Why Colovore?
Because our unrivaled power densities, pricing model, and incredible service optimize your I.T. deployments.
We solve these five common and critical colocation challenges:
1. Optimizing Your I.T. Footprint
Problem: You can only fill your racks half or quarter-full with modern servers
In a Legacy Colo
- Only designed to support 100-150 watts per square foot or 3-5 kW per cabinet
- Your 100 kW are spread across 20 cabinets that are only ½ to ¼ full
- You pay for and manage lots of empty, unusable, wasted space
In Colovore
- Every cabinet supports 35 kW of power and cooling, wall-to-wall
- Your 100 kW deployment only requires 3 fully-packed cabinets
- Your I.T. footprint is ideal: dense and compact
- Your operating efficiency and application performance are optimized
2. HPC / AI / GPU Server Deployments
Problem: Your HPC system draws 1 kW per server rack unit but you don’t have enough power and cooling
In a Legacy Colo
- With a single GPU card drawing 300 watts by itself, your legacy colo can’t support an HPC deployment due to power and cooling constraints
- You can only deploy 5 rack units of HPC infrastructure in 1 cabinet as a result—impossible to scale
- And the more space/ distance required, the worse HPC applications perform
In Colovore
- Our data center is specifically engineered to handle HPC / AI / GPU server power and heat loads
- We utilize modern, robust liquid cooling that handles 35 kW in every cabinet
- NVIDIA has certified us as DGX-Ready and we have ~ 1,000 DGX 1s and 2s running
- Deploy and scale your HPC in contiguous cabinets and face no power, cooling, or distance limitations
3. Efficiently Scaling Your I.T. Infrastructure
Problem: Your legacy data center has serious space, power, and cooling constraints and you are stuck
In a Legacy Colo
- Your I.T. infrastructure is growing rapidly
- But with only 3-5 kW per rack, you can’t pack your racks full with servers
- There is limited floor space available, with power and cooling constraints
- You’re stuck, with limited options and a lack of control over future growth
In Colovore
- With 35 kW available in every cabinet, you have lots of built-in power available from day 1
- Start with 10 kW, or 20 kW… plenty of expansion space within your cabinet remains!
- Scaling is easy and stress-free, requiring little incremental floor or rack space
- You can plan your I.T. future and roadmap with confidence
4. Reducing Your T.C.O.
Problem: You are getting gouged by your colo with tons of unnecessary and costly expenses
In a Legacy Colo
- You pay for 100% of the power per circuit delivered, whether you use 1% or 100% of it
- You pay unnecessary monthly cross-connect and rack-fees
- A simple 5-minute remote hands inquiry gets billed for an entire hour
- Deploying a high-density footprint requires expensive customization fees
- Spreading out your servers means more cabling and switching costs plus monthly circuit, rack, and cross-connect fees
In Colovore
- Pay as you go: 1 kW at a time, matching your costs directly with actual growth in power consumption
- Our all-in-one pricing scheme includes everything: rack, power, circuit, in-cabinet PDUs, cooling, cross-connects, and smart hands (during business hours); no add-ons, hidden fees or “gotchas!”
- Deploying more densely = savings in capital expense (fewer racks, top of rack switches and cabling)
- Deploying more densely = savings in opex (power efficiencies and maintenance of smaller footprint)
- Colovore = lowest TCO in Bay Area colocation
5. You Aren’t Colocation Experts And Need More Support
Problem: You can only find a security guard, but no actual I.T. operations staff, onsite at your colo
In a Legacy Colo
- Typically most physical positions at a data center are outsourced (security and operations)
- Staffing tends to be with junior, less-experienced professionals who are more real-estate than I.T.
- Any time you call, you are charged remote/smart hands fees but these are for mostly trivial actions
- There is no partnership created between your I.T. staff and the colocation facility
In Colovore
- We are experienced I.T. and web infrastructure professionals, not real estate developers
- We take great pride in partnering with your I.T. teams and helping out any way we can
- DBAs, CCIE Network engineers, and Sys Admins are onsite daily at our facility and available to help at no charge during business hours
- We ensure your I.T. operations success, 24-7
