Why consult Colo-X
Since 1999, Colo-X has closed countless colocation transactions with the broadest possible set of providers in the UK and European colocation marketplace. This extensive on-going experience plays a vital and valuable role in our opinions and insights.
Besides closing colocation deals every month (which typically range from 1 to 20 racks) we attend numerous site visits and sales presentations. Often this is to accompany potential buyers as they assess their options. In fact, we have more experience in closing deals in certain facilities than the operators’ official sales personnel. (Many data centre sales people have been with the operator for significantly less time than we’ve been selling their facility and services).
Our research and analysis are therefore based on actual transactions, not unverified list prices and our database of price points now provides a detailed history through a number of business cycles in the data centre industry.
Furthermore, the directors of Colo-X also run a niche colocation business in London through which they spend around £1m per year on colocation services. This provides us with further hard facts and first-hand experience that go even further to help shape our market opinions and perspectives.
