A data centre without its own data centre

A professional environment for your hardware

Do you have your own servers but don’t want the hassle of managing a server room? Colocation provides a professional home for your hardware – from a single server to a full rack.

First-class infrastructure

Redundant power supply with a UPS and emergency power generator, precision air conditioning and fire protection – conditions that an office rack can never provide.

Excellent transport links

Multi-redundant carrier connectivity with low latency – your systems can be accessed quickly and reliably.

Physically secured

Access control, CCTV and documented access around the clock – your hardware is as secure as our own.

People on the ground

Our Remote Hands service takes care of reboots, replacements and cabling – saving you the journey.

The best of both worlds

On-premises hardware, connected to the cloud

Colocation and the cloud are not mutually exclusive: connect your own systems directly to ccloud³ – for example, for hybrid architectures, cloud backups of your on-premises data using cBacks, or to handle peak loads that your hardware cannot cope with on its own. All in a single data centre, all from a single source.

  • Direct connection of your own systems to the ccloud³

  • Cloud backup of local data with cBacks as the target
  • Absorbing peak loads that your own hardware alone cannot carry
