Colocation in Edinburgh: How It Works

Reboot Monkey sells colocation in partner data centres in Edinburgh: the rack space itself, 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. Pulsant Edinburgh SC-1 (South Gyle) stands on The Clocktower Estate. Reboot Monkey contracts the space in the building that fits the customer's power, network and access requirements, and confirms free space and power in the facility before it names a building or a date. A request starts with the customer's specification: rack size, power draw, network requirements and any hardware to be installed. Reboot Monkey then checks availability against the current facility position, proposes a building and a rack, and issues terms covering the space, the network and the service in one agreement. Once confirmed, Reboot Monkey engineers handle delivery, installation and cabling of the equipment in the rack, and the account moves into ongoing support. Colocation prices are quoted per facility and rack size, and depend on the customer and the size of the job.

What We Deliver

Once a rack is in place in Edinburgh, Reboot Monkey covers the work needed to install, run and retire the equipment inside it. Remote hands cover physical tasks carried out on the customer's instruction, such as reboots, cable checks, component swaps and visual checks, while smart hands cover technical work that needs diagnostic judgement and configuration knowledge. Rack and stack covers installing, mounting and cabling new hardware into the rack, and server migration covers moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities. 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, and resale or buyback quoted case by case, all processed by Reboot Monkey staff in a partner's processing facility or on the customer's site. Hardware monitoring covers monitoring of the customer's servers and network equipment by the Reboot Monkey NOC. Reboot Monkey also sells the network for the rack: it 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.

Types of Colocation

Colocation in Edinburgh is sold as either a shared rack or a dedicated rack, and the access arrangement differs between the two. In a shared rack, only Reboot Monkey engineers handle the customer's equipment, so the customer's hardware sits alongside other tenants' equipment in the same rack without direct customer access. 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. Pulsant Edinburgh SC-3 (Newbridge) stands on Claylands Road. Both arrangements are quoted under the same agreement structure covering rack space, network and hardware, and the choice between them depends on how often the customer's own staff need physical access against how much of the work is handled by Reboot Monkey engineers on their behalf. For customers who do not plan to visit the rack, remote hands and smart hands cover the physical tasks that would otherwise require a site visit, from routine checks to configuration changes, reported back to the customer once complete.

Why Reboot Monkey

A second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site, so a request is never dependent on a single point of contact. Pulsant Edinburgh SC-2 (Medway) stands on Bankhead. Because Reboot Monkey sells colocation across many buildings under one agreement structure, a customer running equipment in more than one facility, in Edinburgh or elsewhere, deals with a single contract and a single point of contact for rack space, network and hardware rather than separate arrangements per building. As of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations, which lets a customer scale a deployment into a new city or country under the same agreement structure used in Edinburgh.

How Reboot Monkey Works
