DATA4 Group Dedicated cages, (on request) on Colocation

Dedicated cages at DATA4 provide an intermediate step between simple racks and a fully private data hall, aimed at organisations that need clearly defined physical segregation without taking on an entire room. Instead of sharing open rows in a clean room, the customer occupies an area enclosed by a metal grill that defines the cage perimeter and is protected by dedicated access controls such as name badges and biometric readers, which creates a clear, auditable boundary around their infrastructure. Within this cage, the number of racks, the way they are arranged and the associated power profile can all be adapted to project requirements, with typical available power ranges from around 60 kW up to 900 kW, so the same space can support a mix of traditional enterprise workloads and denser compute clusters. Because cabling and patching can be organised inside the cage according to customer standards, it becomes easier to implement your own zoning policies, colour coded cabling or structured separation between client environments, while still relying on the room level cooling and power distribution managed by DATA4. This type of design works well for service providers that host multiple end customers on the same platform, enterprises consolidating several regional server rooms into one secure location, or any company whose internal security policy requires a physically segregated footprint in the data center. There is no public pricing grid for dedicated cages; power size, cage layout, connectivity options and contractual commitments are all defined during the design phase so that the commercial proposal reflects the operational reality of the project.

DATA4 colocation and dedicated infrastructure solutions are delivered on large European campuses that combine electrical power reserves, connectivity and support services in a single environment. Each campus brings together highly connected carrier and cloud ecosystems, dark fibre and Ethernet links between sites, and access to more than seventy telecom operators and over one hundred and fifty public cloud destinations, so even a single rack can be integrated into complex hybrid or multi cloud architectures. Customers rely on 24x7 access controls, on site security teams, video surveillance and strict badge based access lists to protect their environments, while logistics options such as shared or dedicated offices, meeting rooms and staging areas make it easier for engineers to work close to the IT rooms. A dedicated customer portal based on ITIL concepts centralises service requests, remote hands tasks, access management, incident tracking and capacity and environmental dashboards, helping teams manage distributed infrastructures without keeping staff permanently on site. Across campuses in France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Germany and Greece, the platform is promoted as a hyper connected, resilient and environmentally responsible choice for long term digital growth, with attention paid to energy performance indicators and the environmental footprint of both building infrastructure and hosted IT equipment.
