As of 8/2024, we no longer offer shared colo because we now offer a 2U lockable cabinet that the Coloinseattle team designs in-house.

• 2U dedicated lockable cabinet is the smallest colo we offer.
• If you are interested in getting a 2U colo in another datacenter that does not yet have this kind of 2U lockable cabinet, please let us know so we can install our 2U cabinet there for you to use.

We offer the following:

• 2U locking cabinet
• 6U locking cabinet
• 10U locking cabinet
• 20U locking cabinet
• 42U locking cabinet
• 48U locking cabinet

Yes, we do.

• By default, our cabinet is designed for a 5kw load. However, we can customize and reconfigure our datacenter to support up to 20kw per cabinet.
• If you need more than 20kw/cab, we can design and build a colo space based on your requirement. No requirement is too big for us 🙂

Most definitely! Our datacenter is set up with redundancy in mind. Our UPS infrastructure is set up as 2N, so you get power from UPS-A and a separate power feed from UPS-B.

Yes, we offer such a service by installing an electronic lock on your cabinet. This way, you will know who opened it and when.

Yes, you can access your cabinet 24/7 via biometric and keycard access.

Yes, we have cameras at every entrance and throughout the datacenter.

Yes, you can get more power in your colo space.

We usually need 3 business days to prepare, but if you have an urgent need, we can prepare something within the same day.

Absolutely! We have 100% SLA (Service Level Agreement) for power and cooling and 99.99% uptime for the network.

Yes, we are SOC-2 audited and PCI compliant. We can help you meet your company’s requirements regarding HIPAA, PCI, and others.

Yes, we can provide unmetered bandwidth for 1 Gig, 10Gig, or 100Gig.

We offer 95%tile or Data Transfer calculation.

Yes, please visit this page.

Absolutely! If you have a carrier that still needs to be put in our datacenter, we will provide the required cabinet space for them free of charge for the first year.

You can choose from month-to-month to a multi-year contract. The choice is yours. Our most important currency is SERVICE. If you use our colo, we know you will love it, so we only require you to have a long-term contract if you are comfortable doing so.

Yes, we do, and it’s free.

Yes, you can. There is a fee for it.

Yes, Westin and Tukwila have a diverse dark fiber pair with DWDM. We can deliver 10Gig wave as well as 10Gig and 100Gig transport.

Yes, we do offer OOB. This OOB connection is entirely outside our main network. The provider, the physical hardware, and the cabling are different.

Yes, you can ship our server to our data center. We will rack and label your server for free.

Yes, we provide on-demand KVM/IP free of charge. (10 hours per use – can be extended when needed)

Yes, we provide on-demand consoles free of charge. (10 hours per use – can be extended when needed)

Yes, we can help you completely set up your switch.

There is no monthly fee for cross-connects between your cabinets.

Absolutely! We can interconnect all the major public cloud providers, such as Azure, AWS, GCP, and many other data centers worldwide.

We can assign cat-x or fiber uplink ports (1/10/100Gig ports).

Absolutely! We can provide you with 2 uplinks from our diverse switches for redundancy.

• You should get a switch with the proper airflow direction to keep our cold aisle cold. If you are not picky about what switch to use, please contact us. We stock MANY switches that we can recommend and either sell or rent to you, so you don’t need to worry about sourcing another switch.
• Alternatively, you can install the switch in the correct airflow orientation and plug in the cables from the front of the cabinet.

• Absolutely. If you are within 100 miles of our datacenter (12201 Tukwila Int Blvd, Tukwila, WA 98168), we will even do the physical move for free!
  (Note: Free physical move requires a minimum of full cabinet colo.)
• To give you peace of mind, we have moved over 200 cabinets (thousands of servers) into our datacenter. Some moves involved completely moving the whole cabinet full of servers, while others involved removing the servers from the cabinet and putting them into padded boxes. This applies typically if we are not reusing the cabinet from the originating space.

Yes, we can move servers between 2 offices/data centers that do not belong to Coloinseattle. Let us know your needs, and we will be happy to help!

Yes, let us know what or where you need help.

Absolutely! We once moved thousands of production VMs spread over 15 cabinets (in 1 data center in Kansas City) and consolidated them into 2 cabinets in IGW. Here is the oversimplified version:

1. We create a tunnel between the 2 networks (Kansas City to Seattle) to make both networks 1 network.
2. Move all VMs and re-advertise all IPs in Seattle. In this case, we set up the server, system, security, and network infrastructure and moved the VMs during production.
3. The maximum outage per VM was less than 2 minutes.
4. The move was seamless and unnoticeable by the user.

Our customers worldwide never set foot in our datacenter to rack or troubleshoot their servers. We can do 100% of all the physical aspects of running your colo hardware. We also use 3rd party colo to know what we want or need, and we design or offer such wants or needs to our customers who wish to avoid visiting our DC to take care of their hardware. Things that we can do for you:

1. Rack your servers.
2. Install/IP PDU.
3. Cable all servers.
4. Label all devices.
5. Audit your cabinet.
6. Organize/audit your storage for spare equipment.
7. You can borrow our spare equipment in an emergency (we stock lots of hardware to cover SLA requirements for our private cloud customers).
8. Troubleshoot your server: replace the CPU, RAM, power supplies, and raid controller.
9. Build server.
10. Box up your hardware for outbound delivery.
11. We aim to make it easy for you to operate your computer in our datacenter. Please let us know if you need anything else not listed here.

We have been in business since 2001. The company started in one of the co-founders’ bedroom apartments. We outgrew the T1 within the first month, then moved to a commercial office that became a datacenter with 3 x T1s and a T3 order pending. Unfortunately, T3 never arrived, so we moved to the Westin building in 2003, with unlimited bandwidth. We grew at Westin until we had 90 cabinets. In 2009, we built our own 5,000 sqft datacenter in Tukwila. As of now, we have about 18,000 sqft of datacenter in Tukwila. Both founders are still actively working daily in & on the business. We have grown primarily by caring and servicing our customer’s needs. Our customers can focus on what they do best while we care for their hosting needs! Even after more than 20 years in business, we are just getting started! We want to continue growing and serving more customers, and there is only one way to accomplish that: by providing excellent service. Period!

• Because of all of the above!
• As a privately owned company, we are in a unique position and size—we are big enough to do the job and small enough to care!
• Our mindset is continuously evolving and growing to be better than the previous week! We will always continue improving and innovating towards that goal.
• Last but not least, we provide the best colo experience in Greater Seattle (or anywhere else). We back it up with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you are unsatisfied
