Data Center Migration in Edinburgh
A data center migration is the physical relocation of equipment: servers, storage and network hardware moved between racks, rooms or facilities. For IT directors and procurement managers in Edinburgh, the practical questions are who does the work, who is accountable for each step, and how the move fits around the facility's own rules. Pulsant Edinburgh SC-1 (South Gyle) stands on The Clocktower Estate, and Reboot Monkey engineers work in the customer's facility under the operator's site rules. Reboot Monkey is a third-party datacenter services operator. It does not own or run data centres and is not a hosting company. The scope of a project in Edinburgh is set before work begins, so the people involved on both sides know which tasks they own.

Our Data Center Migration Services
Server migration at Reboot Monkey means moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities. Around that core task sit the related services a move usually needs, each delivered by Reboot Monkey engineers in the customer's own facility.
- Server migration: moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities, with who disconnects, reconnects and tests the equipment agreed per project.
- Rack and stack: installing, mounting and cabling new hardware at the destination.
- Network and cabling: Reboot Monkey orders the cross connects and carrier circuits from the facility operator and the carriers present in the facility, and its engineers install and patch the cabling in the customer's rack.
- Data center decommissioning: removing and disposing of retired hardware once the move is complete.
- 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.
- Remote hands and smart hands: physical tasks on your instruction, and technical work that needs diagnostic judgement and configuration knowledge, for the days around the move.
- Hardware monitoring: monitoring of the customer's servers and network equipment by the Reboot Monkey NOC.
Why Reboot Monkey
Reboot Monkey can run the whole physical move or work alongside the customer's own team. Some customers want a single accountable party from first rack to last cable. Others keep their systems engineers in charge of disconnecting and testing and use Reboot Monkey for the hands-on and logistics work. Either arrangement is written into the project plan, so nobody discovers on the night who was meant to reconnect a given server.
A second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site. If the primary engineer cannot attend, the backup already knows the site, the equipment and the plan, so a migration window does not depend on one person's availability.
Reboot Monkey sells the whole stack around the rack: rack space, IP transit, leased IP addresses, network and data-centre hardware, together with the services that deliver, install and support them. A migration can therefore be planned together with the connectivity the destination rack needs, rather than treated as a separate purchase. As of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations. Prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does data center migration cover in Edinburgh?
Data center migration covers moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities in Edinburgh. Reboot Monkey can run the whole physical move or work alongside the customer's own team, and who disconnects, reconnects and tests the equipment is agreed per project. Related work such as rack and stack, cabling, decommissioning and ITAD can be added to the same project.
Do you work in every datacenter in Edinburgh?
Reboot Monkey engineers work in any facility in Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh?
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 Edinburgh?
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.
