Rack and Stack in Berlin
New servers, switches and storage arrive on a delivery date, and the hardware has to be racked, cabled and powered on before it can carry workload. Reboot Monkey handles that physical installation in Berlin: installing, mounting and cabling new hardware inside the customer's rack. NorthC Berlin stands on Gradestrasse in Berlin, and the same engineer-led process applies in every facility where a customer holds space.
Reboot Monkey is a third-party datacenter services operator. It does not own the building and it is not a hosting company. It sells rack space, IP transit, leased IP addresses, network and data-centre hardware, together with the services that deliver, install and support them, inside data centres that other companies own and run. For a CTO or IT director in Berlin, that means the installation work and the supply of connectivity can be arranged with one provider instead of being split between the facility, a carrier and a separate installer.

Our Rack and Stack Services
The scope of a rack and stack job is defined in advance, so the quote matches the work. Rack and stack work covers cabling, labelling and power-on checks. In practice a job follows a fixed sequence, and each step produces something the customer can check.
- Mounting: servers, switches and other equipment are installed in the customer's rack at the positions agreed before the visit.
- Cabling: the engineer installs and patches the cabling in the customer's rack, so every port connects as specified.
- Labelling: cables and devices are labelled, which lets your own team or a later engineer trace a connection without guesswork.
- Power-on checks: each device is powered on and checked before the engineer leaves the rack.
- Network: Reboot Monkey orders the cross connects and carrier circuits from the facility operator and the carriers present in the facility, so the new hardware has connectivity when it is cabled.
- Fibre: a fibre inspection scope and cleaning kit are available on request when a link needs to be inspected or cleaned.
Why Reboot Monkey
Rack and stack is only one of the physical datacenter services Reboot Monkey delivers, and the same engineers can take the next job when the install is finished. Nearby, NTT Berlin 1 Data Center (BER1) stands on Nonnendammallee, a reminder that Berlin colocation is spread across several buildings, each with its own operator and rules. Continuity is built into the arrangement. A second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site, so a planned install does not depend on one person being available on the day. Prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job, which keeps a small install and a multi-rack build-out on terms that fit each. Reboot Monkey's reach also matters when a Berlin deployment is part of a wider rollout. As of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations.
How Reboot Monkey Works
These terms apply in every facility in Berlin 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.

Rack and Stack
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 Germany
Hardware refreshes and expansions rarely stop at one site. If the same deployment continues in another German city, the installation work can be arranged on the same basis. Teams planning a parallel install can look at Rack and Stack in Frankfurt, where Reboot Monkey engineers work in the customer's rack under the site rules of the facility operator there.
Related Services
A new install often triggers other physical work. When equipment has to move from an existing room or facility into the new racks, Data Center Migration in Berlin covers the relocation of that equipment. When a device needs a reboot, a cable check or a component swap after the install, Remote Hands in Berlin covers tasks carried out on your instruction. Both start from the same engineer relationship as the installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does rack and stack cover in Berlin?
Rack and stack in Berlin covers installing, mounting and cabling new hardware in the customer's rack. The work includes cabling, labelling and power-on checks. Reboot Monkey engineers work under the facility operator's site rules, and quotes are provided on request, depending on the customer and the size of the job.
Do you work in every datacenter in Berlin?
Reboot Monkey engineers work in any facility in Berlin 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 Berlin?
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 Berlin?
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.
