Data Center Decommissioning in Perth
Perth is the main service centre for the resource industries of Western Australia. The Australia-Singapore Cable lands at the Shenton Park cable landing station in Perth, according to Submarine Networks, and a Business News report on the Indigo cable system says it positions Perth as a key data and cloud hub for all of Australia. NEXTDC P2 stands on Lord Street in Perth.
When equipment in a Perth rack reaches the end of its service life, the work is the removal and disposal of retired hardware. Reboot Monkey is a third-party datacenter services operator, not a hosting company and not a datacenter owner, so the job is carried out inside a facility that another company owns and runs. The request starts with your asset list: the hardware to be retired is agreed with you before any engineer is dispatched, and the date is set to suit your change window and the facility's access rules.
A second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site, so a job does not depend on a single person being available on the day.

Our Data Center Decommissioning Services
Decommissioning covers servers, switches, storage arrays, and their cabling and rail kits. The work follows a fixed sequence so that the customer can reconcile what left the rack against what was expected to leave it.
- Recording: serial numbers, asset tags and rack positions are recorded against the customer's asset list before removal begins.
- Scheduling: removal is scheduled with the customer in advance, including any out-of-hours or weekend windows the facility requires.
- Removal: every item is logged as it is removed, so the log shows what was taken out and in what order.
- Disposal: retired hardware is disposed of after removal. Where the customer also needs IT asset disposition, that service covers data wiping, on-site shredding or degaussing, collection and transport, and resale or buyback quoted case by case. Reboot Monkey staff process it in a partner's processing facility or on the customer's site.
- Related work: if equipment is not being retired but moved, server migration covers moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities.
Why Reboot Monkey
Decommissioning in a shared facility has two parties with different responsibilities. 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. That is why scheduling is agreed in advance: access windows are set by the operator, and the removal date is planned around them with you.
Reboot Monkey sells the network for the rack as well as the hands-on services, so the same company that retires your hardware can also order the cross connects and carrier circuits you still need in the facility. Engineers install and patch the cabling in the customer's rack, which keeps a partial decommissioning, where some equipment stays live, under one point of contact.
As of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations. Prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job, so the first step is to send the asset list or a description of the racks involved.

Data Center Decommissioning in Other Cities in Australia
If your estate spans more than one site in the country, the same method applies elsewhere: the asset list is recorded, removal is scheduled in advance and each item is logged as it is removed. Running the sites as one programme keeps the asset records consistent from one location to the next.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does data center decommissioning cover in Perth?
In Perth, data center decommissioning is the removal and disposal of retired hardware: servers, switches, storage arrays, and their cabling and rail kits. Serial numbers, asset tags and rack positions are recorded against your asset list, removal is scheduled with you in advance, including any out-of-hours or weekend windows the facility requires, and every item is logged as it is removed.
Do you work in every datacenter in Perth?
Reboot Monkey engineers work in any facility in Perth 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 Perth?
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 decommissioning in Perth?
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 decommissioning work is scheduled under the operator's rules.
