Data Center Migration in Amsterdam
AMS-IX says it was established in 1994, after academic institutions at the Science Park in Amsterdam sought to exchange data directly. NIKHEF Amsterdam stands on Science Park in Amsterdam. Amsterdam is also the commercial capital of the Netherlands, and many large Dutch institutions have their headquarters there, which is why moves of production equipment in this city tend to involve environments that cannot be left unattended or poorly documented.
A data center migration here is a physical project with a defined start and finish: equipment is powered down in a controlled order, disconnected, labelled, transported or relocated within the building, then installed, cabled and brought back up. Reboot Monkey sells the network for the rack as well, so cross connects and carrier circuits for the destination can be ordered from the facility operator and the carriers present, and Reboot Monkey engineers install and patch the cabling in your rack.

Our Data Center Migration Services
Server migration is defined as moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities. A data center migration in Amsterdam is built from that service plus the supporting tasks around it, and each project is scoped to the equipment, the source and destination and your own team's involvement.
- Moving servers, storage and network equipment between racks, rooms or facilities.
- Rack and stack at the destination: installing, mounting and cabling new or relocated hardware.
- Cabling and patching in your rack, including the cross connects and carrier circuits ordered for the move.
- Technical work that needs diagnostic judgement and configuration knowledge, delivered as smart hands where the project calls for it.
- Removal and disposal of hardware retired as part of the move, through data center decommissioning and IT asset disposition (ITAD).
Why Reboot Monkey
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 and does not own datacenters, so a migration is planned around your equipment rather than around a building we need to fill.
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.
On the project itself, 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 responsibilities are written down before the move starts. A second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site, which means the job does not depend on one person being available on the day.
How Reboot Monkey Works
These terms apply in every facility in Amsterdam 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.
- Service levels and terms: https://www.rebootmonkey.com/en/solutions/sla
- 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.

Data Center Migration
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.
Data Center Migration in Other Cities in Netherlands
A move often spans more than one location, for example when equipment leaves one city for another or a second site is brought up in parallel. For work outside Amsterdam, see Data Center Migration in Rotterdam. As of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations, so a multi-site project can be planned as one piece of work rather than as separate engagements.
Related Services
A migration usually touches other services before and after the move day. Hardware arriving at the new site is installed through Rack and Stack in Amsterdam, and new capacity can be ordered as Colocation in Amsterdam. Equipment that does not move is cleared through Data Center Decommissioning in Amsterdam. Moves limited to servers are covered by Server Migration in Amsterdam. Once the equipment is live, day-to-day physical tasks such as reboots, cable checks and component swaps are handled through Remote Hands in Amsterdam, and work that needs diagnostic judgement and configuration knowledge through Smart Hands in Amsterdam.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does data center migration cover in Amsterdam?
It covers the physical move of equipment between racks, rooms or facilities: powering down, disconnecting, relocating, installing, cabling and reconnecting. Reboot Monkey can run the whole physical move or work alongside your own team, and who disconnects, reconnects and tests the equipment is agreed per project. A second, briefed engineer is named as backup for every customer site.
Do you work in every datacenter in Amsterdam?
Reboot Monkey engineers work in any facility in Amsterdam 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 Amsterdam?
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 data center migration in Amsterdam?
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 data center migration work is scheduled under the operator's rules.
