre hardware (servers and network equipment), together with the service that delivers, installs and supports it, under one agreement. Reboot Monkey contracts the space in the facility that fits a customer's power, network and access requirements; the facility operators own and run the data centres themselves. Colocation prices are quoted per facility and rack size, so a quote reflects the specific rack configuration and the specific Montreal facility a customer needs, not a published rate. For network, Reboot Monkey orders the cross connects and carrier circuits from the facility operator and the carriers present in the facility, and Reboot Monkey engineers install and patch the cabling in the customer's rack. A request starts with a scoping conversation covering power, rack count and network requirements, moves to facility selection among the Montreal sites that meet those requirements, and ends with a written quote for the rack space, network and hardware involved.

What We Deliver

Once a rack is contracted in a Montreal facility, Reboot Monkey engineers handle the physical work inside it under the services available in colocation: rack and stack for new hardware, server migration between racks, rooms or facilities, remote hands for instructed physical tasks, smart hands for work needing diagnostic judgement and configuration knowledge, and hardware monitoring by the Reboot Monkey NOC. Rack and stack covers installing, mounting and cabling new hardware into the contracted rack space. Server migration covers moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities, relevant when a customer consolidates or relocates workloads within Montreal or to another facility elsewhere. Remote hands covers physical tasks carried out on the customer's instruction, such as reboots, cable checks, component swaps and visual checks, while smart hands covers technical work that requires diagnostic judgement and configuration knowledge beyond a scripted instruction. Hardware monitoring means the Reboot Monkey NOC monitors the customer's servers and network equipment on an ongoing basis after installation.

  • Hardware monitoring: ongoing monitoring of servers and network equipment by the Reboot Monkey NOC

Why Reboot Monkey

Reboot Monkey engineers are dispatched to the Montreal facility where a customer's rack is contracted, rather than being based permanently on site, so the same engineering team can be deployed across the facilities listed for Montreal on this page as a customer's footprint grows or shifts between them. Because Reboot Monkey is not the facility operator in any of the Montreal facilities, a customer dealing with Reboot Monkey keeps one point of contact for rack space, network and hardware across every facility it uses, instead of separate billing and support relationships with each operator. This also means that if a customer's requirements change, for example a move from one Montreal facility to another carrying different carriers, the rack space, network and hardware purchase stays under the same agreement and the same Reboot Monkey contact.
