Co-Location
Host your own infrastructure in secure, resilient data centres with the connectivity and support to keep it available and under control.
Physical infrastructure still plays a role
Many organisations still depend on specialist hardware, legacy platforms or critical systems that cannot easily move to public or private cloud.
Keeping that infrastructure on-site can create challenges around resilience, security, connectivity and facilities management, especially as equipment ages or office needs change.
The challenge is finding a secure, connected environment for critical infrastructure without giving up ownership or control
Securely host customer-owned infrastructure
Our Co-location service gives customer-owned infrastructure a secure, resilient data centre environment.
We help move critical systems out of office locations and into a professionally managed facility, providing space, power, cooling and connectivity, with the support needed to keep them available and easier to manage.
That gives you more resilience and control today, while keeping your infrastructure ready to connect into private cloud, Azure, backup and wider network services when needed.
A safer place for critical infrastructure
Improved resilience
Move infrastructure into a data centre environment designed to provide more reliable power, cooling and connectivity than a typical office or comms room.
Stronger security
Host critical systems in a controlled environment with stronger physical protection than many customer sites can provide.
Better connectivity
Connect infrastructure into wider network, cloud and carrier services to support hybrid architecture and business continuity.
Infrastructure support across physical, private and public cloud
Infrastructure expertise behind it
We understand the full infrastructure landscape, from physical systems to private cloud, Azure, backup and networking.
Flexible hosting options
Use co-location as a standalone service, part of a hybrid platform or a step towards cloud migration.
Connected by design
Link hosted infrastructure into wider networking, firewall, connectivity and cloud services.
UK-based support
Access experienced engineers who understand infrastructure, connectivity and operational service management.
A practical path forward
Decide what should stay physical, what should move to private cloud and what should modernise into Azure.
Focused on resilience and control
We help you improve infrastructure resilience, connectivity and long-term value without giving up ownership.
Need a more resilient home for your infrastructure?
Our cloud and infrastructure specialists can review your current environment and help identify whether co-location, private cloud, public cloud or a hybrid model is the right fit.
How it works
We review your existing infrastructure, rack space, power requirements, connectivity needs and operational dependencies.
Our specialists define the right co-location model, including space, connectivity, resilience and support requirements.
Once live, we provide ongoing service support, connectivity management and technical guidance where required.

FAQs
Get answers to common questions
What is co-location?
Co-location allows you to host your own servers and infrastructure within a secure data centre environment, while retaining ownership and control of the equipment.
Why choose co-location instead of keeping equipment on-site?
Co-location provides access to resilient power, cooling, connectivity and physical security that are often difficult or costly to achieve in a typical office environment.
Can co-location support a hybrid cloud strategy?
Yes. Co-location works well alongside Microsoft Azure, private cloud and on-premise infrastructure, providing a flexible foundation for hybrid environments.
What type of infrastructure can be hosted?
We can support a wide range of customer-owned infrastructure, including servers, storage platforms, networking equipment and specialist hardware.
Do you provide support for hosted equipment?
Yes. We can provide connectivity, monitoring and infrastructure support services, giving you access to technical expertise when required.
Ready to improve your infrastructure resilience?
Give customer-owned infrastructure a secure, connected and resilient home without giving up control.
