Data Center Decommissioning in Paris
Retiring hardware from a Paris colocation suite is a controlled removal job. The equipment has to leave the rack in an order that does not disturb live systems, and every item has to be accounted for against the customer's own asset records. Telehouse - Paris 2 (Voltaire - Léon Frot) stands on Boulevard Voltaire in Paris, and Paris is also served through buildings such as the ones operated by Equinix in the Saint-Denis and Victor Hugo areas. In each case the operator owns and runs the building, including its power, cooling and access policy, and Reboot Monkey engineers work under the operator's site rules.
Reboot Monkey is a third-party datacenter services operator. It does not host customers and does not own datacenters, so decommissioning is delivered inside the facility where your equipment already sits. The scope is agreed before any engineer is dispatched: which racks, which hardware classes, and what happens to the equipment once it is out of the cabinet.

Our Data Center Decommissioning Services
Data center decommissioning at Reboot Monkey means removing and disposing of retired hardware. In Paris the work covers the following, and each step is recorded so that your asset list and the physical rack agree at the end of the job.
- Recording of serial numbers, asset tags and rack positions against the customer's asset list before anything is unracked.
- Removal of servers, switches, storage arrays, and their cabling and rail kits.
- Scheduling of the removal with the customer in advance, including any out-of-hours or weekend windows the facility requires.
- Logging of every item as it is removed, so the customer holds a running record of what has left the rack.
- Hand-off to IT asset disposition (ITAD) where the equipment is to be wiped, shredded or degaussed, collected and transported, or quoted for resale or buyback case by case. ITAD is processed by Reboot Monkey staff in a partner's processing facility or on the customer's site.
Why Reboot Monkey
A decommissioning job is only as reliable as its paperwork and its people. Reboot Monkey names a second, briefed engineer as backup for every customer site, so a single absence does not stall a removal window that the facility has already granted. The same engineers who record your serial numbers and rack positions carry out the removal, which keeps the asset trail in one set of hands from first inventory to final item logged.
Because Reboot Monkey works inside data centres that other companies own and run, the job is planned around the operator's access rules rather than around a facility Reboot Monkey controls. The date and time of each removal are fixed with you in advance, and the plan states which racks are touched and in what order. As of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations, and the same removal and logging routine applies at each of them.
Prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job. Describe the racks, the hardware classes and the timing you need, and the quote follows that scope.

Decommissioning is often one half of a larger move. If retired hardware is being replaced by new equipment, new racks can be filled through Rack and Stack in Paris, which covers installing, mounting and cabling the replacement servers and switches. If the capacity is moving to a different space, Colocation in Paris covers the rack space the equipment moves into. Reboot Monkey can plan the removal and the installation together, so the old hardware leaves in the same window that the new hardware goes in.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does data center decommissioning cover in Paris?
Decommissioning in Paris covers 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 Paris?
Reboot Monkey engineers work in any facility in Paris 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 Paris?
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 Paris?
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.
