Data Center Migration in Chennai
Bharti Airtel Santhome stands on Bharti Towers in Chennai. A migration in this city is the physical movement of equipment between racks, rooms or facilities, and it is the part of a project where planning on paper meets cabling, labelling and access rules on the day.
Reboot Monkey is a third-party datacenter services operator. It does not own or run data centres. 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. That arrangement shapes how a move is scheduled: the work follows the access windows and procedures the operator sets for the site, and the migration plan is written around them rather than against them.
The starting point is a scoping conversation. You describe the source and the destination, the equipment to be moved and the dependencies between systems. From that, the move is split into stages that can be tested one at a time, so that a problem found on one rack does not halt the rest of the project.

Our Data Center Migration Services
Server migration, in Reboot Monkey's terms, means moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities. The scope of a Chennai project is agreed before work starts and can include any of the following physical tasks.
- De-installing servers, storage and network equipment from the source racks and preparing them for transport.
- Installing, mounting and cabling the equipment in the destination racks (rack and stack).
- Patching and cabling in the customer's rack, including the cross connects and carrier circuits Reboot Monkey orders from the facility operator and the carriers present in the facility.
- Retiring the old environment: removing and disposing of retired hardware through data center decommissioning, and IT asset disposition where wiping, shredding or degaussing, collection and transport are needed.
- Hardware monitoring of the migrated servers and network equipment by the Reboot Monkey NOC once they are live.
Why Reboot Monkey
A migration needs clear ownership of each step. Reboot Monkey can run the whole physical move, or work alongside your own team. Who disconnects, reconnects and tests the equipment is agreed per project, so there is no ambiguity on the day about which party is responsible for which task.
A second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site. If the primary engineer is unavailable, the person who steps in already knows the site, the racks and the plan.
Reboot Monkey is vendor-neutral and sells the network for the rack as well as the labour: rack space, IP transit, leased IP addresses and data-centre hardware can be ordered alongside the move, so the destination is ready when the equipment arrives. 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.
How Reboot Monkey Works
These terms apply in every facility in Chennai 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.
