Data Center Colocation
Tier III/IV colocation with redundant power, carrier-neutral meet-me rooms, and direct cloud on-ramps — your hardware in a facility built for uptime, not the office under the AC. 100% SLA on facility services backed by access controls and compliance-ready operations.
Overview
Your hardware still needs a home, but your own server room is a single point of failure disguised as convenience. Data centre colocation provides rack space, power, cooling, and connectivity in a Tier III+ rated facility with redundant infrastructure. Your equipment runs in a professional environment while you keep full control of the metal. The facility handles the roof, power, and cooling; you keep ownership, control, and compliance without building a data centre of your own.
Clevertek scopes every engagement to your environment — capacity, sites, compliance and support model — so you get a tailored plan rather than a fixed SKU. Pricing is quote-only, and our solutions architects will work through your requirements before any proposal.
Our approach
We provide carrier-neutral colocation space across Tier III and Tier IV rated facilities with redundant power distribution, N+1 cooling, and multiple fibre entry paths. Each rack comes with a committed power capacity, metered power usage, and cross-connect options to carriers, cloud on-ramps, and peering exchanges. We manage facility operations — environmental monitoring, physical access control, and incident response — so your team focuses on the servers, not the building. Every colocation contract includes a facility SLA covering power availability, cooling temperature ranges, and maintenance windows. You retain root access, hardware control, and compliance ownership; we carry the facility risk.
Why work with us
Tier III+ rated facilities
Infrastructure built to Uptime Institute standards with redundant power paths, N+1 cooling, and concurrent maintainability — your equipment stays online even during maintenance cycles.
100% power and cooling SLA
A contractual commitment on facility uptime, power availability, and temperature ranges. If the facility falls below committed thresholds, the SLA provides measurable recourse.
Carrier neutral connectivity
Access to multiple carriers, cloud on-ramps, and internet exchanges from within the same facility — no single-carrier dependency, no last-mile monopoly.
Scalable power per rack
From 2 kW to 50+ kW per rack depending on workload density. Power is metered per circuit so you pay for what you use, not a flat guess.
Multi-layered physical security
Biometric access controls, perimeter monitoring, 24x7 guards, and mantrap entry — the same controls you would build for a Tier III facility, already in place.
On-site remote hands service
Remote hands for basic operations — power cycles, cable management, drive swaps — without dispatching your own engineer for every physical task.
Key benefits
What this solution delivers for your business.
Eliminate on-premise infrastructure risk
Move equipment out of office server rooms with single power feeds and shared cooling. A Tier III facility removes the most common causes of on-site outages.
Predictable operational cost
Fixed monthly billing per rack or per cabinet with metered power. No surprise CapEx for cooling replacements, generator maintenance, or facility upgrades.
Faster connectivity options
Carrier neutral facilities provide access to multiple ISPs, cloud direct-connect services, and peering exchanges — circuits that would take weeks to provision at an office can be live in days.
Compliance-ready environment
Facility certifications cover SOC 2, ISO 27001, and industry-specific standards. Your audit scope narrows to your equipment and software, not the building.
Operational resilience through diversity
Diverse power feeds from separate substations, multiple fibre entry points, and physically separated meet-me rooms reduce the chance that a single utility failure takes you offline.
Focus on systems, not facilities
Your engineers manage servers and applications; facility operations teams manage generators, CRAC units, and fire suppression. Each team does what it does best.

Where it helps
Real-world scenarios where this solution delivers measurable outcomes.
Server room consolidation
Consolidate equipment from multiple office server rooms into a single Tier III facility with redundant power and cooling. Eliminate the risk of office AC failures, single power feeds, and shared circuits that have caused unplanned downtime.
Compliance-driven infrastructure move
Move regulated workloads into a colocation facility with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certifications. Your audit scope narrows to equipment and software — the building, power, and physical security are covered by facility certifications.
Disaster recovery secondary site
Use colocation as your off-site recovery location for on-premise production systems. Replicate data to a facility in a different seismic and power-grid zone with independent fibre connectivity.
Hybrid cloud on-ramp
Colocate kit next to cloud direct-connect services for low-latency hybrid workloads — databases that cannot migrate to cloud but need fast access to cloud-based applications and analytics.
Hardware lifecycle refresh
Use the colocation move as the trigger for a hardware refresh cycle. Retire old servers and storage in the old server room and deploy new equipment directly into the facility with proper cabling and power distribution.
Questions buyers actually ask
What is the difference between colocation and cloud?
Colocation is your hardware in a professional facility — you own the servers, you control the OS, you manage the software. Cloud is rented infrastructure where the provider manages the hardware. Colocation suits workloads you must control for compliance, performance, or licensing reasons; cloud suits elastic and managed workloads.
What power capacity do I need per rack?
Typical enterprise deployments range from 2 kW per rack for light workloads to 10+ kW per rack for dense compute. We assess your equipment power draw during onboarding and recommend the right power tier. Oversizing is waste; undersizing causes breaker trips.
How quickly can we get connected?
Rack space is available on demand. Cross-connects to carriers and cloud on-ramps typically complete within 5 business days. Full deployment timelines depend on your equipment delivery and cabling scope.
Do we need to visit the facility?
Not for routine operations. Remote hands handles power cycles, cable changes, and visual checks. A visit is only needed for hardware installation, major reconfiguration, or decommissioning.
What happens during a power outage?
UPS batteries provide immediate ride-through. Automatic transfer switches activate generator power within seconds. Fuel contracts sustain generator operation for 48+ hours. The facility operates through utility outages without service interruption.
