Rack and Stack in Phoenix

New servers, switches and storage arrive on pallets and need to become working equipment in a rack. Rack and stack is that step: installing, mounting and cabling new hardware so it is ready for your own configuration team. PhoenixNAP stands on E. University Dr in Phoenix. Reboot Monkey is a third-party datacenter services operator, not a hosting company and not a datacenter owner, so the work is done inside the facility where your equipment already lives or will live. Your hardware, your choice of vendor and your rack stay as they are; Reboot Monkey supplies the hands and the process that put the equipment in place. For a CTO or IT Director, the practical question is who is on the floor and what they are accountable for. A Reboot Monkey engineer is dispatched to the customer's facility to carry out the agreed job.

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

Rack and stack work covers cabling, labelling and power-on checks. That scope is deliberately plain so that a procurement manager can compare it against an internal task list or another quote without translation. The engineer mounts the equipment in the rack, runs and dresses the cabling, labels each cable and device so that later work can be done from the label alone, and performs a power-on check to confirm the hardware starts. Digital Realty PHX10 (120 E Van Buren) stands on East Van Buren Street in Phoenix.

Connectivity belongs to the same job. Reboot Monkey sells the network for the rack: it 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 your rack. Where a link needs inspection, a fibre inspection scope and cleaning kit are available on request.

A rack and stack job is only as dependable as the person doing it and the person covering for them. For every customer site, a second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup, so a delivery window does not depend on one individual being available. CyrusOne Phoenix stands on South Ellis Road in Phoenix.

Reboot Monkey is vendor-neutral. It does not sell you a hosting plan or tie the installation to a platform, because it neither hosts your workloads nor owns the building. It sells rack space, IP transit, leased IP addresses, network and data-centre hardware, together with the services that deliver, install and support them. That lets one supplier cover the physical chain from a pallet at the loading dock to a patched, labelled and powered-on rack, while the customer keeps control of the configuration.

Prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job. A small addition of a few servers and a larger build are scoped separately, so the quote matches the work described.

These terms apply in every facility in Phoenix 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.

Deployments rarely stay in one city. When a project spans several sites, the same approach to scope, backup engineers and handover can be applied in each location. As of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations. For United States rollouts that continue beyond Phoenix, the same service is available in Rack and Stack in Chicago, Rack and Stack in Dallas, Rack and Stack in Denver, Rack and Stack in Los Angeles, Rack and Stack in New York and Rack and Stack in Ashburn.

New hardware that has been racked usually needs somewhere to run, and that is a separate service from the installation itself. If you also need space, power and connectivity for the equipment, Colocation in Phoenix covers rack space in the same city, so the installation and the space can be arranged together. Once equipment is in place, other Reboot Monkey services follow the same hardware through its life: remote hands for physical tasks on your instruction, smart hands for technical work that needs diagnostic judgement, server migration between racks, rooms or facilities, and hardware monitoring by the Reboot Monkey NOC. Retired equipment is handled through data center decommissioning and IT asset disposition.
