Colocation.
 A safe environment for your IT systems.


Server Housing is an attractive option for companies that want to operate their server infrastructure in a secure, scalable and cost-efficient manner. Benefiting above all:

• Companies that need highly available network infrastructure, power supply and carrier connectivity.
• Companies that need to scale their server infrastructure to keep up with the growth of their website or business.
• Businesses that don't have the resources or expertise to run their own data center.
• Businesses that already own servers or systems and need the infrastructure to meet the high security standards of GDPR compliance.
• Companies that need to demonstrate an ISO-certified environment.
• Companies that want to rely on 24/7 onsite support without having to organize it themselves.

Prior to migrating servers to our data center, an orientation is provided by the trained InterNetX data center team. However, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• Appointments for access as well as biometric registration of authorized persons must be announced at least 24 hours in advance.
• Emergency access to the colocation area is, of course, possible at any time, even without InterNetX employees, provided that a lockable rack has been booked.
• In order to make optimal use of the climate concept of the cold aisle containment, only rack servers (19") can be installed. The unused slots should therefore be covered to avoid a loss of cooling capacity.
• No additional items (tools, spare parts, foils, etc.) may be stored in the rack, as these represent a fire load. These are welcome to be stored in the office.
• For single height units InterNetX provides a split switch with 1 Gbit/s (copper). Booking of the redundant uplink is recommended.
• For lockable racks, you can choose the switch yourself. Please let us know in advance if you want fiber singlemode or multimode (recommended) or copper. For a redundant uplink the switches must support LACP. For a redundant uplink in combination with two switches, they must support stacking.

For an order via InterNetX please contact our sales department at sales@internetx-housing.com. You are also welcome to send us our order form directly here.

Before installing the server, some points should be considered in advance:

• Shared racks (single rack units) have a C14 power strip. If cables are connected appropriately, the A/B feed can be used (recommended).
• Red CEE-16A three-phase plugs are preinstalled in the racks by default. Switched and metered PDUs (power distribution unit) can be booked optionally.
• Own PDUs can be used after consultation. If no PDUs are used, C14 power strips are installed: six in a full rack, two in a thirdracks (one per phase).
• Additional items (tools, spare parts, foil etc.) may not be stored in the rack as these constitute a fire hazard. Please feel free to store these in the office.
• A monitor cart and stepladder are available for general use. The "Unpack & Deploy" room, including wifi, can be used for free for preparatory work.

As oposed to hosting, for which the calculation for invoicing is based on volume, for colocation the calculation is based on bandwidth. In the "95/5 principle", measuring points are determined over the whole month, from which 5 % of the highest values are deducted before invoicing. This means that the short-lived peaks are taken out of the equation and the consumption curve is flattened to the advantage of the customer. The booked uplink of e.g. 1 Gbit/s is available without restrictions.You can view your current traffic statistics via ISAC, the exact monthly invoicing is billed retrospectively.

The InterNetX Data Center is conveniently located in Munich. Free parking spaces are available directly in front of the building. 

If no biometric registration has been carried out, you will be accompanied by an employee when entering the data center area. If possible, access appointments should be registered 24 hours in advance. An identification document (personal/passport or ID card) must be carried (not required for 24/7 registration).

The data center itself is accessible via a passenger elevator. To use the freight elevator, please register with our staff.

The rack space is ready within a few working days. Optional services, such as dedicated carrier connections, are available by arrangement.

Yes, there are different ways to use IT space when it comes to server housing. The most common options include:

• Shared housing/racks: Several customers share a common rack space.
• Dedicated server housing/racks: customers receive a dedicated, lockable rack for their own servers.
• Managed server housing: the colocation provider takes over additional tasks such as monitoring, maintenance and support.

InterNetX can realize all these variants in its own data center. Please contact us.
