Colocation and Dark Fiber

Carrier-neutral data center space with redundant power, precision cooling, and direct fiber access for your most demanding infrastructure.

Physical Infrastructure Built for Enterprise

Colocation gives your organization the benefits of a world-class data center without the capital expenditure of building and maintaining your own facility. Axel Networks operates carrier-neutral colocation facilities with the physical security, power redundancy, and cooling infrastructure that enterprise workloads require.

Our colocation customers range from organizations housing a few racks of critical equipment to those building out private cloud environments across full cages. Every deployment includes the same power, cooling, and connectivity standards.

Power and Cooling

All facilities operate on N+1 UPS and generator configurations with A and B power feeds to every rack. Average power usage effectiveness (PUE) is below 1.4. Precision cooling maintains temperature and humidity within tight tolerances regardless of server load.

Connectivity Options

As a carrier-neutral facility, you have access to multiple internet service providers and network operators through a shared meet-me room. Axel Networks can also provide lit services directly into your cage, including DIA circuits from 1Gbps to 100Gbps and cross-connects to major cloud on-ramp providers.

Dark Fiber

For organizations that require dedicated physical fiber between locations, data centers, or to cloud exchange points, we offer dark fiber on routes across our fiber network. You control the wavelengths, the equipment, and the traffic, without sharing a strand with any other customer.

Cage Sizes Quarter, half, full, custom
Power Density Up to 30kW per cabinet
Power Config N+1 UPS, dual feeds
PUE Below 1.4

Who uses Colocation and Dark Fiber?

Private Cloud Infrastructure

Host your VMware or Hyper-V cluster in a secure, well-connected facility without building your own data center.

Disaster Recovery

Network Core Equipment

Core routers, switches, and firewalls belong in a facility with redundant power, not in a server room.

Financial Trading Infrastructure

Low-latency cross-connects to exchanges and prime brokers in the same carrier-neutral facility.

Interconnection Hub

Connect to cloud providers, CDNs, and peering partners through a single well-connected facility.

Dark Fiber Customers

Terminate your dark fiber routes in a colocation facility with direct onward connectivity to cloud and internet.

Your infrastructure deserves a proper home.
