Co-location services are offered in our provider's Kansas City Internet Data Centers (IDCs). The facilities offer significant bandwidth capacity via 6 diverse DS-3 connections. Additionally, we offer Carrier Neutral Facilities (CNF) via our dual OC-12s, allowing customers to order their own private circuits for bandwidth needs.

Clients most often choose our co-location provider for their strong reliability, yet economical pricing. Our colocation plans are reasonably priced, and start at only $600 per month.

Colocate with an Open Rack or Secured Cabinet
Colocation services are available in Open Rack Service (ORS) and Secured Cabinet Solutions (SCS). Our co-location providers currently have over 6,200 square feet of data center space, and co-location customers receive handoffs via the new Category 6 cable with gigabit ethernet over copper capability. 100% Cisco switched networks provide a higher quality of service than most other providers.

Plans and Pricing
All of our co-location plans are custom configurations based on our clients needs. Rather than devising pre-packed solutions, our sales associates provides a needs-assessment for all potential co-location clients. Based on our needs assessment, we will recommend the co-location solution that fits your needs. Below are the considerations for determining your co-location service plan:

• Open Rack or Secured Cabinet
  Open Rack Solution (ORS) is a standard, 19" rack with 2 posts that is not enclosed. By contrast, our Secured Cabinet Solution (SCS) is a 4 post enclosure with a lock-and-key access to your space. Some equipment may need to be rackmounted in a 4-post rack. However, we provide shelves with our Open Rack Service, so you can place this equipment on a shelf rather than needing to purchase Secured Cabinet Service if you wish. As you might expect, Secured Cabinets are more expensive than Open Racks for the same amount of rackspace.
   
• How Much Rackspace Do You Need?
  Typically, this is simple to determine. Just measure the height of your equipment you plan to co-locate, and add them together. Convert your total to inches, then divide by 1.75 and round up. This is the number of rackmount units (RU) you will need for your equipment. We sell our co-location space in rackmount units of 4, 8, 16, 32, 50 for Open Rack Service, and 1/3, 1/2, and full cabinets for Secured Cabinet Solutions. However, consider future growth and additional equipment for your rackspace purchase. Make sure you are allowing room for growth.
   
• How Much Bandwidth Will You Require?
  There will be a minimum amount of bandwidth that you will purchase with your rackspace, called the "committed rate". If your bandwidth needs are less than this minimum, then you need not purchase additional bandwidth. Otherwise, consider purchasing a higher committed rate, as it will save you money rather than paying bandwidth overusage fees. We calculate all of our clients' bandwidth consumption based on the 95th percentile method.
   
• Don't Forget the Extras
  Your rackspace will come with a certain number of IP addresses, shelves, and power outlets. Additional IP addresses, shelves, or additional power and/or special power needs are additional fees. Additional IP addresses and shelves are small costs, additional power consumption can get costly, depending on usage (just like bandwidth). Once you have determined any of the extras you might need, you have completed your custom co-location plan.
