Cogent Data Centers Colocation, (on request) on Colocation

Cogent Data Centers is a carrier-grade colocation service built for business-critical equipment and private infrastructure deployments. The service is delivered from Cogent-owned facilities in North America and Europe and is structured around secure space, power, cabling, environmental controls, and direct connectivity to Cogent's backbone. Standard rack configuration centers on 42U cabinets with 110V/20A power, while the broader colocation portfolio also supports 1/2 rack, full rack, and cage footprints for customers that need different equipment density and growth paths. Facility features include redundant power, fire detection and suppression, access control, temperature and humidity control, and local support teams for day-to-day operational coordination. Connectivity options include Ethernet port speeds of 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 10 Gbps on the data center page, while the wider colocation portfolio also references 100 Gbps connectivity. The service is well suited to backup environments, production servers, application hosting, and network edge deployments. Application fit includes corporate use cases that need production or backup servers away from the office, as well as internet businesses that need secure colocation for IT and networking equipment and fast access to hosted data. The published footprint spans 100 Cogent data centers, including 80 in North America and 20 in Europe, and the visible country coverage includes the United States, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Several locations are also tied to utility computing availability, giving customers an additional infrastructure path in selected markets.

Colocation as a product group is aimed at organizations building private cloud, disaster recovery, hybrid infrastructure, or bandwidth-heavy internet services. Monitoring runs 24x7x365, customer support is available 24 hours a day, and regional support desks operate across North America and Europe with phone and email assistance. The network SLA references 100% network availability, 99.9% packet delivery, proactive outage notification for qualifying services, and round-trip latency targets such as less than 45 ms within North America. The installation guarantee section also references a 17 business day commitment for colocation in Cogent data centers, subject to order validation, access readiness, and normal installation conditions. The wider colocation estate exceeds 1,903,772 square feet of data center space and is directly connected to Cogent's global fiber network, allowing customers to combine colocation with dedicated internet access, IP transit, Ethernet point-to-point, and VPLS connectivity on the same operator backbone. The overall service profile fits customers that need secure facilities, scalable network access, strong backbone reach, and local provisioning support without relying on office-based server deployments.
