Server collocation is a service consisting in placing servers or other ICT devices in dedicated collocation chambers in one of several Netia Data Centers. The collocation chambers were made to ensure continuity of power supply, optimal climatic conditions (temperature, air humidity), physical and fire safety, monitoring and access to Netia's network.

As part of the server collocation service, you can rent a rack cabinet or a single module in a rack cabinet, depending on the current business needs. Using economies of scale, the service allows you to achieve a higher level of security than in your own server room, while reducing IT costs (e.g. related to the employment of IT specialists). What's more, colocation centers provide better protection against power failures due to the redundancy of the systems. They also guarantee faster recovery of the system in the event of a failure thanks to numerous data backups and fast network solutions. Companies that decide to co-locate servers receive in the package:

- Lower costs of energy and fast internet connection, resulting from better price conditions in the case of a large energy consumer, such as Netia, and from sharing costs with other tenants.
- Fast, reliable and redundant network connection 24/7/365,
using high-quality fiber optic cables.
- Physical, electrical and environmental safety.
- Safety certificates.
- Long-term stability, flexibility and scalability.
- 24/7 remote technical support.

As part of the server collocation service, you can:
- lease a collocation chamber in one of Netia's Data Centers
- lease the Rack Module, consisting of a 47U rack cabinet
- reserve a Rack Module, i.e. select a specific rack cabinet or space for one rack that cannot be leased to another entity for the duration of the contract
- lease the U Module, consisting of a 1U space in a shared 47U rack cabinet
- reserve the U Module in a specific place with a height of 1U in a shared rack cabinet, which cannot be leased to another entity for the duration of the contract
- separate reserved and leased Rack Modules with a light cage from the ceiling to the proper floor - cages and additional installations (e.g. additional cameras) are priced individually and their cost is added to the installation fee
- use the technical staff support service (Remote Hands)

Companies can flexibly expand the occupied space in the data center, instead of investing in costly infrastructure expansion, or reduce it when the situation requires it. This is especially important for new, developing companies that can use the saved funds for their own development. The minimum colocation space that can be rented in Netia's Data Center is a 1U module.

Server colocation services involve fixed fees for the available space in the data center. This space is measured in U units, in the number of leased racks or in the size of the dedicated space.

Note that most servers take 1 to 4 U of the rack. Other costs incurred by the customer are fees for the electricity used, charged in the form of a flat rate or based on meter readings, as well as fees related to the bandwidth and type of telecommunications connection.

Colocation prices depend on many parameters, so please contact our consultants who will propose the best solutions and present an individual calculation.

Electricity can be billed on the basis of a fixed flat fee (Energy Package) or a variable fee depending on actual consumption (Measurement Fee). Settlement takes place on a monthly basis. Irrespective of the method of settling electricity under the Server Collocation Service Order, the Reserved Power Allocation for each Module must be declared, as the total power allocation for the collocation chamber is limited.
