Data Center Decommissioning in Marseille

Marseille is described as a data hub for Europe and the Mediterranean region, with subsea cables linking it directly to the Middle East and many locations across Africa. Orange says its Marseille hub connects no less than 12 subsea cables and 8 major terrestrial links. dc2scale MRS1 (Marseille datacenter) stands on rue Jacques Reattu in Marseille. For a company that placed equipment here to reach those routes, retirement of that equipment is a physical project with its own sequence: the hardware has to be identified, scheduled for removal, taken out of the racks and disposed of, with a record the customer can reconcile against its own asset register. Reboot Monkey runs that project as a third-party datacenter services operator, working inside facilities that other companies own and run. It is not a hosting company and does not own the building. The customer keeps one point of contact for the whole job, from the first scope discussion to the final removal log.

Data center decommissioning at Reboot Monkey means removing and disposing of retired hardware. In Marseille the work covers the following, and each step is agreed with the customer before engineers go on site.

A decommissioning job fails on detail: a missing serial number, an unlogged drive, a removal slot that clashes with the facility's rules. Reboot Monkey reduces that risk in three ways. First, the asset list is the reference for the whole job. Engineers record serial numbers, asset tags and rack positions against it, so the customer's records and the physical rack are checked against each other before anything is lifted out. Second, every customer site has continuity built in: a second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site, so a single absence does not stall a removal window. Third, the work is vendor-neutral. Reboot Monkey is not tied to a hardware manufacturer or to the facility, and it works under the operator's site rules, since the operator owns and runs the building, including its power, cooling and access policy. Prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job, so a quote reflects the actual scope rather than a generic package.

These terms apply in every facility in Marseille where Reboot Monkey engineers work.

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.

Customers with equipment in more than one French city can run decommissioning under the same process and the same record-keeping. If your estate also includes hardware in the capital, the same approach applies to Data Center Decommissioning in Paris, with the same asset-list reconciliation and removal log. As of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations, so a multi-site retirement programme can be planned as one project instead of a series of separate engagements.

Decommissioning is often one half of a hardware refresh. Where retired equipment is being replaced, new servers and network gear need rack space, cabling and installation in the same facility. Teams planning that replacement can review Colocation in Marseille alongside the removal schedule, so new and old hardware are handled in a single visit plan. Reboot Monkey also provides server migration, which moves equipment between racks, rooms or facilities, for cases where hardware is being relocated rather than retired.
