GotColo.com provides the following comprehensive services:
Strategic Needs Assessment & Requirements Definition
- Perform detailed discovery to align your workloads, rack densities (from kW to multi-MW), tier requirements (e.g., Tier III/IV equivalent), latency, connectivity, compliance (PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, HIPAA, SOC 2, FedRAMP), ESG/sustainability targets, and DR/BC needs.
- Craft precise RFP/RFI specifications tailored for colocation, wholesale powered shell, build-to-suit, or powered land opportunities.
Global Market Intelligence & Real-Time Opportunity Mapping
- Track availability across thousands of facilities in primary, secondary, and emerging/edge markets worldwide.
- Monitor power landscapes: utility capacity, substation access, transmission constraints, renewable integration, and projected timelines for new power (often 2–5+ years in high-demand regions).
- Leverage proprietary insights into what's truly available now, upcoming builds, and pricing trends.
Site Selection & Location Strategy
- Evaluate sites using multi-factor analysis: power availability & pricing, fiber/carrier ecosystem, disaster risk profiles, environmental / water / regulatory constraints, zoning/permitting speed, incentives, and land feasibility.
- Deliver comprehensive due diligence reports covering environmental, geotechnical, flood, seismic, and compliance risks.
Colocation & Wholesale Sourcing
- Develop and manage competitive RFI/RFP processes across retail colocation, wholesale, and interconnection providers (including major partners like Equinix, Digital Realty, Flexential, Iron Mountain, Switch, TierPoint, and many others globally).
- Provide side-by-side comparisons of TCO elements: space rates ($/kW or $/rack), power costs (blended $/kWh, demand charges), connectivity/cross-connect fees, SLAs, remote hands, and concealed expenses.
Power Procurement & Capacity Securing
- Guide negotiations for committed MW-scale power in tight markets, including utility discussions, behind-the-meter options, and alternative sourcing (e.g., renewable PPAs, on-site generation, or microgrids).
- Optimize contracts for cost, uptime, flexibility: fixed/variable structures, escalation caps, ramp-up concessions, take-or-pay terms, and curtailment protections.
- Navigate regulated/deregulated markets and explore co-location with power assets.
Contract Negotiation & Commercial Optimization
- Lead aggressive, multi-round negotiations to lock in superior terms: discounted rates, free power periods, expansion/renewal rights, price floors, termination flexibility, and SLA credits.
- Benchmark against current market data to ensure top-tier economics and risk protections.
Migration & Deployment Support
- Build phased migration strategies, risk mitigation plans, and cutover execution to ensure minimal disruption.
- Coordinate across your teams, vendors, and carriers for smooth transitions.
Ongoing Advisory, Benchmarking & Expansion Support
- Monitor post-deployment performance, conduct annual market benchmarking, and assist with renewals, expansions, or re-sourcing.
- Provide sustainability guidance (PUE reduction, carbon tracking, renewable matching) to support ESG commitments.
