Server Migration in Munich

Moving servers is a physical project with a dependency chain: equipment has to be disconnected, transported or re-racked, reconnected and tested, and each step has an owner. For companies in Munich, Reboot Monkey handles that physical work inside data centres that other companies own and run. Reboot Monkey is a third-party datacenter services operator, not a hosting company and not a datacenter owner, so the migration is carried out in the facilities where your hardware already sits or where it is going.

Equinix MU1/MU3 - Munich stands on Seidlstrasse. The building belongs to its operator, which owns and runs its power, cooling and access policy, and Reboot Monkey engineers work under the operator's site rules.

A server migration here can mean several things: moving equipment from one rack to another, from one room to another, or from one facility to a different one. The scope is set before work begins, because the answer to who disconnects, who reconnects and who tests differs from one project to the next.

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

A migration request starts with the scope: which equipment moves, where it moves from and to, and which parts of the work your own team keeps. 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 split is written down before the first engineer is dispatched, so nobody on the day has to guess where responsibility lies.

Once the scope is agreed, a Reboot Monkey engineer is dispatched to the facility. A second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for your site, so the project does not depend on one person being available.

A move often needs new network paths at the destination. Reboot Monkey 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. Hardware that arrives at the destination can be rack-mounted and cabled as part of the same project.

Reboot Monkey sells rack space, IP transit, leased IP addresses, network, data-centre hardware and the services that deliver, install and support them. For a migration, that means one provider can cover both the physical move and the connectivity at the destination, instead of you coordinating separate parties for transport, cabling and circuits.

The work is done by Reboot Monkey field engineers, and the migration sits alongside the other services Reboot Monkey runs in the same facilities: remote hands, smart hands, rack and stack, data center decommissioning, IT asset disposition and hardware monitoring. If the old location is being emptied after the move, the retired hardware can be handled as a decommissioning job by the same provider. Smart hands covers work that needs diagnostic judgement and configuration knowledge, which matters when a moved server does not come up as expected.

Prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job. As of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations.

These terms apply in every facility in Munich 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.

If your migration spans more than one site in Germany, the same request can include a second location. A project that ends in a different city, for example one that moves equipment on to a Frankfurt facility, is scoped the same way as a Munich project, with the split of disconnection, reconnection and testing agreed up front. Reboot Monkey lists its server migration work for that city under Server Migration in Frankfurt, which is where to start when a move has a destination there.
