Put your servers in a proper data center and stop depending on a closet
We compare facilities for your footprint, negotiate, and run the move: hardware audit, rack layout, cross-connects and cutover.
Free consultation, no obligation. Answered 24/7 by Juni Assist, our own AI receptionist.
We source & manage. Delivered and supported by the provider you choose. We compare options, coordinate setup and stay your point of contact. You pay the provider, and the provider compensates us. How we work
Who this is for
- Businesses with servers on-site that need better power, cooling and connectivity
- Teams with steady workloads that are cheaper to run on their own hardware
- Organizations with data or compliance needs that rule out some cloud options
Why a server closet stops being good enough
Power, cooling and connectivity are what a data center sells. A closet has none of the redundancy.
One power failure away from an outage
A single circuit, no generator, and a cooling unit that was not built for it. Data centers have redundant power and cooling.
A cloud bill for steady workloads
Cloud is flexible, but steady, predictable workloads can cost less on owned hardware in colocation.
Moving is the scary part
People delay because the migration looks risky. A planned move with rehearsal and rollback is routine.
What we do, step by step
Size your footprint
Power draw, rack space, connectivity and growth.
Shortlist facilities
Compare locations and terms for your needs.
Negotiate
Pricing, term, power and cross-connect charges.
Plan the move
Hardware audit, rack layout, cross-connect orders and cutover plan.
Move and support
Execute the migration with remote hands, then support the environment.

Deliverables you can point to
- A footprint estimate for space, power and bandwidth
- A shortlist with a plain comparison
- A migration plan with a rollback path
- Cross-connects and remote hands arranged
- One contract and one contact for the environment
Timeline
Contracting and cross-connect lead times usually set the schedule.
- Facility selection is quick once the footprint is known
- Cross-connects and circuits need lead time
- The physical move is scheduled for a low-traffic window
What it typically costs
A standard 47U cabinet with 5kW power runs $800-2,500 per month depending on the market; cross-connects add $200-400 per month each.

Common questions about Colocation
Why colocate when there's AWS?
Cloud is great for variable workloads. Colo is better when you have steady-state compute, large data volumes, regulatory constraints, or specialized hardware (GPU clusters, telephony, broadcast). Most enterprise stacks are hybrid — we help you draw the line.
How much does a cabinet cost?
A standard 47U cabinet with 5kW power runs $800-2,500/mo depending on the market — Northern Virginia and Silicon Valley are top tier; Phoenix, Atlanta, and Dallas are 30-50% cheaper. Cross-connects add $200-400/mo each.
Can you handle the migration from my closet?
Yes — we run move projects end-to-end: hardware audit, rack-and-stack design, cross-connect ordering, on-site migration, and first 30 days of remote-hands inclusive.
Do I need to be near the data center?
Not usually. Remote hands staff handle physical tasks, and most management is done over the network. Location matters more for latency and for where you need to connect.
What is remote hands?
Technicians at the facility who can power-cycle a server, swap a drive or check cabling on your instructions, so you do not need to travel.
Can I keep a cloud presence as well?
Yes. Many environments are hybrid, with colocation for steady workloads and cloud for burst capacity, connected over a private link where needed.
