Data Center Decommissioning in Espoo

Equinix HE6 - Helsinki, Sinimäki stands on Sinimaentie in Espoo. Equipment that has reached the end of its service life in Espoo still has to leave the rack in an orderly way: removed in the right sequence, recorded against the customer's asset list and routed to disposal without losing track of a single item. Reboot Monkey runs this work as a third-party datacenter services operator. It does not own or run the building. 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.

Data center decommissioning, as Reboot Monkey defines it, is the removal and disposal of retired hardware. The work starts with the asset list you hold and ends with a record that matches it. A decommissioning project in Espoo is usually one of three things: a full room or cage exit, a partial retirement of a generation of servers, or the clearing of racks ahead of a migration to another site. The scope differs, but the handling of each item is the same.

The practical questions for a CTO or procurement manager are what is covered, how removal is scheduled and what record remains afterwards. The sections below answer those in turn.

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

Decommissioning covers servers, switches, storage arrays, and their cabling and rail kits. Reboot Monkey engineers work through the racks in the customer's space and take out each item together with the cabling and mounting hardware that belongs to it, so nothing is left behind in the rack or the cage.

The handling of every project follows the same sequence:

Decommissioning is rarely the only task around a retiring estate. Equipment is often moved to another room or facility first, new hardware is racked in its place, and network circuits are ended or re-ordered. Reboot Monkey covers the neighbouring work under the same engineers and the same agreement: server migration moves equipment between racks, rooms or facilities, and rack and stack installs, mounts and cables new hardware. On the network side, 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.

Where retired storage and servers need to be wiped, shredded, degaussed, collected or resold, IT asset disposition (ITAD) is the service that handles it. ITAD covers data wiping, on-site shredding or degaussing, collection and transport, and resale or buyback quoted case by case. All of it is processed by Reboot Monkey staff, either in a partner's processing facility or on the customer's site.

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, so a quote starts from your asset list and the scope you describe. Send the list and the target dates through the contact page and Reboot Monkey will reply with a scope for Espoo.

These terms apply in every facility in Espoo where Reboot Monkey engineers work.
