A server room in the office needs air conditioning, a UPS, fire protection and a fast line, and it costs money and time every year. With colocation in Vienna you keep your own hardware and still use one of the largest and best-connected data centres in Austria. We take care of space, power, cooling and connectivity, and you manage your systems remotely as usual.

Renting rack space in Vienna: which size fits?
Whether it is a single server or your entire infrastructure: you rent exactly as much space as you need.
- Individual rack units: for one or a few servers, a firewall or a backup system.
- Quarter or half rack: for a small server environment with switch, firewall and storage.
- Full rack: for your entire infrastructure or for hosting providers.
- High-density rack: for GPU servers and other hardware with very high power draw.
We work out together how much space and power you actually need. We also find a solution for very high power requirements, and if your needs grow, your rack space grows with them.

Connectivity via our own network
With us you get rack space and internet connectivity from a single source. Our router sits in the same data centre and is directly connected to the most important internet exchanges in Vienna. For all other destinations we use several international carriers: if one fails, the others take over automatically.

Test for yourself how fast your hardware in Vienna reaches your office or your customers, with ping, traceroute or MTR in our looking glass. Everything about exchanges and carriers is on our network page.
Your own AS, BGP and cross-connects
You run your own network? With your own AS number and your own IP addresses, you announce your prefixes via BGP over our network AS215120. Cross-connects within the data centre, for example to other carriers, are possible as well. This makes colocation in Vienna a good fit for network operators, ISPs and hosting providers too.

- Businesses whose data has to stay in Austria for compliance reasons

Colocation or renting a server?
Colocation pays off if you already own hardware, need special components or want to run your servers yourself in the long term. If you would rather not buy hardware, rent a dedicated server in the same Vienna data centre, optionally as a managed server with updates, monitoring and backups. We also offer colocation in Berlin and Frankfurt. All locations at a glance on our colocation page.
