Compare all tiers & pricingWhy full rack colocation
When partial rack space stops scaling
The point at which U-by-U shared space stops making sense — and full rack colocation in a private 42U cabinet becomes the right answer for performance, security and total cost.
Total physical isolation
No shared cabinets, no shared PDUs, no shared keys. Your hardware sits behind doors only your team and our escorted engineers can open.
Serious power density
Stop fighting U-by-U power budgets. Dual 32A A+B as standard, with higher-density 3-phase and DC options for AI, GPU and storage workloads.
Room to grow
Adopt a full 42U today and we'll reserve growth space alongside — go from one rack to a row, cage or private suite without re-cabling.
Power delivery
Power built for full rack colocation
Single-phase, three-phase or DC — we provision the right feeds, PDUs and resilience for your workload. Every full rack colocation package ships A+B from independent UPS systems backed by on-site diesel standby.

Built-in growth path
Start with one full rack. Scale to a private suite.
Most full rack colocation customers double their footprint inside two years. We reserve adjacent space in your first contract so scaling never means re-cabling, re-IPing or moving VLANs.
Growth reservations included
Adjacent rack positions held at signing — most customers reach a meshed cage or private suite within 18–24 months without a disruptive migration.
