Server Migration in Phoenix
A server migration is a physical operation first. Equipment has to be disconnected, moved, racked, cabled and tested, and the order in which that happens decides how long your services are affected. Reboot Monkey defines server migration as moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities, and delivers it with field engineers who work inside the customer's data centre.
Phoenix has several colocation buildings that businesses move between. PhoenixNAP stands on E. University Dr in Phoenix. Digital Realty PHX10 (120 E Van Buren) stands on East Van Buren Street in Phoenix. CyrusOne Phoenix stands on South Ellis Road in Phoenix. Whether your move is between two of them, between rooms in the same building or out of an on-premises server room, the work is scoped to your equipment list and your target racks.
Reboot Monkey is a third-party datacenter services operator. It does not host your workloads and does not own the buildings, so the migration is planned around your hardware and your destination, not around a platform it needs to fill.

Our Server Migration Services
Each migration is agreed per project, and the first decision is who does what. Reboot Monkey can run the whole physical move, or work alongside your own team. Who disconnects, reconnects and tests the equipment is agreed per project, so a team that wants to keep its own people on the cutover can do so while Reboot Monkey handles transport and installation.
A typical Phoenix move is built from these parts:
- Moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities, with the order of disconnection and reconnection agreed before the day.
- Installing, mounting and cabling hardware at the destination, the work that Reboot Monkey calls rack and stack.
- Network at the new location: 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.
- Testing after reconnection, so that the equipment is confirmed working before the old position is released.
- Retiring what is left behind: hardware that does not move can be removed and disposed of as a separate decommissioning job.
Why Reboot Monkey
A migration fails most often on the day itself, when the engineer who knows the plan is unavailable. For this reason a second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site, so the work does not depend on one person being present.
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. Plan your move window with that in mind, and give the facts about your equipment early: rack positions, cable types, and any hardware that needs a specific handling order.
Reboot Monkey also sells the rack space, IP transit, leased IP addresses and network that a destination needs, so the physical move and the connectivity it depends on can be arranged together. 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.
How Reboot Monkey Works
These terms apply in every facility in Phoenix 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).

A server migration usually sits next to other physical work. If the destination racks are not yet built, [Rack and Stack in Phoenix](/en/rack-and-stack/united-states/phoenix/) covers installing, mounting and cabling the new hardware. If you need space for the incoming equipment, [Colocation in Phoenix](/en/colocation/united-states/phoenix/) is the starting point. When the old site is being emptied, [Data Center Decommissioning in Phoenix](/en/data-center-decommissioning/united-states/phoenix/) handles removal and disposal of retired hardware. For a move of a whole site rather than a set of servers, see [Data Center Migration in Phoenix](/en/data-center-migration/united-states/phoenix/).
Frequently Asked Questions
What does server migration cover in Phoenix?
Server migration in Phoenix covers moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities. 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. Network cabling at the destination is installed and patched in your rack by Reboot Monkey engineers.
Do you work in every datacenter in Phoenix?
Reboot Monkey engineers work in any facility in Phoenix 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 Phoenix?
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 Phoenix?
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.
