Data Center Decommissioning in Stockholm

Digital Realty Stockholm STO1-6 stands on Esbogatan in Stockholm. Reboot Monkey is a third-party datacenter services operator, not a hosting company and not a datacenter owner, so decommissioning work is carried out inside facilities that other companies own and run. 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.

Data center decommissioning, as Reboot Monkey defines it, is the removal and disposal of retired hardware. It is a separate service from server migration, which moves equipment between racks, rooms or facilities, and from rack and stack, which installs, mounts and cables new hardware. A project that retires one environment and builds another can combine these services under one plan, with each service scoped on its own terms.

For a CTO, IT Director or procurement manager, the practical question is what leaves the building, in what order, and what record proves it. The sections below answer that for Stockholm.

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

Decommissioning by Reboot Monkey covers servers, switches, storage arrays, and their cabling and rail kits. Nothing is removed from a rack until it has been matched to your records, and nothing leaves the rack without an entry in the log.

The work follows a fixed sequence, from first contact to finished job:

Reboot Monkey engineers carry out the removal themselves, and a second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site. If the first engineer is unavailable on the day, the backup already knows the site and the job.

When the retired hardware also needs data wiping, on-site shredding or degaussing, collection and transport, or resale or buyback, that work belongs to IT asset disposition (ITAD). ITAD is processed by Reboot Monkey staff in a partner's processing facility or on your site, and resale or buyback is quoted case by case. Raising it at the scoping stage lets removal and disposition be planned as one job.

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 Stockholm 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.

Decommissioning is often one step in a wider change to a Stockholm footprint. When retired equipment is replaced rather than simply removed, new capacity can be placed through Reboot Monkey's [Colocation in Stockholm](/en/sweden/stockholm/colocation/), where rack space, IP transit and network connectivity are sold for the new rack. For the cabling side of a 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 your rack.
