Colocation Services
Secure Colocation - 100% power availability and built-in redundancy
Tier 3 UK Data Centres for max uptime and availability with low latency
Colocation in our purpose-built data centres allows you to maintain control of your own solution whilst taking advantage of high availability, greater connectivity, increased scalability and heightened security - conditions which are often difficult to achieve in-house.
Our Manchester data centres are the perfect environment for fast, secure and reliable colocation. All you supply is your hardware; we'll power, connect and safeguard your solution within our secure colocation complex.
- Reclaim valuable office space
- Eliminate security and facility maintenance costs
- Ensure your IT is safe from theft, fire and power outages
- Increase flexibility with quarter, half and full racks available
