Rack and Stack in Lyon
France-IX has an exchange point in Lyon, with multiple points of presence in the city. Lyon also hosts the international headquarters of Interpol, and it is the second-largest student city in France. For a business placing equipment in the city, rack and stack is the step that turns delivered hardware into a working installation: the servers, switches and storage arrive, and Reboot Monkey engineers mount them, cable them and confirm that they power on. ETIX Lyon #1 stands on Boulevard du Parc d Artillerie in Lyon. The work is arranged before anyone travels to the rack: the customer states what is arriving, where it is to be mounted and how it is to be connected, and a named engineer carries out the job against that instruction.

Our Rack and Stack Services
Rack and stack covers the installation of new hardware in the customer's rack. In practice a job in Lyon is made of the following parts, each carried out by Reboot Monkey engineers inside the facility:
- Mounting servers, switches, storage and other equipment in the rack at the positions the customer specifies.
- Cabling the equipment, with every cable labelled so that the installation can be read and maintained later.
- Power-on checks once the equipment is mounted and cabled, so the customer knows each device starts.
- Connectivity: Reboot Monkey orders the cross connects and carrier circuits from the facility operator and the carriers present in the facility, and its engineers install and patch the cabling in the customer's rack.
- Fibre checks where a link needs them: a fibre inspection scope and cleaning kit are available on request.
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 the rack and stack work is performed in the facility the customer has chosen, not in a building Reboot Monkey runs.
That position shapes how a job is handled. A request begins with the customer's list of hardware and the target rack. Reboot Monkey assigns an engineer to the site and names a second, briefed engineer as backup for every customer site, so a job does not depend on one person being available. The engineer mounts and cables the equipment, labels it and runs the power-on checks. The customer then has an installation that is ready for its own configuration, or for smart hands work if the hardware needs configuration knowledge on site.
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 Lyon 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).

Rack and Stack in Other Cities in France
Customers with equipment in more than one French city can have the same installation work carried out elsewhere in the country, for example Rack and Stack in Paris. The scope is the same wherever the job is: mounting, cabling, labelling and power-on checks, performed by Reboot Monkey engineers inside the customer's facility and quoted on request.
Related Services
Rack and stack is usually one step in a larger deployment. Where the customer needs rack space for the new hardware, Colocation in Lyon provides it inside a facility that another company owns and runs. Once equipment is installed, remote hands covers physical tasks on the customer's instruction, such as reboots, cable checks and component swaps, and smart hands covers technical work that needs diagnostic judgement and configuration knowledge. When equipment has to move, server migration relocates it between racks, rooms or facilities, and hardware monitoring lets the Reboot Monkey NOC watch the customer's servers and network equipment after installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does rack and stack cover in Lyon?
Rack and stack in Lyon covers installing, mounting and cabling new hardware in the customer's rack. The work includes cabling, labelling and power-on checks, carried out by Reboot Monkey engineers inside the facility under the operator's site rules. Quotes are on request, and prices depend on the customer and the size of the job.
Do you work in every datacenter in Lyon?
Reboot Monkey engineers work in any facility in Lyon 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 Lyon?
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.
