If you decide to choose our data center for colocation your technology, you might be wondering what happens after order and how the installation process will proceed. Let's walk through these steps together.
Pre-Installation Phase
1) Clarification of Requirements. After your order, we will contact you to go over your specific requirements for the service. Housing is not just about the type of rack or tower server, IP addresses, and connectivity, but also about its power consumption, A/B redundancy, remote access to the server, rails, and cabling. In short, each server is unique in its purpose, operation, and configuration, and that’s how we approach it in our data center.
2) Server Power Consumption. We meet with clients, who are not sure about the exact power consumption of their server. Thanks to our power consumption calculator and similar servers, we estimate your server’s average monthly power consumption. After month measuring of the consumption using an intelligent power socket, we verify this value, and after your approval, change it in order to you only pay for what your server actually consumes.
3) Colo Space Preparation. As soon as all variables have been agreed upon, we begin preparing the space for your equipment. Our technicians will send you the network configuration for your server. This setup, along with your contract and power consumption graphs, will also be available in our unique ControlPanel administration.

4) Add ID and Contract Electronically. Before your arrival, you will need to add your details into our system for security reasons. Without this information, we will not be able to authorize you and grant access to your dedicated space. The colocation contract can be signed electronically and emailed to us, or you can bring a signed document with you on the day of installation along with the server.
5) Free Server Transport and Installation. It depends on you, when and how you would like to deliver the server to us. The data center is open 24/7.
