Data Center Migration in Montreal
Cologix MTL3 stands on Rene Levesque West in Montreal. The Montreal Internet Exchange (QIX) was originally created in 1995 by RISQ, the Quebec research network, and was incorporated in 2013 as a not-for-profit exchange. Montréal International lists aerospace, artificial intelligence, clean technology, defence and security, and life sciences and health technologies as key sectors of the Montréal region. For a CTO or IT director in this market, a migration usually means moving production equipment from one facility or room to another without losing track of a single asset, cable or circuit. Reboot Monkey is a third-party datacenter services operator. It does not own or run the data centres where the work takes place. It sends field engineers into the facility you already use, or the one you are moving to, and carries out the physical side of the move there. In this context, server migration means moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities. That is the scope of this page: the hands-on relocation of hardware, and the cabling and connectivity work that goes with it.

Our Data Center Migration Services
A migration is a sequence of physical tasks, and each one is assigned to a named party before the project begins. Reboot Monkey can run the whole physical move or work alongside the customer's own team. The division of labour is not fixed. Some customers want Reboot Monkey engineers to handle every step. Others keep their own staff on disconnection and testing and bring in Reboot Monkey for transport, racking and cabling. Whichever split you choose, it is written down per project so that no step is left without an owner. The work in a typical Montreal migration can include the following.
- Removing equipment from the source racks and preparing it for transport.
- Moving the equipment between racks, rooms or facilities.
- Installing, mounting and cabling the hardware in the destination rack, which is rack and stack work.
- Ordering the cross connects and carrier circuits from the facility operator and the carriers present in the facility, then installing and patching the cabling in your rack.
- Reconnecting and testing the equipment, either by Reboot Monkey engineers or by your own team, as agreed for the project.
- Removing and disposing of retired hardware once the move is complete, where decommissioning is part of the scope.
Why Reboot Monkey
The facility operator owns and runs the building, including its power, cooling and access policy, and Reboot Monkey engineers work under the operator's site rules. Within those rules, Reboot Monkey is responsible for the physical work you have agreed, and it is not tied to one facility or one hardware supplier. A second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site, so a migration does not depend on a single person being available on the day. Prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job. To prepare a quote, Reboot Monkey needs to know what is moving, where it is moving from and to, and who on your side will take part. A migration plan agreed on that basis keeps the sequence of disconnection, transport, racking, cabling and testing clear for everyone involved. Reboot Monkey also sells rack space, IP transit, leased IP addresses and network, so a move that includes new capacity can be arranged with one provider instead of several.
How Reboot Monkey Works
These terms apply in every facility in Montreal where Reboot Monkey engineers work.
- Response: 1-hour, around-the-clock incident response SLA, and a 15 minute premium response available where technicians are stationed on-site, as a paid add-on. The incident response SLA covers incidents and unplanned requests; on-site, dispatch and resolution times, priority tiers, and planned or scheduled work are agreed per site in the service agreement.
- Monitoring: 24/7 NOC monitoring across all facilities, covering IPMI, iDRAC, SNMP, temperature, power, network signals.
- Hardware: vendor-neutral technicians for Dell, HP, Cisco, Juniper and Arista equipment.
- Independence: independent from facility operators (not Equinix SmartHands, not NTT staff).

- Published case study: a major ICT provider engaged Reboot Monkey for three full infrastructure rollouts in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad, with the hardware installed the same day at every site.

Data Center Migration
The data centres we work in hold their own certifications, such as ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 9001. Ask us for the certificate of your site.
Data Center Migration in Other Cities in Canada
If your estate spans more than one Canadian city, migration work can be planned across locations. Reboot Monkey also carries out data center migration in Vancouver and data center migration in Toronto. As of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations. Coordinating a multi-site programme through one provider means a single approach to scoping, role assignment and handover for every site in the plan.
Related Services
A migration rarely stands alone. Equipment that arrives at a new facility has to be installed, and equipment that is replaced has to be retired. Rack and stack in Montreal covers the installation of new hardware that arrives with the move. Where the old estate is being emptied, data center decommissioning in Montreal handles the removal and disposal of retired hardware. After the move, remote hands in Montreal and smart hands in Montreal cover the day-to-day physical tasks and the work that needs diagnostic judgement. Colocation in Montreal is the route when the destination needs rack space as well as the move itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does data center migration cover in Montreal?
In Montreal, data center migration is the physical movement of equipment between racks, rooms or facilities. It includes removing hardware, transporting it, installing and cabling it at the destination, and reconnecting and testing it. Reboot Monkey can run the whole physical move or work alongside your own team, and who disconnects, reconnects and tests is agreed per project.
Do you work in every datacenter in Montreal?
Reboot Monkey engineers work in any facility in Montreal where the customer has equipment and access, under the operator's own access and safety rules. The customer adds the engineers to the facility's access list before the first visit.
How fast can Reboot Monkey respond in Montreal?
Incidents and unplanned requests are handled under a 1-hour, around-the-clock incident response SLA. There is also a 15 minute premium response available where technicians are stationed on-site, as a paid add-on. On-site, dispatch and resolution times, priority tiers, and planned or scheduled work are agreed per site in the service agreement.
How is Reboot Monkey different from the facility operator's own staff?
Facility operators' own technicians work for the building. Reboot Monkey engineers work for the customer: they are independent from facility operators (not Equinix SmartHands, not NTT staff), follow the customer's instructions, and the same team can cover several buildings in the city under one agreement.
How do I get started with data center migration in Montreal?
Send the site, the equipment and the task through the contact form. Reboot Monkey replies with a quote and an engineer plan for that facility. Once agreed, the customer adds the engineers to the facility's access list and the data center migration work is scheduled under the operator's rules.
