Edge colocation, managed for you.Your facility, our cluster and our team.
With edge colocation, we design and deploy a hyperconverged cluster in the colocation facility you choose, then manage it around the clock through out-of-band access. Bring your own hardware in Chicago, or let us build it.
Keep your colocation, add a managed cluster.No move required.
You may already have colocation space close to your users, your partners or your other systems. An edge cluster in your colocation space puts single-tenant hyperconverged compute and storage there, without moving into a new facility.
We handle the design, build and daily operations. Your team gets a running cluster and one team to call.
How it works.From design session to managed cluster.
- ConsultWe map your workloads, data, growth and compliance needs, plus the space in your facility.
- DesignYou get a rack elevation, node roles, network and storage design, and a fixed price.
- DeployWe rack, cable, burn in and benchmark every node in your facility, then migrate your workloads.
- Operate24/7/365 monitoring, patching and hardware replacement, managed through out-of-band access.
Bring your own hardware.Colocation in Chicago, managed by us.
Already own servers? Bring your own hardware through colocation in our Chicago data center, and we can manage it alongside the rest of your environment.
- Colocation in Chicago for your hardware
- Optional management by our engineers
- Redundant power, cooling and Tier-1 connectivity
- One team for owned and managed gear
What runs at your site.The same build we use everywhere.
Right-sized rack build
From a custom footprint of 4U to 20U, to a half rack or a full 42U rack.
Hypervisor of your choice
Proxmox VE with Ceph, VMware vSAN or Hyper-V with Storage Spaces Direct, built on what fits.
Out-of-band access
Remote console and power control on a separate network, so we can manage the cluster around the clock.
Self-healing storage
Ceph keeps three copies of every block on different nodes and rebuilds them after a failure.
Questions, answered.
Do you install clusters at our office or on-premises?
No. We deploy in colocation facilities, either one you choose or our own metro data centers, not on customer premises.
How do you manage a cluster in someone else's facility?
Through out-of-band management with remote console and power control, staffed 24/7/365 by U.S.-based engineers.
Can I use my existing servers?
Yes. Bring your own hardware through colocation in Chicago, and we can manage it for you.
Who supports the cluster day to day?
Our U.S.-based engineers, 24/7/365 by ticket and phone. The people who built your cluster are the people who answer the phone.
