Server Migration in Melbourne
Major companies including BHP and Rio Tinto established their headquarters in Melbourne, and IX Australia, run by the Internet Association of Australia, is a not-for-profit, member-driven association that operates internet exchanges including one in Melbourne. SUBCO says its SMAP submarine cable system connects Sydney, Melbourne via Torquay, Adelaide and Perth. NEXTDC M1 stands on Lorimer Street in Melbourne.
A server migration here is a physical project with a defined start and finish: equipment leaves one rack, room or facility and arrives in another, cabled and tested. Reboot Monkey runs this as a third-party datacenter services operator, inside data centres that other companies own and run. It is not a hosting company and does not own the buildings in which the work takes place.

Our Server Migration Services
Server migration covers moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities. The work is planned with the customer before any hardware is touched, and the division of labour is set at the start rather than discovered on the day.
- Who disconnects, reconnects and tests the equipment is agreed per project.
- Reboot Monkey can run the whole physical move, or work alongside the customer's own team.
- New hardware arriving as part of a move can be installed, mounted and cabled as rack and stack work.
- Retired equipment left behind after a move can be handled through data center decommissioning.
- Where a move needs new network capacity, Reboot Monkey orders the cross connects and carrier circuits from the facility operator and the carriers present in the facility, and engineers install and patch the cabling in the customer's rack.
Why Reboot Monkey
A migration touches production equipment, so continuity of the people on site matters as much as the plan. 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.
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. Reboot Monkey is vendor-neutral: it moves the customer's existing equipment as it is and is not tied to a hardware brand.
As of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations. For a company consolidating or relocating infrastructure across several sites, one provider can coordinate the physical work at each end of the move. 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 Melbourne 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.

Server Migration in Other Cities in Australia
Moves rarely stay within one city. Companies that run equipment in Melbourne often keep a second site elsewhere in the country, and a migration may begin in one city and finish in another. For work that originates or ends in Sydney, the same service is available as [Server Migration in Sydney](/en/server-migration/australia/sydney/), planned and handled in the same way.
Related Services
A server migration often sits next to a decision about where the equipment will live. Customers placing hardware in a Melbourne facility as part of a move can arrange rack space alongside the migration through [Colocation in Melbourne](/en/colocation/australia/melbourne/), so the destination and the move are organised together.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does server migration cover in Melbourne?
Server migration in Melbourne covers moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities. Reboot Monkey can run the whole physical move or work alongside the customer's own team, and who disconnects, reconnects and tests the equipment is agreed per project. A second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site.
Do you work in every datacenter in Melbourne?
Reboot Monkey engineers work in any facility in Melbourne 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 Melbourne?
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 server migration in Melbourne?
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 server migration work is scheduled under the operator's rules.
