ENTERPRISE COLOCATION SOLUTIONS
Colocation in Pittsburgh & Metro Columbus
À la carte colocation, from a few rack units to full cabinets, private cages and suites. 99.997% uptime, a SOC 1 Type II audited report, and carriers including Verizon, Lumos, DQE Communications, Cogent, Metro Optical and Fidium Fiber.
When the Server Room Runs Out of Room
Colocation usually starts with a server room that is out of power, cooling or space, or a building that can't get a second carrier. You keep owning your hardware. We provide the space, power, cooling and carriers, and the people who run them.
At The Pittsburgh Technology Bunker that means 1.54 MW of power fed by three utility substations, air cooling with chillers and commercial HVAC systems, and controlled access with continuous monitoring.

What is colocation?
You place equipment you own in our data center. We provide the rack space, power, cooling, carrier connections and physical security.
When does colocation make sense?
Usually when your server room runs out of power, cooling or space, or when you need more than one carrier. You keep owning your hardware, and you can start with a few rack units.

Anything from small configurations through full cabinets, private cages and suites. The Pittsburgh facility has 13,500 sq ft across 3 floors.
Which carriers can I use?
The Pittsburgh facility is carrier-neutral. Carriers in the building include Verizon, Lumos, DQE Communications, Cogent, Metro Optical and Fidium Fiber, and more.
Can someone work on my equipment if I can't get there?
