Compare rack, power, connectivity and remote hands charges before signing a colocation agreement.
Size rack and power together
Inventory equipment, rack units and peak power draw. Include growth headroom and check whether power is billed by committed capacity, actual usage or a combination. Confirm which feed and redundancy requirements the quote covers.
Itemise connectivity
Request separate prices for cross-connects, internet transit and private circuits. Ask which carriers are available, what the installation lead times are and who owns troubleshooting across the handoff.
Clarify the operating model
Confirm delivery access, hardware replacement, remote hands response targets and after-hours charges. Compare recurring fees, one-time charges and exit costs using the same contract period.
