All you need to know about Inside Colo Services
Colocation is one of the most dependable and strategic ways for businesses to ensure the performance, scalability, and security of their IT infrastructure. We recognize that uptime and reliability are not optional. They form the foundation of every successful organization that depends on technology to operate efficiently. Our colo services are designed around this principle, combining enterprise-grade facilities, personalized solutions, and an expert team to deliver a hosting experience that truly supports business growth.
We have spent years developing data centers and services that empower businesses of every size. Whether a company needs space for a single server or a custom-built high-density environment to power AI and advanced workloads, we provide the flexibility and performance needed to meet demanding objectives. Our network, infrastructure, and customer support make ColoCrossing the backbone of reliable IT infrastructure.
What Colo Really Provides?
Colocation offers a powerful balance between control and convenience. Businesses maintain ownership and control of their physical servers, but they rely on a professional facility for the environment, power, and connectivity those systems need. Instead of building and maintaining an in-house server room, companies place their equipment in a secure, redundant data center.
At ColoCrossing, our role is to provide the environment that ensures those servers never miss a beat. Each of our facilities is equipped with redundant power systems, enterprise cooling, and multiple network carriers to guarantee continuous operation. Customers can scale up or down as needed without the limitations of on-premises setups.
Colocation remains a critical piece of IT strategy even in a cloud-driven world. The reason is simple. Many organizations require predictable performance, physical security, and consistent costs. Server colo delivers all of that while still allowing for hybrid deployments that work seamlessly with public or private cloud environments.

We operates ten strategically located data centers across the United States, Europe, and Canada, ensuring businesses can deploy their infrastructure exactly where it makes the most sense for performance, compliance, and reach. Our flagship facility in Buffalo, New York, is a major network hub featuring extensive connectivity. We also maintain facilities in major markets including New York City, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, Los Angeles, San Jose, Seattle, Toronto, and Dublin. Each site is built with redundant power, advanced cooling, and diverse network routes, providing the reliability and scalability organizations expect from an enterprise-grade provider. Together, these locations form the backbone of our nationwide and global infrastructure, allowing customers to host closer to their users and maintain consistent performance across regions.
Flexible Space and Fully Custom Setups
One of the core advantages of our colocation services is flexibility. We offer a wide range of space options, from a single server rack to fully custom high-density deployments. Whether your business needs a single unit for a small project or a complete server room’s worth of infrastructure, our facilities can accommodate it. Clients have the ability to design their setup exactly as required, choosing the type of servers, storage configurations, network architecture, and more that aligns with their workload.
Our team works closely with every client to ensure that their colocation setup is optimized for performance, security, and future growth. We recognize that no two businesses are alike, so we provide tailored solutions that support everything from standard server deployments to specialized high-performance computing and artificial intelligence workloads. This level of customization allows businesses to achieve maximum efficiency while maintaining complete control over their hardware and configurations.
Remote Hands and On-Site Support
We understands that sometimes businesses need more than just a secure space. That is why we offer remote hands support at every location. Our trained technical staff can perform tasks such as power cycling equipment, replacing hard drives, racking servers, connecting network cables, and troubleshooting hardware issues on behalf of clients. This service ensures that businesses can resolve issues quickly without needing a staff member physically present in the data center, saving time and reducing operational overhead.
In addition to remote hands, we maintain an inventory of critical spare parts on-site at every facility. This includes common server components, network switches, and other essential hardware that can be replaced immediately if a failure occurs. By keeping spare parts readily available, we reduce downtime risk and allow clients to maintain consistent performance for their applications. This combination of expert support and on-site readiness ensures that businesses have the resources they need to keep their infrastructure running smoothly at all times.
High-Density Colocation for AI and Advanced Workloads
The rise of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data applications has created a demand for high-density colocation environments. These workloads often require racks packed with high-performance servers, GPUs, and storage systems that generate significant power and cooling demands. Our facilities are designed to handle these requirements efficiently.
We provide the infrastructure necessary for high-density deployments, including enhanced power delivery, precision cooling, and network capacity capable of supporting AI, HPC, and other data-intensive workloads. Clients can scale their deployments to accommodate multiple racks of AI servers, ensuring that performance is never compromised by environmental limitations. This focus on high-density support positions us as a reliable partner for organizations exploring cutting-edge technologies and high-performance computing solutions.
Security and Reliability
Security is a foundational aspect of our colocation services. Every facility is equipped with physical security measures including controlled access, 24/7 video surveillance, and on-site security personnel. Access to client equipment is strictly regulated, with logs maintained for accountability and compliance purposes.
Reliability extends beyond security to include redundant power and network systems. Each data center has multiple power feeds, backup generators, and uninterruptible power supplies to ensure continuous operation. Network connections are designed with redundancy, providing multiple carriers and diverse paths to minimize the risk of connectivity disruptions. These measures ensure that clients’ servers remain online and performing optimally, even under challenging conditions.
Connectivity and Network Performance
Performance in colocation is not just about hardware and power. Network connectivity is a key factor that determines latency, speed, and reliability. ColoCrossing’s data centers are connected to multiple Tier 1 and Tier 2 carriers, offering diverse network routes and direct connections to major Internet exchanges. This setup reduces latency and provides higher resilience against network failures, ensuring that your applications and services remain accessible to users worldwide.
Our clients benefit from this robust connectivity whether they are hosting web applications, enterprise software, or cloud-integrated solutions. With our nationwide and international presence, businesses can strategically place servers closer to their end-users or critical partners, optimizing response times and improving overall service quality.
Managed Services and Add-Ons
While colocation primarily provides space, power, and network, many clients also require additional services to simplify operations. ColoCrossing offers a range of managed services and add-ons to complement our core offerings. These include monitoring, managed network configurations, firewall management, DDoS mitigation, and disaster recovery planning. By integrating these services with colocation, businesses gain a comprehensive solution that addresses both infrastructure and operational requirements.
Our services are especially valuable for organizations without large in-house IT teams. By relying on ColoCrossing’s expertise, businesses can maintain high levels of performance and security without the need to hire additional personnel or invest in specialized equipment. This combination of colocation space, remote hands support, on-site spares, and managed services creates a turnkey solution that meets the demands of modern IT operations.
Compliance and Industry Standards
Many organizations are subject to regulatory requirements for their data, including healthcare, finance, and e-commerce sectors. ColoCrossing’s data centers are designed with compliance in mind, helping clients meet standards such as HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001. Physical security, environmental monitoring, and strict access controls contribute to meeting these requirements, while detailed logging and reporting provide transparency for audits and internal governance.
By hosting critical infrastructure with ColoCrossing, businesses can reduce compliance risk while benefiting from a professionally managed facility. Our team works with clients to understand regulatory requirements and implement solutions that align with both legal and operational expectations. This approach ensures that sensitive data is handled securely and that infrastructure deployments support organizational compliance strategies.
Scalability for Growing Businesses
Business needs change rapidly, and IT infrastructure must be able to adapt. ColoCrossing provides scalable colocation solutions that grow with your organization. Clients can start with a single rack or cabinet and expand to multiple racks or high-density deployments as their colo space needs evolve. Our modular approach allows additional power, cooling, and network resources to be provisioned quickly, reducing downtime and simplifying expansion planning.
