Rack and Stack in Marseille
Orange says its Marseille hub connects no less than 12 subsea cables and 8 major terrestrial links. In 2019 the port of Marseille-Fos announced new subsea cable landing infrastructure, with a first phase able to accommodate up to six cables. For a company placing new servers, switches or storage in the city, that connectivity is a practical reason to deploy here, and the physical installation is the step that turns delivered hardware into working capacity. dc2scale MRS1 (Marseille datacenter) stands on rue Jacques Reattu in Marseille. Reboot Monkey does not own or operate datacenters. Within that framework, the engineers handle the hands-on installation of your equipment, from the moment it reaches the rack to the moment it is powered on and ready for your own configuration team.

Our Rack and Stack Services
Rack and stack is the installation, mounting and cabling of new hardware. In Marseille, a request follows a defined sequence, and each step produces something you can check.
- Scoping: you send the equipment list, the target rack and the cabling plan, and Reboot Monkey confirms the scope and returns a quote. Prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job.
- Mounting: servers, switches and other equipment are fitted into the rack according to your layout.
- Cabling and labelling: the cabling is installed and every cable and device is labelled, so your team and any later engineer can trace a connection without guessing.
- Power-on checks: once the hardware is cabled, the engineer powers it on and checks that it comes up, then reports the result to you.
- Connectivity: 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 your rack. A fibre inspection scope and cleaning kit are available on request.
Why Reboot Monkey
A rack and stack job depends on the engineer knowing the plan before arriving on site. A second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site, so a single absence does not stall a scheduled installation.
Reboot Monkey is a third-party datacenter services operator. It sells rack space, IP transit, leased IP addresses, network, data-centre hardware and the services that deliver, install and support them, inside data centres that other companies own and run. It is not a hosting company, which means the hardware you install stays yours and the choice of what runs on it stays with your team.
As of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations. For a business with equipment in several places, the same way of working applies to each installation, and one supplier can handle the physical side of a rollout without you coordinating separate local contractors.
When the installation is done, the work does not have to end there. Rack and stack sits alongside the other physical services: engineers can take over day-to-day tasks on the equipment you have just installed, as the related services below describe.
How Reboot Monkey Works
These terms apply in every facility in Marseille where Reboot Monkey engineers work.
- Response: 1-hour, around-the-clock incident response SLA, and a 15 minute premium response available where technicians are stationed on-site, as a paid add-on. The incident response SLA covers incidents and unplanned requests; on-site, dispatch and resolution times, priority tiers, and planned or scheduled work are agreed per site in the service agreement.
- Monitoring: 24/7 NOC monitoring across all facilities, covering IPMI, iDRAC, SNMP, temperature, power, network signals.
- Hardware: vendor-neutral technicians for Dell, HP, Cisco, Juniper and Arista equipment.
- Independence: independent from facility operators (not Equinix SmartHands, not NTT staff).
- One agreement: single provider across cities, so a customer in several cities needs only one agreement.

- Published case study: a major ICT provider engaged Reboot Monkey for three full infrastructure rollouts in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad, with the hardware installed the same day at every site.

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.
Rack and Stack in Other Cities in France
Hardware rollouts in France rarely stop at one site. If your plan includes capacity elsewhere in the country, the same installation scope is available in Paris through [Rack and Stack in Paris](/en/france/paris/rack-and-stack/) and in Lyon through [Rack and Stack in Lyon](/en/france/lyon/rack-and-stack/). Using one supplier across sites keeps the labelling, cabling and power-on checks consistent from one rack to the next.
Related Services
New hardware usually leads to further physical work. Once equipment is racked, [Remote Hands in Marseille](/en/france/marseille/remote-hands/) covers tasks carried out on your instruction, such as reboots, cable checks and visual checks, and [Smart Hands in Marseille](/en/france/marseille/smart-hands/) covers technical work that needs diagnostic judgement and configuration knowledge. If the equipment must move from another site into the city, [Server Migration in Marseille](/en/france/marseille/server-migration/) moves equipment between racks, rooms or facilities, and [Data Center Migration in Marseille](/en/france/marseille/data-center-migration/) applies when a whole environment relocates.
When new hardware replaces old, [Data Center Decommissioning in Marseille](/en/france/marseille/data-center-decommissioning/) removes and disposes of the retired equipment. If you also need space for the new racks, [Colocation in Marseille](/en/france/marseille/colocation/) is the place to start.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does rack and stack cover in Marseille?
Rack and stack in Marseille covers installing, mounting and cabling new hardware in your rack. The work includes cabling, labelling and power-on checks, carried out by Reboot Monkey field engineers under the facility operator's site rules. Connectivity can be added: Reboot Monkey orders cross connects and carrier circuits, and its engineers install and patch the cabling. Quotes are on request.
Do you work in every datacenter in Marseille?
Reboot Monkey engineers work in any facility in Marseille 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 Marseille?
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 rack and stack in Marseille?
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 rack and stack work is scheduled under the operator's rules.
