What is server colocation

Your Hardware. Our Data Center Infrastructure.

Running an in-house server room requires space, power distribution, cooling, connectivity and ongoing maintenance. Server colocation offers an alternative: your business retains ownership of its hardware while deploying it in a professionally managed data center environment.

HostGraber plans colocation deployments in Kolkata around your server dimensions, power requirements, networking needs and expansion plans.

Why colocate

Infrastructure for Your Workloads

Keep control of your equipment while planning facility infrastructure and technical support around your operational needs.

  • Plan infrastructure costs

    Evaluate colocation against the investment needed to build and operate an in-house server room, including power, cooling and facility upkeep.

  • Retain hardware ownership

    Deploy your own compatible servers, storage devices, routers, switches and firewalls while keeping control of your hardware.

  • Plan for expansion

    Assess additional rack space, power allocation and network capacity as your infrastructure requirements change.

  • Access technical assistance

    Use remote hands for approved physical tasks, including reboots, cable checks and basic hardware inspections.

Choosing an approach

In-House, Colocation or Dedicated Server?

Colocation sits between running your own server room and renting provider hardware. The right choice depends on who should own the hardware and who should run the facility.

Colocation insights

Planning a Colocation Deployment: Rack, Power and Network

An overview for IT teams moving hardware into a data center: how to size rack space, what to plan for power and connectivity, and what to prepare before requesting a quote.

Sizing your rack space

Rack space is measured in rack units (U). Start by listing every device you plan to install, its height in rack units and its depth, then allow room for network equipment and future growth.

ConfigurationAllocationTypical fit
1U colocationIndividual rack unitA single server or compact network appliance
Quarter rackPartial rackMultiple servers with supporting network equipment
Half rackPartial rackVirtualisation hosts, databases, storage and applications
Full rackDedicated cabinetLarger hardware deployments
Multiple racksPlanned on requestDeployments that outgrow a single cabinet

For dedicated rack allocations, see rack space rental.

Power and cooling planning

Power is planned from the actual consumption of your equipment, not only its rack height. Share the expected power draw of each device so capacity allocation and any available redundancy arrangements can be reviewed. Cooling requirements are assessed alongside power, since the heat a deployment produces depends on what it draws.

Network and IP planning

Connectivity is planned around your bandwidth requirements, the number of public addresses you need and how your equipment should be networked. Options to discuss include IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, private networking between your servers and cross connects to compatible networks. Address allocation follows applicable allocation policies.

Remote hands scope

Remote hands covers approved physical tasks performed on your behalf, such as server reboots, cable checks, visual inspections and basic hardware assistance. Confirm supported tasks, availability and applicable charges as part of your proposal. For ongoing server administration, server management can be discussed separately.

Preparing a quote request

Sharing a few technical details helps our team understand the scope of your proposed deployment:

  • Number, models and dimensions of servers
  • Estimated power consumption
  • Bandwidth and IP requirements
  • Required rack space and contract duration
  • Network appliances you plan to install

Moving equipment from another facility? Migration services can be planned alongside your colocation deployment.
