Colocation Data Center in Chennai: How It Works

Reboot Monkey sells colocation in partner data centres in Chennai: the rack space, the network connectivity with IP transit and leased IP addresses, the data-centre hardware (servers and network equipment), and the service that delivers, installs and supports all of it, under one agreement. Reboot Monkey contracts the space in the facility that fits the customer's power, network and access requirements, and the facility operators own and run the buildings in which that space sits. Before naming a building or a date, Reboot Monkey confirms free space and power in the facility, so the quote reflects what is actually available rather than a general estimate. Colocation prices are quoted per facility and rack size, and depend on the customer and the size of the job. A request starts with the customer's power, network and space requirements; Reboot Monkey checks availability against those requirements, proposes a facility and rack size, and issues a quote. Once the agreement is signed, Reboot Monkey orders the cross connects and carrier circuits from the facility operator and the carriers present in the building, and Reboot Monkey engineers install and patch the cabling in the customer's rack. Facility operators in Chennai include Bharti Airtel Santhome, which stands on Bharti Towers, Sify Tidel-DC- Chennai, which stands on Sify Technologies Limited II, and Reliance Chennai IDC, which stands on Reliance Communications Infrastructure Limited.

What We Deliver

Beyond the rack, the network and the hardware itself, Reboot Monkey delivers the on-site work that keeps a colocated deployment running without the customer needing a permanent presence in the building. Remote hands cover physical tasks carried out on the customer's instruction: reboots, cable checks, component swaps and visual checks. Smart hands cover technical work that needs diagnostic judgement and configuration knowledge, for cases where a simple instruction is not enough. Rack and stack covers installing, mounting and cabling new hardware as it arrives at the facility. Server migration covers moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities when a deployment changes shape. Hardware monitoring is carried out by the Reboot Monkey NOC, which monitors the customer's servers and network equipment. For equipment reaching end of life, data centre decommissioning covers removing and disposing of retired hardware, and IT asset disposition covers data wiping, on-site shredding or degaussing, collection and transport, with resale or buyback quoted case by case; this work is processed by Reboot Monkey staff in a partner's processing facility or on the customer's site. A second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for the customer's site, so the work does not depend on a single point of contact.

Types of Colocation

Colocation in Chennai is contracted either as shared rack space or as a dedicated rack, and the choice determines how access to the equipment works. In a shared rack, only Reboot Monkey engineers handle the customer's equipment; this keeps the shared space under a single point of accountability. A customer with a dedicated rack can visit its own equipment, escorted by Reboot Monkey under the building's access rules, with the escort arranged on request. Both arrangements sit under the same agreement that covers the rack space, the network connectivity and the hardware, so the customer does not negotiate separate terms for each element. The network itself is sold as part of the colocation agreement: Reboot Monkey orders the cross connects and carrier circuits from the facility operator and the carriers present in the building, and Reboot Monkey engineers install and patch the cabling in the customer's rack. Rack size and the type of access, shared or dedicated, are the two variables that Reboot Monkey confirms against the facility's free space and power before a quote is issued, so the type of colocation a customer ends up with is matched to its stated access and power requirements rather than assigned by default.

Why Reboot Monkey

Reboot Monkey operates as a third-party datacenter services provider: it sells rack space, IP transit, leased IP addresses, network, data-centre hardware and the services that deliver, install and support them, inside data centres that other companies own and run. It is not a hosting company and does not own the buildings it works in; 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. This separation means the customer deals with one party, Reboot Monkey, for the rack, the network, the hardware and the on-site work, regardless of which operator runs the building the equipment sits in. Prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job, rather than published as a fixed list, because colocation requirements vary by rack size, power draw and network configuration. A second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site, so a single engineer's availability is not a dependency for ongoing support. The same agreement structure, rack space, network, hardware and service, applies whether the customer needs colocation in Chennai alone or across other locations where Reboot Monkey's field engineers work.

How Reboot Monkey Works

These terms apply in every facility in Chennai 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).
  • One agreement: single provider across cities, so a customer in several cities needs only one agreement.
  • Service levels and terms: https://www.rebootmonkey.com/en/solutions/sla
  • 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.

Colocation in Other Cities in India

As of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations, which means a customer colocating in Chennai can extend the same agreement structure, rack space, network, hardware and service, to other Indian cities without renegotiating terms per site. A customer running colocated infrastructure in more than one Indian city can request a single point of contact across those locations, with the same remote hands, smart hands and hardware monitoring service applied at each facility. Customers expanding beyond Chennai can review colocation in Mumbai, available at /en/colocation/india/mumbai/, where the same per-facility, per-rack-size quoting approach applies.
