Provisioning Colocation

Colocation services are provisioned by the NetActuate team on your behalf. There is no self-service deployment wizard — colocation requires a consultation to determine cabinet size, power requirements, cross-connect needs, and network configuration.

Requesting Colocation

To get started with colocation at a NetActuate facility:

  1. Contact your account manager directly, or open a support ticket from the portal at Support → Submit Ticket.
  2. Include the following in your request:
    • Target facility or region
    • Cabinet or rack space requirements
    • Power requirements (amps, circuits, redundancy)
    • Cross-connect or network connectivity needs (BGP, IP Transit, VLAN, direct connect to other providers)
    • Any specific compliance or physical security requirements
  3. The NetActuate team will work with you to scope and provision the colocation environment.

You can also reach NetActuate directly via chat or by emailing support@netactuate.com.

After Provisioning

Once your colocation environment is active, navigate to Infrastructure → Colocation in the portal to:

  • View your cabinet lock code and facility access details
  • Review assigned IP subnets and network configuration
  • Monitor BGP peering details (your ASN and NetActuate's ASN)
  • View historical bandwidth usage reports
  • Check maintenance announcements and service status

For details on the portal dashboard sections, see the Colocation Overview.
