Data Center Migration in Paris

Euronext says its Paris market gathers more than 800 listed companies and is the home of the benchmark CAC 40 index. Paris also hosts the European Banking Authority and the European Securities and Markets Authority. For a finance or enterprise IT team, that concentration of institutions shapes where infrastructure sits, and it is the usual reason a physical move in this city has to be planned carefully around live production systems. Telehouse - Paris 2 (Voltaire - Léon Frot) stands on Boulevard Voltaire in Paris.

A migration in Paris is the movement of existing equipment between racks, rooms or facilities. 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 means access arrangements are settled with the operator before the move date, not on the day.

France-IX, a French internet exchange founded in June 2010, operates points of presence in Paris, as well as in Marseille and Lyon. Where a move changes the network path, Reboot Monkey orders the cross connects and carrier circuits from the facility operator and the carriers present in the facility, so connectivity for the destination rack is arranged alongside the hardware move rather than after it.

A migration project is scoped around the equipment you are moving and the order in which it has to come back into service. The physical work typically breaks down as follows, and each step is agreed with you before it starts.

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 data centres that other companies own and run. It is not a hosting company and does not own datacenters, so a migration is planned around your equipment and your destination, not around capacity of its own to fill.

The division of work on a migration is a decision you make. Reboot Monkey can run the whole physical move, or work alongside your own team where your engineers want to keep control of the logical side. A second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site, so the project does not depend on a single person being available on the day.

As of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations. For a company moving equipment out of Paris to another country, or consolidating several sites, the same operator can handle the work at both ends of the move. Prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job.

These terms apply in every facility in Paris 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.

A migration rarely stands alone. When the source site is being closed, the retired hardware has to be removed and disposed of, which is the work covered by [Data Center Decommissioning in Paris](/en/data-center-decommissioning/france/paris/). When new hardware arrives to replace or extend what is moving, it has to be mounted and cabled, and [Rack and Stack in Paris](/en/rack-and-stack/france/paris/) handles that installation. If the destination is a new rack in a shared facility, [Colocation in Paris](/en/colocation/france/paris/) provides the space and connectivity to receive the equipment.

Planning these together keeps the project on one timeline: the destination is ready before equipment leaves the source, and the source is cleared once the new environment is accepted.
