Colocation

Server colocation is a service where a customer places their own servers in a professional data center, using the provider's infrastructure, power, cooling, and network connectivity.

Colocation is ideal for companies that need a secure and reliable environment for their servers but prefer to manage their own hardware rather than using dedicated servers.

Using colocation at k.pl provides access to professional infrastructure, redundant power and cooling systems, advanced security, and high-speed network connections. Customers retain full control over their hardware while benefiting from a reliable colocation environment.

The service includes housing servers in dedicated space, power supply, cooling, physical and network security, and access to high-speed internet. Additional services such as monitoring and remote support are also available.

k.pl offers colocation for tower servers, partial rack space rental, full rack cabinet rental, and dedicated spaces (e.g. kiosks or private rooms - Data Room).

1U is a server height unit, measuring 1.75 inches (about 4.45 cm). In colocation, you can rent space for servers in U units or larger, allowing flexible accommodation of your hardware needs.

The equipment must meet the dimensions and technical specifications required by the data center, such as the size of the server (U) and power and cooling requirements.

The minimum space you can rent is typically one 1U unit, making the service accessible even to smaller companies or organizations.

k.pl offers redundant power with UPS systems and backup generators, ensuring uninterrupted server operation even in case of power outages.

Yes, k.pl offers technical support for colocation clients, including infrastructure monitoring, remote support, and "remote hands" services that enable technical interventions on-site without the need for personal visits.

The cost of colocation depends on the size of the space rented (number of U units, rack cabinets), power consumption, bandwidth, and additional services. For a detailed quote, it is recommended to contact our customer advisor.

Yes, colocation is scalable. You can easily increase your colocation space by renting additional U units, rack cabinets, or even entire rooms as needed.

To start, you need to contact k.pl, discuss your requirements, and then deliver your servers to the data center where they will be installed and configured. You can send an email to contact@k.pl or call us at +48 71 712 78 00.

Colocation reduces infrastructure costs and provides better security and reliability thanks to professionally managed data centers. It also offers scalability without the need to expand your own resources and provides access to faster and more stable internet connectivity. This allows the company to focus on core activities rather than managing a server room.

Yes, physical access to the server is possible, usually by scheduling an appointment in advance. Our data center offers 24/7 access while following security procedures.

You should consider the reliability of infrastructure (power, cooling, connectivity), level of security, availability of technical support, scalability options, and costs.

Colocation allows you to reduce costs associated with building and maintaining your own server room, offers reliability, security, and the ability to manage your own hardware in a professional environment.

Colocation is cost-effective for companies that need full control over their hardware but want to avoid the costs of building their own data center. The service allows for flexible scaling and reduced operational costs.

To purchase the colocation service, you need to contact our sales department. The next step will be signing a contract and delivering the equipment to the data center.

The colocation setup time depends on the availability of infrastructure and the readiness of the equipment, but we are able to complete the process in as little as one day.

Colocation prices are fixed for the duration of the contract. The only variable is the cost of electricity.
