Server Relocation in London

A server migration is a physical project with a defined start, a defined end and a list of equipment that must arrive working. In London, Reboot Monkey handles it as the movement of equipment between racks, rooms or facilities, carried out by field engineers 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 move happens in the facility you already use or the one you are moving into.

Telehouse - London (Docklands North) stands on Coriander Avenue in London. Whatever the building, the operator owns and runs it, including its power, cooling and access policy, and Reboot Monkey engineers work under the operator's site rules.

The buyer's first decision is how much of the move Reboot Monkey should carry. Some customers want the whole physical move handled from start to finish. Others have their own team and need extra hands at the rack. Both are supported, and the split is written down per project before work begins, so nobody on the day has to guess who owns which step.

Server migration covers moving servers and network equipment between racks, rooms or facilities. A request follows a fixed order, so the person who raised it always knows what happens next.

First, you describe the move: which equipment, where it sits today, where it must end up and when. Reboot Monkey then agrees the roles for the project. Because the arrangement is set per project, the same service works for a customer who wants a full handover and for one who keeps its own administrators in charge of the systems.

Second, a Reboot Monkey engineer is assigned to the site, and a second, briefed engineer is named as backup. That backup is in place for every customer site, so a single unavailable person does not stall a planned move.

Third, the engineer carries out the physical work in the facility: de-racking, labelling, transport preparation where the move crosses buildings, re-racking and cabling at the destination. Where the new location needs 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.

Finally, the equipment is reconnected and tested. Who performs the disconnection, the reconnection and the test is the item most worth settling early, and it is the one the project agreement records explicitly.

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 this matters because the move, the new rack space and the connectivity can be arranged with one supplier instead of being split across several.

Equinix LD8 - London, Docklands stands on Harbour Exchange Square in London. A move into or out of a building like that is still planned the same way: the operator sets the access rules, and Reboot Monkey plans the work to fit them.

As of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations. For a company relocating equipment between London and another country, that means the same supplier can plan both ends of the move.

Prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job. The scope you send determines the quote, so the more precisely the equipment list and the destination are described, the more precisely the job can be planned.

These terms apply in every facility in London 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.

A migration rarely stands alone. Once equipment has landed in its new location, day-to-day physical tasks continue, and many customers arrange [Smart Hands in London](/en/smart-hands/united-kingdom/london/) for technical work that needs diagnostic judgement and configuration knowledge. If the destination needs rack space as well, [Colocation in London](/en/colocation/united-kingdom/london/) places the equipment in a facility run by another company.

Digital Realty London LON1-3 stands on Hanbury Street in London. New hardware that arrives alongside the migrated equipment is covered by rack and stack, which means installing, mounting and cabling it. Retired hardware left behind after the move can go to data center decommissioning, which removes and disposes of it.
