Enterprise Colocation

Enterprise colocation is a data center service where businesses house their servers, networking equipment, and IT infrastructure in a third-party facility, such as an eStruxture data center. The colocation provider supplies the physical space (cabinets, cages, or private suites), power, cooling, physical security, and network connectivity, while the enterprise retains full ownership and control of their hardware and data. This model offers the reliability and security of a purpose-built data center without the capital expense of building and maintaining one. 

Enterprise colocation allows you to host your own fully owned servers within a secure, dedicated location that offers physical and virtualized colocation resources on shared infrastructure managed by the provider. Colocation offers greater control, predictable costs for steady workloads, and compliance flexibility, making it ideal for enterprises with specific security, performance, or regulatory requirements. Many enterprises use a hybrid approach, combining colocation for core workloads with cloud services for variable capacity. 

 eStruxture enterprise colocation facilities are designed to deliver 99.999% uptime (less than 5.26 minutes of downtime per year) through redundant power architecture, including N+1 UPS systems, backup generators, and multiple utility feeds. Our facilities feature 24/7/365 on-site staff, continuous monitoring, and proactive maintenance to ensure your critical infrastructure remains operational. Specific SLA terms are detailed in your service agreement. 

eStruxture offers flexible power options from standard 5kW per cabinet up to 125kW high-density configurations, with additional power available upon request for AI, machine learning, and high-performance computing workloads. Our redundant power architecture includes dual power feeds, N+1 UPS systems, and backup generators to ensure continuous uptime.. 

Yes, every eStruxture data center is fully carrier-neutral, providing access to 30+ on-site network carriers, providing access to a robust ecosystem of network carriers and regional IX's. This neutrality allows enterprises to choose the best connectivity options for their needs, negotiate competitive rates, and implement redundant network paths. Cross-connects to our carrier hotel enable direct, low-latency connections to major cloud providers, internet exchanges, and business partners. 

 eStruxture operates enterprise colocation facilities across four major Canadian markets: Montreal (MTL-1 through MTL-5), Toronto (TOR-1 through TOR-5), Vancouver (VAN-1 through VAN-3), and Calgary (CAL-1 through CAL-3). With hundreds of MWs of power capacity, eStruxture is Canada's largest data center platform, offering strategic locations for redundancy, disaster recovery, and serving Canadian and North American markets. 

Yes, eStruxture facilities are designed to support AI, machine learning, and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads with high-density power options, advanced cooling systems, and low-latency connectivity to major cloud providers. Our carrier-neutral ecosystem enables direct connections to GPU cloud services, AI platforms, and data sources essential for training and inference workloads. 

Yes, eStruxture provides 24/7/365 remote hands support through our on-site team of network engineers, electricians, and technicians. Services include equipment installation and decommissioning, cabling, visual inspections, power cycling, and emergency response. This allows enterprises to manage their infrastructure remotely while having expert support available whenever needed, reducing the need for on-site visits and travel costs. 

 Yes. eStruxture data centers in Quebec and British Columbia are powered by sustainable hydroelectric energy, helping enterprises reduce their carbon footprint while maintaining reliable, cost-effective operations.
