Suppose you're part of a lean IT team. In that case, you're probably juggling far more than you should, including keeping infrastructure running, managing backups, ensuring compliance, all while trying to support the business. At some point, the server hidden in a closet just doesn't cut it anymore.
That's where colocation comes in.
Colocation (or "colo") is renting secure, purpose-built space in a data center to house your servers and networking gear. You still own and manage the hardware, but we care for the power, cooling, connectivity, and physical security. Think of it as a five-star hotel for your infrastructure.
Here's why Racksquared's colocation services are a smart, scalable option for IT teams like yours
Built-In Redundancy = Maximum Uptime
Power outages and fiber cuts happen. Yet, with colocation at Racksquared, your infrastructure is protected by redundant power (N+1), dual feeds, and multiple network paths. Racksquared continues to offer high availability, with an uptime SLA of 99.999%. That's the peace of mind your business can depend on.
Tap Into True Data Center Expertise
Your IT team is great—but do they have round-the-clock access to certified experts in facilities management, network routing, cooling systems, and compliance? We do. Our engineers are on-site 24/7/365, providing proactive monitoring and hands-on support so your team can stay focused on strategic initiatives and not babysit servers.
We’re ready when you are
At Racksquared, we can spin up rack space, power, and connectivity in days, not weeks. That agility means your team can respond faster to business demands, whether a new application rollout or rapid growth. Colocation is just one part of a modern IT strategy. At Racksquared, it integrates seamlessly with services like:
- Veeam Cloud Connect for off-site backups
- Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)
- Private cloud environments
That means you can start with colocation and evolve into a hybrid cloud—without jumping ship or changing providers.
Midwest Location, Nationwide Reach
Our data center in Columbus, Ohio, offers more than just affordable power and real estate. We also sit in a low-risk area (far from hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods), and our central U.S. location gives you low-latency access coast to coast. Whether your business is thriving in New York, Chicago, or Mexico City, it's a strategic production or disaster recovery hub.
Personalized Support
We're not a massive, faceless provider. At Racksquared, you get direct access to engineers who know your setup, not a generic help desk somewhere over sees. We pride ourselves on white-glove support, with flexible services and custom configurations that fit your business, not the other way around. If you need support in something, we can help.
Predictable, Flat-Rate Pricing
When it comes to colocation, location matters. Not just for security and connectivity, but for your bottom line. By choosing Racksquared, you benefit from the stability of a Midwest-based data center that delivers enterprise-grade reliability without the inflated costs of larger metro markets.
Thanks to our Midwest location, we keep costs low and pass those savings on to you. Our flat-rate pricing model is simple, transparent, and competitive. No hidden fees, bandwidth surprises, or add-on charges. Just reliable service at a fair price.
You Stay in Control
We get it, Cloud platforms are great for many, but for those that want to own their own infrastructure, colocation is a great alternative. With Racksquared colocation, you own and control your equipment, while we provide the space, power, and network to keep it running. It's the perfect middle ground between full cloud and in-house hosting.
