Data Center Migration in Munich

A migration is a physical project with a fixed endpoint: equipment leaves one location, arrives at another, and has to work again on the other side. Reboot Monkey is a third-party datacenter services operator. It does not own or run data centres, and it is not a hosting company. Its engineers work inside facilities that other companies own and run, which is the situation in Munich as well. Equinix MU1/MU3 - Munich stands on Seidlstrasse.

For a CTO, IT Director or procurement manager, the first decision is who carries which part of the move. 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 responsibility for each step is written down before any hardware is touched. Because the facility operator owns and runs the building, including its power, cooling and access policy, Reboot Monkey engineers work under the operator's site rules.

Data centres in Munich, ordered by the number of networks present:

A request starts with the customer describing the move: which equipment, from which racks, rooms or facilities, and to where. From that scope Reboot Monkey quotes the job. Prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job. 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.

The physical work draws on the services Reboot Monkey provides inside the facility:

Network is part of most migrations, and 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. The customer deals with one party for the move and for the connectivity it depends on.

After the move, hardware monitoring covers the customer's servers and network equipment through the Reboot Monkey NOC, so the first hours in the new location are watched rather than assumed. In Munich, EMC Home of Data MUC I/II - MuCon-X stands on Elisabeth-Selbert-Str, a reminder that the same city can hold several buildings with different operators and different site rules. The migration plan accounts for the rules of the facility the equipment leaves and the one it enters.

As of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations.

These terms apply in every facility in Munich 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.

Moves in Germany often span more than one city, for example when equipment leaves a Munich facility for a destination elsewhere in the country. The Berlin page covers the same migration service and can be read alongside this one: see Data Center Migration in Berlin for planning a move that starts or ends there. A project that crosses two cities is handled under the same scope, with the roles at each end agreed in advance.
