Server Migration in Bangalore

CtrlS Bangalore DC1 stands on Veer Sandra in Bangalore. Reboot Monkey does not own or operate data centres: it is a third-party datacenter services operator, and server migration here means moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities that other companies own and run.

A migration is rarely only a transport job. Servers have to be powered down in an agreed order, labelled, uncabled, moved, remounted and recabled in the destination rack, then brought back into service. Reboot Monkey engineers carry out the physical side of that sequence at the customer's site, working under the site rules of the facility operator at both ends of the move. The operator remains responsible for the building, and the customer remains responsible for the systems running on the hardware.

Before any equipment is touched, the scope is written down: which racks and rooms are the source, where each device lands, which cables and network connections have to be reproduced, and which party performs each step. That written scope is what the engineers work from on the day.

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

A request starts with a conversation about what is moving and where it is going. From that, the migration is scoped as a plan the customer can review before work begins. Reboot Monkey can run the whole physical move, or work alongside the customer's own team. Who disconnects, reconnects and tests the equipment is agreed per project, so a team that wants to keep control of cutover and testing can do so, while Reboot Monkey handles the hands-on work in the racks.

The physical work covers the moves customers typically need:

Reboot Monkey is vendor-neutral and works inside facilities it does not own. That matters on a migration, because the move often crosses an operator boundary: the source and the destination may belong to different companies with different access policies. 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.

For each customer site, a second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup, so a planned move does not depend on one person being available on the day.

The same operator that moves the hardware can also supply what the destination rack needs. Reboot Monkey sells rack space, IP transit, leased IP addresses and network, so connectivity for the new location can be ordered as part of the same project instead of being arranged separately. Prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job.

These terms apply in every facility in Bangalore 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.

Migrations in India often involve more than one city, for example when equipment leaves one facility and lands in another. For the other end of such a move, the same approach applies: scope agreed in writing, roles split per project, and engineers working under the site rules of the local operator. The service is also available for moves that start in Mumbai, and the details of that offer are on the page for Server Migration in Mumbai, which suits teams planning a transfer between the two cities.

A migration usually sits next to other physical work. Newly arrived hardware may need to be installed and cabled as part of rack and stack, and retired equipment left behind by the move can be removed and disposed of through data center decommissioning. If the destination is a rack in a shared facility, Colocation in Bangalore covers the rack space and network that the moved equipment will run on.

After cutover, the customer's servers and network equipment can be watched by the Reboot Monkey NOC through hardware monitoring, and remote hands is available for physical tasks carried out on the customer's instruction, such as reboots, cable checks and visual checks, once the equipment is in place.
