Colocation in Budapest

Pro-M Victor Hugo stands on Victor Hugo u in Budapest. A buyer who places equipment in the city buys four things from Reboot Monkey under one agreement: the rack space, the network connectivity with IP transit and leased IP addresses, the data-centre hardware (servers and network equipment), and the service that delivers, installs and supports all of it. Reboot Monkey sells colocation in partner data centres. A request starts with a short description of what has to be housed: the rack size, the power draw, the network needed and how often staff will need to reach the equipment. Reboot Monkey confirms free space and power in the facility before it names a building or a date, so a quote never rests on capacity that has not been checked. Colocation prices are quoted per facility and rack size, which means the quote you receive describes one specific building and one specific rack configuration rather than a generic range. Once the space is agreed, Reboot Monkey engineers handle delivery and installation. Hardware is received, mounted and cabled in the rack, and the network is brought up on the circuits ordered for it. To start, send the rack size, the network requirement and the target date through the contact form, and the quote comes back for a named facility.

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

The work around a rack is split into services that can be ordered together with the space or added later. Remote hands covers physical tasks carried out on your instruction: reboots, cable checks, component swaps and visual checks. Smart hands covers technical work that needs diagnostic judgement and configuration knowledge, where an engineer has to read a fault and decide what to do about it rather than follow a single instruction.

Rack and stack is the installation of new hardware: mounting, cabling and bringing the equipment into its position in the rack. Server migration moves equipment between racks, rooms or facilities, which matters when a deployment outgrows its first rack or has to change building. Hardware monitoring is the monitoring of your servers and network equipment by the Reboot Monkey NOC, so faults are seen by the same organisation that holds the hands on site.

When equipment reaches the end of its life in the rack, data center decommissioning removes and disposes of the retired hardware, and IT asset disposition (ITAD) covers data wiping, on-site shredding or degaussing, collection and transport, and resale or buyback quoted case by case. That work is processed by Reboot Monkey staff, in a partner's processing facility or on the customer's site.

The practical difference between colocation arrangements is how much of the rack is yours and who touches the equipment. Reboot Monkey offers two arrangements in these terms. In a shared rack, only Reboot Monkey engineers handle the customer's equipment. In a dedicated rack, the customer can visit its equipment, escorted by Reboot Monkey under the building's access rules, with the escort arranged on request.

The choice follows from how the equipment is run. A customer that manages its servers remotely and calls on engineers for installs, swaps and fault checks fits a shared rack, because every physical task goes through a briefed engineer and the equipment is handled by one team only. A customer that expects its own staff to inspect or work on the hardware in person fits a dedicated rack, with the visit arranged in advance so the escort and the building's access rules are in place before anyone arrives.

Both arrangements carry the same network. Reboot Monkey orders the cross connects and carrier circuits from the facility operator and the carriers present in the facility, and Reboot Monkey engineers install and patch the cabling in the customer's rack. Connectivity is therefore delivered as part of the colocation order and does not need to be sourced separately from the building.

The rack size is the other variable, and it is the one the quote depends on. Because colocation prices are quoted per facility and rack size, state the rack size you expect to need at the start, and say whether you expect to grow into more space, so the facility is chosen with that growth in mind.

Security in a colocation deployment has two layers, and they belong to different parties. Entry to the building is therefore decided by the operator, and every visit to a dedicated rack happens inside those rules. What Reboot Monkey controls is who handles your equipment and how that work is covered. In a shared rack only Reboot Monkey engineers touch the customer's hardware, which keeps the number of people with physical access to it small and known. For every customer site, a second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup, so a task does not depend on one person being available and the engineer who steps in already knows the site. When hardware leaves the rack, the same attention applies to the data on it. Under IT asset disposition, data wiping, on-site shredding or degaussing are carried out by Reboot Monkey staff, either in a partner's processing facility or on the customer's site, with collection and transport arranged as part of the job. For a buyer reviewing risk, the useful questions are who is allowed to touch the hardware, under whose rules they enter the building, and what happens when the person assigned to the site is unavailable. The arrangement above answers each of them in operational terms, and the quote names the facility so the operator's own access policy can be reviewed before the contract is signed.

Reboot Monkey is a third-party datacenter services operator. It does not host customers on its own infrastructure and it does not own datacenters. 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. For a buyer, that means the space, the connectivity, the hardware and the engineers are covered by one agreement, with one organisation answerable for the whole delivery.

The same engineers who install your hardware are the ones who support it afterwards, and the NOC that monitors your servers and network equipment belongs to the same organisation. A fault is seen, diagnosed and acted on without handing the case between suppliers.

As of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations. For a customer with equipment in Budapest and elsewhere, that allows moves, installs and support in other places to be arranged with the same supplier rather than a new vendor for each site.

To begin, describe the rack size, the network you need and the date you want to be live. Reboot Monkey confirms free space and power in the facility, names the building and returns the quote for that facility and rack size.

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

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.
