Colocation means your servers — your hardware, your configuration, your control — live in GigeNET’s Chicago facility instead of your office or a smaller local data center. You get enterprise-grade power, cooling, physical security, and network connectivity without building it yourself. Remote hands support means you don’t need to be on-site for routine maintenance, and full physical access means you can be, whenever you need to.
Chicago colocation — from 1U to full racks, in a SOC 2-certified facility.
Host your own hardware in GigeNET's 17,000 sq. ft. Chicago facility — SOC 2 Type II certified, with 24/7/365 on-site engineers, redundant power and cooling, and pricing from $99/month. Whether you need a single 1U slot or a full rack with a 10G uplink, you keep full control of your servers while we handle the facility.

What colocation solves.
Colocation gives you the infrastructure of a major data center without the capital cost of building one. Here's what that means in practice:
Security & peace of mind
24/7 on-site staffing, VESDA fire detection, IP video surveillance, and proximity access control — your hardware is monitored and protected around the clock.
Save time and money
Building, staffing, and securing your own facility costs significantly more than colocation — and takes months, not days, to set up.
Enterprise-grade facility
Generator and UPS-backed power, redundant Liebert HVAC, and 150W PSF power density — the same infrastructure tier used by major data centers, available at the rack level.
Cost-effective bandwidth
Direct peering with major transit providers means low-latency connectivity without the markup of reselling bandwidth from another provider.
Scale without re-platforming
Start with 1U and grow into a half or full rack without changing facilities, IP ranges, or network configuration.
Need more than colocation?
If you also need managed services, backups, or a hybrid setup combining colocation with dedicated servers, GigeNET can build that too. Explore managed services
