Colocation Consulting
You know you need a presence in a proper datacenter but don't know where to start. We guide you through every decision — from picking the right facility and sizing your racks to planning connectivity and negotiating contracts.
Why through DMN
- Vendor-neutral advice — we don't resell datacenter space, so our recommendations are unbiased
- Right-sized from the start, with room to grow without over-provisioning
- Full technical due diligence on facilities before you sign a contract
- Network architecture designed alongside the physical deployment
- One partner who understands both the physical infrastructure and the systems running on it
What we deliver
Datacenter Selection
We evaluate facilities across Europe based on what actually matters for your workload — power redundancy, cooling design, network carriers, physical security, and proximity to your users or office. No vendor bias, just the right fit.
Rack & Power Sizing
How many racks do you need? What power density per rack? Half-rack or full? We calculate your current and projected requirements so you don't overpay for space you won't use or run out of capacity in a year.
Network & Connectivity Planning
Cross-connects, IP transit, peering, redundant uplinks — we design your connectivity strategy based on your traffic patterns, latency requirements, and budget. We help you negotiate with carriers too.
Hardware Specification
We help you spec the servers, switches, firewalls, and storage that will go into your racks. Sized to your workloads, compatible with the facility's power and cooling, and planned for growth.
Migration Planning
Moving from cloud to colo, or from one facility to another? We build a phased migration plan that minimizes downtime — what moves first, what stays, what needs parallel operation during the transition.
Cost Analysis & Negotiation
We break down the total cost of colocation — monthly recurring, setup fees, cross-connect charges, power overages — and help you compare options and negotiate terms with datacenter providers.
