Server Migration in Berlin

A server migration is the physical relocation of running equipment: servers, storage and network devices moving between racks, rooms or facilities. In Berlin the work takes place inside third-party data centres, so the first questions are practical. Where does the equipment stand today, where does it need to go, and who handles each step of the move? NorthC Berlin stands on Gradestrasse, and Reboot Monkey engineers are dispatched to the customer's facility to carry out the work there. 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. It is not a hosting company and it does not own datacenters. For a migration this means the destination rack, the connectivity and the hands-on move can be arranged with one supplier, while the facility operator keeps control of the building.

Our Server Migration Services

Server migration covers moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities. A move rarely stands alone, so the related physical tasks are part of the same conversation. The scope of a Berlin project is agreed before work starts and can include the following.

  • Moving servers, storage and network equipment between racks, rooms or facilities.
  • Rack and stack at the destination: installing, mounting and cabling the hardware.
  • Network for the new rack: 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.
  • Remote hands for physical tasks such as reboots, cable checks and visual checks during the move.
  • Smart hands where a task needs diagnostic judgement and configuration knowledge.
  • Data center decommissioning and IT asset disposition for the equipment left behind at the old location.

Why Reboot Monkey

A migration usually involves a customer team that knows the workloads and an operator that controls the building. Reboot Monkey sits between them as the party that does the physical work. The split of responsibility is a project decision: 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. That matters to an IT director who needs to keep application owners in charge of testing, and equally to one who wants the move delivered end to end. 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. Every customer site also has a second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer named as backup, so a planned move date does not depend on one person. 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 Berlin 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 Germany

Moves in Berlin are sometimes one part of a larger programme that spans more than one city. Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations as of 2026, so a multi-site project can be planned with one supplier. If part of your estate sits elsewhere in the country, the Server Migration in Frankfurt page covers the same service for that city. The migration scope, the sequence of moves and the split of roles between Reboot Monkey and your team are agreed project by project, which keeps each site's plan specific to its equipment and its facility.

Related Services

A server migration often connects to other physical work in the same city. If the destination rack still has to be arranged, Colocation in Berlin is the service to look at for space, power and connectivity. If you need an engineer on site for a task after the move, Remote Hands in Berlin covers reboots, cable checks and visual checks on your instruction. If the project is larger than a set of servers and involves relocating a whole environment, Data Center Migration in Berlin is the matching service. Each of these can be combined with the migration under a single plan, so the sequence of tasks stays coordinated.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does server migration cover in Berlin?

Server migration covers moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities. In Berlin, Reboot Monkey engineers carry out the physical move inside the data centre, and can also install, mount and cable hardware at the destination. 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.

Do you work in every datacenter in Berlin?

Reboot Monkey engineers work in any facility in Berlin 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 Berlin?

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 Berlin?

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.
