Enterprise Data Center Space for Your Hardware
If your business owns its server and networking equipment but has outgrown the office server closet — or simply deserves better power, cooling, and security than an on-site room can offer — co-location is the answer. Synapses Technologies partners with PhoenixNAP to house your hardware in a professional, enterprise-grade data center, while we manage the relationship and your equipment on your behalf.
Co-location means your business keeps ownership of its physical servers and equipment, while gaining the redundant power, cooling, physical security, and high-bandwidth connectivity of a purpose-built facility — without the cost or complexity of building one yourself.
The PhoenixNAP Data Center
Synapses Technologies hosts client equipment in PhoenixNAP’s Tier 3 data centers, including its flagship Phoenix, Arizona facility and additional global locations such as Amsterdam.
Power & Cooling
- Redundant (A+B) power feeds to every rack, backed by uninterruptible power supplies and on-site diesel generators
- N+1 redundant precision cooling with hot/cold aisle containment for consistent performance
- High-density power available for demanding workloads
Physical Security
- 24/7/365 on-site security personnel
- Biometric and multi-factor access controls at the facility and cabinet level
- Continuous CCTV surveillance and visitor logging for every non-authorized guest
Connectivity
- Access to dozens of Tier 1 network carriers with diverse fiber paths into the facility
- High-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity available at the rack level
- Built-in DDoS protection to help keep your equipment online and secure
Compliance PhoenixNAP facilities maintain certifications relevant to regulated industries, including SOC 2 Type II, PCI-DSS, HIPAA-ready controls, and ISO 27001 alignment — helpful for businesses with audit or data-residency requirements.
Space Options
We size your co-location footprint to match your equipment, from a single appliance to a fully dedicated environment.
| Option | Best For |
|---|---|
| 1U–4U Co-Location | A single server or small appliance, such as a firewall or NAS |
| Quarter Rack | Small server clusters |
| Half Rack | A mid-size deployment of a few servers plus networking gear |
| Full Rack | A complete server deployment with dedicated power and cooling |
| Private Cage | Compliance-sensitive or larger deployments requiring dedicated, partitioned access |
Remote Hands, Managed for You
You don’t need to fly out to the data center every time something needs attention. On-site Remote Hands and Smart Hands support — from power cycling equipment to hardware installation and troubleshooting — is available and can be coordinated by Synapses Technologies as part of your managed service, along with remote monitoring, patch management, and backup oversight for your co-located systems.
Is Co-Location Right for Your Business?
Co-location is a strong fit if you:
- Own server or networking hardware that has outgrown your on-premises space
- Have compliance or data-residency requirements that call for physical control of your hardware in a certified facility
- Want the reliability of professional power, cooling, and security without replacing hardware you’ve already invested in
- Are pursuing a hybrid strategy — keeping some workloads on your own hardware while running others in the cloud
Not sure whether co-location, cloud infrastructure, or a hybrid mix is the right fit? Many businesses combine co-located hardware with AWS or Azure for burst capacity, backup, or cloud-native applications — we’ll help you figure out the right balance for yours.
