Colocation

Colocate your infrastructure and connect to the UK’s leading Internet exchange from the same location. With our colocation services, you get faster response times, simpler management, and consolidated costs.

Colocation helps businesses maintain access to their IT infrastructure while offloading management overheads, and cooling and power costs.

Colocation with LINX offers all those benefits, plus a single place for you to host your infrastructure and connect to the UK’s leading internet exchange and interconnection platform.

By working closely with our data centre partners, we can help LINX members consolidate their infrastructure and connectivity to reduce the number of suppliers they deal with, minimise administrative burden, and simplify support.

 

Benefits of colocation

  • Consolidate costs through one service fee instead of paying separate costs for cooling and power
  • Reduce risk with 24/7 security, managed access, and a reliable, maintained and monitored climate-controlled rack space
  • Maintain consistent service levels with a fully-resilient, high-availability power infrastructure

 

Why colocate with LINX?

  • Get more flexible colocation options – we negotiate on behalf of members to get them exactly what they need – from quarter racks to full, dedicated suites.
  • Bring your infrastructure and connectivity together – put your hardware and connectivity in the same place for easier management, peering with other LINX members and direct connectivity to Cloud Providers and many other services
  • Simpler support and service – with just one number to call, you get faster resolution to any issues and can seamlessly scale services up and down.

Additional services

Remote hands

Our data centre locations offer remote hands services. These include simple technical functions like visual checks and powering equipment off and on.

Members can order a remote hands service through the LINX NOC, but they must be registered with LINX and be authorised to raise orders. Each data centre has its own charging scheme, so prices may vary.

Security

Security is always a top priority for our data centre partners – especially when it comes to who has access. To ensure we keep colocation sites safe, members must book access to LINX colocation sites through their NOC.

LINX holds a list of member-nominated individuals that require access, and those members must give 24 hours’ notice before they arrive on-site and produce some form of photo-ID to gain access.
