Server Migration in Belgrade

Cetin Data Center stands on Omladinskih brigada in Belgrade. A move into, out of or within a facility like this is a physical project with a defined start, a defined end and a list of equipment that has to arrive in working order. Reboot Monkey is a third-party datacenter services operator, not a hosting company and not a datacenter owner. We work inside data centres that other companies own and run, which means a migration is planned around the building and the rules of its operator rather than around our own premises. Server migration, in the way Reboot Monkey uses the term, is the moving of equipment between racks, rooms or facilities. It is a different task from installing new hardware, which is rack and stack, and different from retiring hardware, which is decommissioning. Keeping the three apart matters when you write a scope of work, because each one is staffed, scheduled and documented differently. A migration that also retires old servers or adds new ones is usually split into those parts so that each has its own owner and its own completion point.

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

A migration request starts with the equipment and the destination. You tell us what is moving, where it sits today and where it has to end up, whether that is another rack in the same room, another hall or a different facility. From that, the physical work is divided into steps: powering down and disconnecting, removing from the rack, transport where the move leaves the building, mounting at the destination, cabling and reconnection, and testing.

Who does each step is not fixed in advance. 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. Some customers keep the logical side, such as configuration and application checks, with their own staff and hand the lifting, cabling and patching to us. Others want a single party responsible for every physical step. Both arrangements are normal, and the agreement is written down before the move.

Cabling is part of the job rather than an afterthought. 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 the customer's rack. When a migration lands in a new facility, this means the network connectivity and the physical patching can be handled in the same project as the move itself.

When a migration involves new hardware arriving at the destination, or old hardware leaving after the move, those tasks are scoped alongside it as rack and stack and as decommissioning, so equipment is not left unaccounted for between the old location and the new one.

Reboot Monkey is vendor-neutral. It sells rack space, IP transit, leased IP addresses, network, data-centre hardware and the services that deliver, install and support them, and the same engineers who handle a migration handle the other physical work in the facility, so one supplier can cover the move and what follows it.

Continuity during a project is covered by a named arrangement: a second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site. If the engineer assigned to your migration is unavailable, the backup already knows the site, the equipment list and the agreed split of tasks, so the project does not restart from a handover.

As of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations. For a buyer, the practical meaning is that a migration across borders, for example out of Belgrade into a facility in another country, can be run with engineers on both ends under one supplier relationship instead of two separate contracts.

Commercial terms follow the job. Prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job, so a quote is built from your equipment list, the source and destination, and the share of the work you want Reboot Monkey to carry. To start, send the list of what is moving and where it has to go through the contact page, and the scope and the quote are prepared from that.

These terms apply in every facility in Belgrade 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.
