Server Migration in Toronto
The Toronto Stock Exchange is located in Toronto and was founded in 1861. TorIX, the Toronto Internet Exchange, says it is Canada's largest internet exchange point and one of the largest in the world. TorIX is Toronto's first not for profit internet exchange, started by technical experts to keep local data traffic local. For a CTO or IT Director, that context explains why so much production equipment sits in this city, and why moves between racks, rooms and facilities here are a recurring operational task rather than a one-off event.
Telehouse Toronto (151 Front St West) stands on Front Street West in Toronto.
Server migration, as Reboot Monkey defines it, is moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities. Reboot Monkey is a third-party datacenter services operator. It does not host your workloads and it does not own the buildings. The equipment moves between data centres that other companies own and run, and the physical work is done by Reboot Monkey field engineers sent to the customer's facility.

Our Server Migration Services
A migration project is scoped around who does what. Reboot Monkey can run the whole physical move, or it can work alongside your own team. Who disconnects, reconnects and tests the equipment is agreed per project, so a team that wants to keep control of cutover testing can do so, and a team that wants a single party accountable for the whole move can hand it over.
The work around a move usually draws on several services, each with its own definition:
- Rack and stack: installing, mounting and cabling new hardware at the destination, so the target racks are ready before equipment arrives.
- Smart hands: technical work that needs diagnostic judgement and configuration knowledge, for example when a migrated system needs configuration checks after it is powered on.
- Remote hands: physical tasks carried out on your instruction, such as reboots, cable checks, component swaps and visual checks.
- Data center decommissioning: removing and disposing of retired hardware once the move is complete and the old site is being emptied.
- Network 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 your rack.
Why Reboot Monkey
A migration touches production equipment, so the people doing the work and the way a request is handled matter as much as the technical scope. A request starts with a conversation about the equipment, the source and destination, and the split of responsibilities between Reboot Monkey and your team. Prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job.
A second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site, so the project does not depend on a single person being available on the day of the move. Because the work happens inside a building run by someone else, 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 sells rack space, IP transit, leased IP addresses, network and data-centre hardware alongside these services, so the destination racks, the connectivity and the physical move can be arranged with one provider rather than split across several. As of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations, which matters when a Toronto move is one part of a wider programme across several sites.
How Reboot Monkey Works
These terms apply in every facility in Toronto 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.

- 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.

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.
Related Services
A server move often sits inside a larger change. If the old site is being emptied once the equipment has moved, retired hardware can be handled through [Data Center Decommissioning in Toronto](/en/data-center-decommissioning/canada/toronto/). If the destination needs rack space and network before the move can start, arrange it through [Colocation in Toronto](/en/colocation/canada/toronto/), so the racks, cross connects and carrier circuits are in place when the equipment arrives.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does server migration cover in Toronto?
Server migration covers moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities in Toronto. 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. Related work such as rack and stack, smart hands and decommissioning of retired hardware can be added to the same project.
Do you work in every datacenter in Toronto?
Reboot Monkey engineers work in any facility in Toronto 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 Toronto?
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 Toronto?
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.
