Data Center Relocation in Los Angeles: How It Works
A relocation starts with a conversation about what is moving, where it is going and who on the customer side will take part. CoreSite LA1 One Wilshire stands on S. Grand Ave in Los Angeles, and relocations in the city often involve moving equipment into, out of or between buildings like it. Reboot Monkey is a third-party datacenter services operator. It does not own or run the buildings it works in, so every move is planned around the site rules of the facility operator.
Once the scope is clear, the work follows a fixed sequence. Reboot Monkey engineers confirm the inventory against the customer's list, prepare the destination rack positions and cabling, and schedule the move with the operator. On the day, equipment is powered down, labelled, de-racked, transported, re-racked and cabled at the destination. A second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site, so the project does not depend on one person being available.
When the move is complete, the customer receives confirmation of what was installed and where, so the new rack layout can be checked against the plan before the old location is released.

What We Deliver
Server migration, as Reboot Monkey defines it, is moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities. In Los Angeles that covers the physical steps of a relocation, and the division of labour is agreed per project: 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 settled before work begins.
The move usually draws on several related services:
- De-racking, labelling, transport and re-racking of servers, storage and network equipment.
- Rack and stack at the destination: installing, mounting and cabling new hardware that joins the migrated estate.
- Network for the new rack: 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.
- Smart hands for technical work that needs diagnostic judgement and configuration knowledge, such as checking a service after it has been reconnected.
- Data center decommissioning and IT asset disposition for hardware that is retired instead of moved, with data wiping, on-site shredding or degaussing, collection and transport.
Why Reboot Monkey
Los Angeles customers often keep equipment in more than one building. CoreSite LA2 stands on N. Alameda in Los Angeles, and a migration between buildings means working with each operator's access policy on both ends. 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.
Because Reboot Monkey sells rack space, IP transit, leased IP addresses, network and hardware as well as the services that install and support them, the people moving your equipment are working inside the same commercial relationship as the people supplying the connectivity. One party coordinates the move and the circuits it depends on, which keeps hand-offs between the physical move and the network order short.
After the move, Reboot Monkey can continue to support the estate. Hardware monitoring by the Reboot Monkey NOC watches the customer's servers and network equipment, and remote hands handles instructed tasks such as reboots, cable checks and visual checks. 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 Los Angeles?
In Los Angeles, data center migration covers moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities: powering down and labelling hardware, de-racking, transport, re-racking and cabling at the destination.

Cross connects and carrier circuits can be ordered as part of the move.
Do you work in every datacenter in Los Angeles?
Reboot Monkey engineers work in any facility in Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles?
Incidents and unplanned requests are handled under a 1-hour, around-the-clock incident response SLA.
