Colocation
Colocation Overview
Your hardware. A far better building.
Colocation is your equipment in a building designed for nothing else: redundant power, industrial cooling, carrier-neutral connectivity, and biometric security, rented by the rack. You keep full control of the hardware. You stop being responsible for the room it lives in.
In practice the trigger is one of three events: the server closet has run out of power or cooling; the office is moving and the gear can’t take a week off; or an auditor asked where the data lives, and “behind the kitchen” wasn’t an acceptable answer.
Which facility is right depends on where your traffic actually goes, which carriers are on-net in the building, and what compliance you carry. We know these facilities — power pricing, cross-connect fees, which operators negotiate — and we shortlist against your real footprint at no cost to you.
What is Colocation?
Floor space, power, cooling & bandwidth
Floor space, power, cooling, and bandwidth — from a quarter rack to a private cage. Facilities run dual power feeds, dual fiber paths, and dozens of on-net carriers behind 99.9%+ uptime SLAs, with the compliance attestations (SSAE 18, PCI, HIPAA) no office building can offer. And because the major clouds rack in these same buildings, hybrid isn’t a project — it’s a cross-connect.
Why Consider It?
The business case
- Security — badged, camera’d, biometric — and no burst pipe above the server rack
- Reliability — dual power, dual fiber, N+1 cooling, 99.9%+ SLAs
- Cost — industrial power at industrial rates, and no facilities burden on your team
- Performance & scalability — growth is another rack, not a construction project
- Office relocation — move the people without moving the uptime
- Compliance requirements — audit-ready facilities with the attestations your regulators expect
