Quarter Rack Colocation
10U of dedicated, lockable space with your own metered A+B PDUs — the perfect step up from individual rack units. Private VLANs, BGP sessions and 600Gbps DDoS included as standard, in our privately-owned Cambridge Tier III data centre.
- Your own contiguous, lockable 10U section inside a 750mm APC cabinet — not shared with other customers.
- Two metered 16A PDUs on independent feeds, backed by N+N UPS and an onsite standby generator.
- Tagged VLANs delivered to your rack as standard, with extended layer-2 across the facility on request.
- Bring your own ASN and IPv4/IPv6 ranges — we'll set up a BGP session over your cross-connect.

Built for teams outgrowing single servers
Quarter rack is the sweet spot for growing infrastructure — enough space to consolidate, enough power for dense compute, with all the networking flexibility of a full rack deployment.
Growing infrastructure
When 4U isn't enough but a full rack is over-spec — quarter rack gives you headroom without paying for empty U.
Hosting & SaaS providers
Bring your own hardware, run your own platform, scale rack-by-rack as customers grow.
ISPs & network operators
Drop a PoP into Cambridge with diverse fibre, LINX/LONAP peering and BGP over your own ASN.
FinTech & regulated workloads
UK data sovereignty, ISO 27001-aligned controls, locked cabinets and full audit trails.
Transparent, predictable pricing
Power is often the single largest operational cost in colocation, so it pays to size it accurately. Use our power calculator to estimate your draw and the true monthly cost — including cooling, UPS and generator overhead.
- Per-Amp capacity-based billing
- Reserved N+1 UPS and generator capacity
- All-in cost: energy + cooling + UPS + generator
