Why NetActuate Colocation

Tier 1 Network Connectivity

Connect to one of the largest BGP-peered networks in the world. Your colocated hardware gains access to the same Tier 1 upstream bandwidth that powers 60% of the world's top-level domains.

Carrier-Neutral Facilities

Deploy in carrier-neutral data centers with access to cross-connects, IX points, and direct connections to other providers all without being locked into a single network.

Flexible Rack Options

Choose from quarter, half, or full rack configurations to match your density requirements. Power options include metered and flat-rate billing with redundant circuits.

BGP Peering and Cross-Connects

Add BGP peering sessions and cross-connects directly from your colocation environment. Integrate with IX points, cloud on-ramps, or other NetActuate services without extra complexity.

Remote Hands Support

On-site support is available for physical hardware tasks, including racking, cabling, power cycling, and more with quick support response.

Unified Portal Visibility

Monitor bandwidth, view network health, manage BGP sessions, and track service status across all your colocation sites from a single portal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is colocation?

Colocation is a service that lets you house your own physical servers and networking equipment in a shared data center facility. You own and manage the hardware. The facility provides the space, power, cooling, physical security, and network connectivity.

What rack sizes are available?

NetActuate offers quarter, half, and full rack options in carrier-neutral facilities across 45+ global locations. Power requirements and cross-connect needs are scoped during the provisioning consultation.

Is there a self-service portal to provision colocation?

Colocation is provisioned by the NetActuate team based on your requirements. Getting started begins with a conversation about your hardware, power, connectivity, and compliance needs. Once your environment is active, it is managed through the standard portal.

Can I add BGP peering or cross-connects to my colocation environment?

Yes. NetActuate supports BGP peering sessions and cross-connects from your colocation environment, including connections to IX points and other providers. These are configured during provisioning and can be adjusted as your needs change.

What remote hands services are available?

On-site support is available for physical tasks including racking, cabling, hardware swaps, power cycling, and visual inspection. Remote hands requests are handled by our support team and can be submitted through the portal.

Can I integrate colocated hardware with other NetActuate services?

Yes. Colocated hardware can connect directly to NetActuate VMs, bare metal, BGP Anycast, Cloud Routers, and other platform services within the same network environment and managed from the same portal.
