Data Center Migration in Toronto
TorIX, the Toronto Internet Exchange, says it is Canada's largest internet exchange point and one of the largest in the world. It is also described as Toronto's first not for profit internet exchange, started by technical experts to keep local data traffic local. The Toronto Stock Exchange, founded in 1861, is located in the city as well. For a CTO or IT director, that means a migration in Toronto usually involves equipment that sits close to the networks and the business that depend on it, and the physical move has to be planned around that equipment staying in service for as long as possible.
Telehouse Toronto stands on Front Street West in Toronto. A migration into or out of a building like this is carried out under the operator's site rules, so the plan starts with what the facility permits and what your own team needs to approve. Reboot Monkey does not own or run data centers: it sends engineers into facilities that other companies operate, and the migration is scoped around the building you are moving from and the one you are moving to.
Server migration, in the terms Reboot Monkey uses, is the moving of equipment between racks, rooms or facilities. That covers a move across the same hall as well as a move between two sites in the Toronto area. Each project is defined by what is being moved, where it ends up, and who handles each step.

Our Data Center Migration Services
A migration is handled as a sequence of physical tasks, each with a named owner. The request starts with the inventory: which servers, storage arrays and network devices are moving, which racks they leave and which racks they enter. From that list the project is split into the steps below, and the split between Reboot Monkey engineers and your own staff is agreed before work begins.
Where new racks or new hardware are part of the move, the receiving side is prepared first. Reboot Monkey engineers install, mount and cable the equipment in the destination rack, and the cabling is patched in the customer's rack. For connectivity, Reboot Monkey orders the cross connects and carrier circuits from the facility operator and the carriers present in the facility, so the new location has its network in place before the equipment arrives.
- Planning the move from the equipment inventory, with disconnect, reconnect and test responsibilities assigned per project.
- Removing equipment from the source racks and transporting it to the destination.
- Rack and stack at the destination: installing, mounting and cabling the hardware.
- Ordering cross connects and carrier circuits from the facility operator and the carriers present in the facility.
- Testing the equipment once reconnected, by Reboot Monkey or by your team, as agreed.
- Hardware monitoring of your servers and network equipment by the Reboot Monkey NOC, where you want it to continue after the move.
Why Reboot Monkey
Reboot Monkey is a third-party datacenter services operator. It sells rack space, IP transit, leased IP addresses, network and data-centre hardware, together with the services that deliver, install and support them, inside facilities that other companies own and run. It is not a hosting company, so a migration is not tied to moving your workloads onto a platform Reboot Monkey operates. For every customer site, a second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup. On a migration, where a single absent engineer could stall a scheduled window, that second name matters to the project plan. As of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations. For a company moving between Toronto and another country, the same engineering approach and the same agreed split of responsibilities can apply at the other end of the move. Prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job.
How Reboot Monkey Works
These terms apply in every facility in Toronto 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.

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.
Related Services
A migration rarely stands alone. If the destination is a new set of racks, the space and network are arranged first, and the source side often ends with the retirement of the old hardware.
When the destination needs rack space, power and network connectivity in the city, the same engineers can arrange it through [Colocation in Toronto](/en/colocation/canada/toronto/). When equipment is left behind at the old site once the move is complete, removal and disposal of the retired hardware is handled through [Data Center Decommissioning in Toronto](/en/data-center-decommissioning/canada/toronto/), so the exit from the old facility is planned together with the move rather than after it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does data center migration cover in Toronto?
In Toronto, data center migration covers moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities. Reboot Monkey can run the whole physical move or work alongside your own team, and who disconnects, reconnects and tests the equipment is agreed per project. A second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site.
Do you work in every datacenter in Toronto?
Reboot Monkey engineers work in any facility in Toronto 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 Toronto?
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 migration in Toronto?
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 migration work is scheduled under the operator's rules.
