Data Center Migration in Lyon
Lyon hosts the international headquarters of Interpol and is the second-largest student city in France. France-IX has an exchange point in Lyon, with multiple points of presence in the city. ETIX Lyon #1 stands on Boulevard du Parc d Artillerie in Lyon.
A migration here means moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities, inside data centres that other companies own and run. Reboot Monkey is a third-party datacenter services operator. It does not own the buildings it works in and it is not a hosting company, so the move is planned around the site rules of the operator whose facility is involved, at both the origin and the destination.
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. For a buyer, that fixes the boundary of the project: the operator controls the building, and Reboot Monkey controls the physical handling of the hardware that is being moved.
Project scope is set before work starts. Reboot Monkey can run the whole physical move or work alongside the customer's own team. Who disconnects, reconnects and tests the equipment is agreed per project, so there is no ambiguity on the day about which side owns each step.

Our Data Center Migration Services
A migration in Lyon is rarely a single task. It is usually a sequence of physical services, each defined once here and used across the project plan.
- Server migration: moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities.
- Rack and stack: installing, mounting and cabling new hardware at the destination.
- Remote hands: physical tasks carried out on the customer's instruction, such as reboots, cable checks, component swaps and visual checks.
- Smart hands: technical work that needs diagnostic judgement and configuration knowledge.
- Data center decommissioning: removing and disposing of retired hardware at the origin site.
- IT asset disposition (ITAD): 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: monitoring of the customer's servers and network equipment by the Reboot Monkey NOC.
Why Reboot Monkey
Reboot Monkey engineers are dispatched to the customer's facility rather than operating from a building of their own. As of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations.
A second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site. For a migration, where a single absent engineer can stop a cutover window, this means the project does not depend on one person being available on the day.
The service is vendor-neutral: Reboot Monkey sells rack space, IP transit, leased IP addresses, network, data-centre hardware and the services that deliver, install and support them, so the migration, the connectivity and the hardware can sit under one commercial relationship. Prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job.
The network side of a move is handled in the same project. Reboot Monkey 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.
How Reboot Monkey Works
These terms apply in every facility in Lyon 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.

- 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
Teams moving equipment into Lyon often need space to receive it. Rack space for the destination can be arranged through Colocation in Lyon, so the racks, the migration work and the connectivity are planned together.
At the origin site, retired hardware that is not moving can be removed through data center decommissioning, and data-bearing devices can pass through IT asset disposition, using the service definitions given above. Ongoing physical support after the move, from rebooting a device to swapping a failed component, is covered by remote hands and smart hands, so the same engineers who handled the migration can remain the point of contact for the equipment afterwards.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does data center migration cover in Lyon?
It covers the physical move of customer equipment between racks, rooms or facilities in Lyon, supported where needed by rack and stack at the destination and decommissioning or ITAD at the origin. Reboot Monkey can run the whole move or work alongside the customer's team, and who disconnects, reconnects and tests is agreed per project.
Do you work in every datacenter in Lyon?
Reboot Monkey engineers work in any facility in Lyon 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 Lyon?
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 Lyon?
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.
