About This Feature
Caged Colocation in the UK from Glitch Servers provides carrier-neutral rack space with direct LINX and LONAP connectivity - backed by AMD Ryzen hardware, NVMe Gen4 storage, and UK-native routing through AS212868. Caged colocation provides a physically isolated private cage within a carrier-neutral UK data centre - your servers are behind a locked cage boundary that other customers cannot access. This is the preferred approach for organisations with compliance requirements, multi-rack deployments, or equipment that needs isolation beyond shared-suite colocation. Our UK caged colocation includes carrier-neutral cross-connect capability, 24/7 remote hands, and metered or unmetered power options from 20A single-phase through to three-phase power feeds.
Colocation at Glitch Servers is carrier-neutral, meaning you are not locked to a single upstream provider. The facility connects to LINX and LONAP through AS212868, giving colocated customers access to over 800 networks reachable directly via the UK's primary internet exchanges without paying Tier-1 transit rates for every byte. Power infrastructure is N+1 redundant with UPS and generator backup.
BGP multi-homing through NTT and GTT Tier-1 upstream carriers provides path diversity and automatic failover if a single transit provider experiences degradation. Remote hands are available 24/7 for customers who need physical access assistance, hardware reboots, or cabling work without travelling to the facility.
UK data sovereignty is preserved by design - traffic from colocated servers traverses UK and Irish exchange points before reaching international networks, supporting GDPR and UK GDPR compliance requirements for data residency. Full rack options and pricing are detailed on the UK colocation page.

Legal, financial, and healthcare firms requiring physical access control to their hardware - caged colocation enforces separation with dedicated locked enclosures and access logging.
MSPs and hosting companies colocating hardware on behalf of multiple clients - caged space provides physical separation and security assurance they can pass on to their own customers.
Organisations handling sensitive data requiring physical security controls beyond standard rack colocation - caged space with keycard/biometric access and CCTV monitoring satisfies strict physical security requirements.
