Why colocate with us

Big-rack infrastructure, single-server pricing

Your server gets the same resilient power, cooling, security and network as a full-rack deployment — without paying for space you don't need.

From a Single 1U

Perfect when one server is all you need. Get full data centre resilience — redundant power, cooling and connectivity — without committing to a quarter, half or full rack.

Resilient A+B Power

Every server receives dual power feeds from independent distribution paths, backed by N+1 parallel UPS systems and an onsite JCB standby generator — with a 100% power SLA.

Premium Connectivity

Your server sits on our carrier-independent AS48825 BGP network with transit from Cogent, Telia, GTT and NTT, plus direct peering at LINX and LONAP for the lowest latency routing.

DDoS Protected as Standard

600Gbps of always-on Corero SmartWall filtering is included free with every colocated server — attacks are detected and surgically removed in under a second.

Precision Climate Control

N+N Stulz precision cooling with hot-aisle containment, integrated humidifiers and grade 4 air filtration keeps your hardware in a clean, stable 20°C environment.

Free Remote Hands

Complimentary monthly remote assistance for routine tasks — reboots, cable checks, disk swaps and visual inspections — so you rarely need to visit the facility.

Getting started

From your office to our rack in four steps

Onboarding is simple — most servers are racked, connected and live within one working day of arrival.

Tell Us Your Requirements

Let us know your server's size, power draw and bandwidth needs. We'll confirm pricing and provision your rack space, power feeds and IP allocation.

Ship or Deliver Your Server

Courier your server to our Cambridge facility or drop it off in person — we'll arrange a convenient delivery window and handle it with care on arrival.

We Rack & Connect

Our engineers rack your server, connect dual power feeds and network uplinks, label everything and verify connectivity before handover.

Go Live

Your server goes live behind our DDoS-protected network with 24/7 monitoring. Manage it remotely with full administrative control from day one.

Room to grow when you need it

Start with a single unit and scale seamlessly — your IPs and network configuration move with you.

You are here

Single Server (1U–4U)

Start with one server and add more units as you grow — ideal for standalone applications, backups and edge nodes.

Quarter & Half Rack

Dedicated contiguous space with your own PDU and room to expand — a natural next step for growing infrastructure.
