The Internet Centre provides a secure co-location facility on the south side of Edmonton, Alberta for customers looking to physically host one or more servers directly on our fully gigabit BGP peered network. 24/7 physical access is available, and there is easy and direct access from the nearby parking lot.

Co-locating your servers with the Internet Centre offers many advantages, especially when taking advantage of other Internet Centre services:

• Customers with an Internet Centre DSL connection can take advantage of very low round trip times between their remote location and their servers, as they are only one hop away.
• With a dedicated gigabit fiber link to the Edmonton SuperNet MeetMe location, connectivity between your SuperNet connected site and your co-located servers is fast and reliable
• Additionally, in both such cases, your data never traverses the Internet directly, so even un-encrypted data is less exposed

There are two types of co-location services provided, shared co-location and dedicated rooms.

Shared Co-Location 

For customers that only have a small number of servers they wish to co-locate and do not require a full rack, shared co-location is a cost effective solution. You purchase a quantity of rack space for your server and are connected to our core network in the same way that a dedicated rack would be, so you have all of the same benefits. 24/7 physical access is also available for our shared co-location clients.

Each shared co-location package includes:

• One ethernet connection to the Internet Centre network
• One power plugin
• One static IP address (/30 subnet)
  
• 50 GB of data transfer per month

Pricing for shared co-location is based on the size of the server. A flat rate of $60 per server is charged to provide connectivity to the network, to which is added an additional fee based on the size of the server. For rack mount servers, this is based on the rack-unit size of the server, and is charged at $60 per rack unit size. In other words, a 1U server would cost a total of $120/month, while a 3U server would be $240/month. There is a one-time $100 setup fee for all shared co-lo installations.

Shared co-location for tower servers is available, but is priced based on the size of the server, generally starting at $240/month.

Dedicated Co-Location 

For a larger number of servers, or if you have specific needs in terms of power delivery, a dedicated rack may be a better option. You will receive your own individually keyed rack in our data centre giving you the flexibility to add and remove equpiment as required. Custom configurations are available, so please contact us at 1-888-450-6787 if you have any specific needs.

• 42" deep 42U rack
• 500GB of data transfer per month
• /28 subnet (13 usable IP addresses)
• Two 15-amp circuits
• security system with armed response (two access cards included)
• surveillance cameras with video and keypad recorded entry
