Business Case
Why Organizations Choose Colocation
Hardware investment protection
Organizations that have invested in physical server infrastructure can continue leveraging that investment while gaining professional facility services — without the operational burden of maintaining an in-house data center.
Regulatory and compliance requirements
Some regulated industries require on-premises data sovereignty or physical control of hardware. Colocation satisfies infrastructure ownership requirements while providing carrier-grade security and connectivity.
Cost predictability
Colocation carries a fixed monthly cost based on rack space, power, and connectivity — no variable egress fees, storage I/O charges, or licensing premiums. For organizations with stable infrastructure, total cost of ownership is highly predictable.
Removing infrastructure from office environments
Server rooms in office buildings are a common source of operational risk — power inconsistency, HVAC failures, physical access vulnerabilities, and connectivity limitations. Colocation eliminates these risks.
Cost Planning
Predictable Infrastructure Costs
Many organizations evaluate colocation services to improve cost predictability and reduce operational variability. Colocation carries a fixed monthly cost based on rack space, power, and connectivity — there are no variable egress fees, storage I/O charges, or consumption premiums.
Fixed monthly billing
Rack space, power, and connectivity costs are fixed. Budget planning is straightforward — no end-of-month surprises from variable consumption charges.
Hardware investment alignment
Organizations that have invested in physical server infrastructure can continue leveraging that investment in a professional facility without the overhead of an in-house data center.
Defined operational costs
Colocation pricing is aligned to defined resources — rack units, power allocation, and bandwidth tier — making it straightforward to forecast infrastructure expenses over multi-year horizons.
Compliance and control
Physical hardware ownership satisfies data sovereignty requirements in regulated industries. Colocation provides the facility environment without surrendering infrastructure control.
Rack Space Planning
How to Size Your Rack Space
Rack space is measured in rack units (U). Plan for the current deployment plus 20–30% growth capacity to avoid disruptive mid-contract changes.
| Option | Power | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| 1U | 250W | Single server or appliance |
| 2U | 500W | Single server or dual appliances |
| 4U | 1 kW | Small cluster or storage system |
| Quarter Rack | 1.25 kW | Small multi-server + networking |
| Half Rack | 1.5 kW | Mid-scale infrastructure |
| Full Rack | 3 kW | Enterprise / high-density deployment |
Power Planning
Power Allocation and Redundancy
Included power covers standard deployments at the rated rack size. Each colocation deployment includes redundant power feeds from independent utility sources — if one feed fails, your equipment continues on the secondary feed without interruption.
Redundant utility feeds
Independent utility connections eliminate single-point failures at the power source level.
UPS protection
Uninterruptible power supply systems bridge utility interruptions and provide clean power during transitions to generator.
Generator backup
On-site generator capacity maintains operations during extended utility outages.
Connectivity Planning
Bandwidth and Network Access
Bandwidth selection should reflect peak operational demand — not average utilization. Consider replication traffic, backup transfers, remote access sessions, and any public-facing services hosted on colocated equipment.
10 Mbps
Management access, low-volume internal services, or equipment with minimal external connectivity requirements.
100 Mbps
Standard business operations — web services, database access, file transfer, and moderate remote access traffic.
200 Mbps
Multi-server deployments with active replication, VPN gateway workloads, or moderate public-facing services.
500 Mbps
High-throughput workloads — active replication, backup operations, or high-traffic applications.
1 Gbps
Enterprise workloads requiring maximum available bandwidth — large-scale data operations or critical latency-sensitive applications.
Remote Hands Support
On-Site Support Without Travel
Remote hands services provide on-site technicians who can perform physical tasks on your equipment without requiring your staff to travel to the facility.
None
No standing remote hands agreement. Physical access requires scheduling a facility visit or a per-incident remote hands request.
Business Hours Support — $100/month
On-call technician availability during standard business hours for equipment checks, reboots, cable management, and basic troubleshooting.
24x7 Priority Support — $250/month
Around-the-clock remote hands availability including nights, weekends, and holidays — for organizations requiring immediate response outside business hours.
Note: Remote hands labor performed beyond the support agreement is billed separately at $175/hour with a one-hour minimum.
Cost & Operations
Why Organizations Choose Colocation Over Cloud
For organizations with physical hardware investments and stable infrastructure requirements, colocation consistently outperforms cloud on total cost of ownership and operational control.
Cost predictability
Colocation carries a fixed monthly cost based on rack space, power, and connectivity. There are no variable egress fees, storage I/O charges, or per-request billing — making budget forecasting straightforward.
Hardware ownership advantages
Organizations that own their servers continue to leverage that capital investment. Colocation extends the useful life of hardware while eliminating the facility management overhead of in-house server rooms.
Stable workloads don't benefit from elasticity
Public cloud elasticity has real value for variable workloads. Organizations running consistent, predictable server loads gain little from elastic scaling — and pay a premium for resources they don't need.
Operational control
Colocated hardware gives organizations full control over operating systems, security configuration, firmware, and compliance documentation — requirements that shared cloud environments cannot satisfy.
Budgeting visibility
Fixed infrastructure costs simplify financial planning. Finance teams prefer a predictable monthly colocation invoice over variable cloud consumption charges that fluctuate with activity.

FAQ
Colocation Questions
What is server colocation?
Colocation is a service model where your organization owns the physical server hardware and places it in a professional data center facility. The facility provides power, cooling, physical security, network connectivity, and carrier access. You retain full ownership and management control of the equipment. Colocation combines the control and cost efficiency of hardware ownership with the operational advantages of a managed data center environment.
How much rack space do I need?
Rack space requirements depend on the number and form factor of servers and network equipment you need to house. A 1U or 2U deployment covers single-server environments and small appliances. A Quarter Rack (typically 10–12U) accommodates small clusters, network stacks, and storage systems. A Half or Full Rack is appropriate for organizations with growing infrastructure density or multi-server deployments. When sizing, plan for growth — adding rack space mid-contract is operationally disruptive.
What power is included with colocation?
Power allocation is based on rack size and represents the managed power capacity available to your equipment. 1U and 2U deployments include 250W and 500W respectively. Quarter Rack deployments include 1.25 kW, Half Rack 1.5 kW, and Full Rack 3 kW. Power includes redundant utility feed and UPS protection — your equipment is protected from facility-level power events.
What are remote hands services?
Remote hands services provide on-site technical assistance at the colocation facility when your team cannot physically be present. Business Hours Support covers standard operating hours for routine tasks — equipment reboots, indicator light checks, cable management. 24x7 Priority Support extends this coverage around the clock for time-sensitive situations. Remote hands work — labor beyond the support agreement — is billed separately at $175/hour with a one-hour minimum.
Why colocate in the Greater New York region?
Edison, New Jersey sits at the center of the Northeast corridor — the densest concentration of enterprise organizations, financial institutions, healthcare systems, and life sciences companies in the United States. Network latency to both New York City and Philadelphia is minimal. The facility has carrier-dense connectivity with multiple Tier-1 providers, offering diverse upstream paths and redundant connectivity. For organizations headquartered in the Greater New York or Mid-Atlantic region, Northeast colocation minimizes geographic latency to users and business systems.
Does this tool show a live public-cloud price comparison?
No. This estimator calculates a directional IT KORR colocation planning cost from your selected configuration — it does not query or estimate AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud pricing. Actual colocation pricing depends on rack space, power, bandwidth, IP requirements, remote hands, cross-connects, redundancy, and other facility requirements, and comparing colocation with public cloud requires workload-specific TCO analysis rather than a single percentage.
