*📜 Plan description
Half Rack is a colocation package designed for customers who need a substantial footprint for multiple servers and network gear, while keeping the deployment within a defined rack-unit boundary and power allocation.
Included resources and baseline allocation - Rack space: 21 rack units - Power: 2.4 kW allocation - Connectivity: 100 Mbps bandwidth/port - Data usage posture: positioned with unlimited data messaging (no published data cap)
Who this is for - Businesses operating multiple servers (compute, storage, and application tiers) that want to consolidate into a single controlled colocation footprint. - Service providers, MSPs, or internal IT teams that need room for routing, switching, firewalls, and multiple application servers in one location. - Organizations that require a scalable but bounded deployment, where 21U is enough for a mature stack without moving immediately to a full rack.
Facility and architecture advantages - Multi-path BGP-peered networking is positioned to support redundancy, load balancing, and consistent performance for business-critical applications. - Power resiliency is positioned with automatic fail-over power systems, battery backup, and diesel generator support for uninterrupted operations. - Advanced monitoring, power conditioning, and temperature control support stable operating conditions for dense equipment deployments.
Security and governance - Strong physical security is positioned with key-fob access and detailed logging, building security integration, and video-recorded entry. - Access policies can be structured as escorted or unescorted based on customer operational standards.
Customization and expansion options - Networking structures can be tailored between racks and with associated services, and custom power receptacles can be arranged to match equipment requirements. - Specialized needs such as non-standard equipment accommodation or rooftop connectivity can be supported when required. - The offering supports flexibility in ISP strategy, including the ability to bring your own ISP.
Operational support - Extensive support is positioned as available 24/7 to assist with setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting, supporting teams that do not have local staff in the facility. - Simple actions such as reboots are positioned as rapidly actionable through support processes.
Half Rack is an effective colocation size when you want meaningful capacity and resilience features, combined with professional facility controls and the ability to customize connectivity and power details.
Colocation is delivered from an Edmonton-based facility with a multi-path BGP-peered network and resiliency features such as automatic fail-over power, battery backup, and diesel generator; the environment emphasizes advanced monitoring, temperature control, strong physical security, and high customization (including power, networking, non-standard gear, rooftop connectivity, and bring-your-own-ISP options) with 24/7 support availability, while maintaining a service culture focused on expert technicians, minimal escalation loops, and payments handled online or by phone.
📄 Editorial Review
The Internet Centre (incentre.net) is a long-running regional telecom and hosting provider based in Edmonton, Alberta (Canada). Their background goes back to 1993, when the business started as CCI Networks, and they emphasize a locally operated network and operations team rather than outsourced support.
The product catalog is broader than hosting alone. Alongside residential and business Internet and phone/VoIP services, their hosting lineup covers the core infrastructure blocks most small-to-mid business customers look for: web hosting, virtualized hosting (VPS-style), and colocation. For customers who want an "all-in-one" setup, they also provide domain registration and DNS management, with a single portal used for ordering and account management.
Business web hosting is offered in three tiers—Domain Basic, Domain Plus, and Domain Max—built around practical resource allowances like storage, email accounts, and SQL databases. This is positioned as a straightforward shared hosting option for company websites, small applications, and typical business email + database use.
Business virtual hosting adds a more server-like footprint, with packages that clearly define compute and memory. The entry level Virtual Standard starts at 1 core / 2 GB RAM / 10 GB storage, then scales to Virtual Plus at 2 cores / 4 GB RAM / 200 GB storage, and Virtual Max at 4 cores / 8 GB RAM / 500 GB storage. This tiering is useful for customers moving beyond basic shared hosting into workloads that need more isolation and predictable resources.
Colocation is available in rack-unit and rack bundles, with options such as per-unit, half rack (21U), and full rack (42U) footprints. The emphasis here is on redundant network and power design plus hands-on operational support that can handle practical requests (including immediate actions like reboots).
