About This Feature
Full Cabinet 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. A full 42U cabinet gives you the maximum density for a single rack footprint: up to 40 1U servers, a top-of-rack switch, and a dedicated patch field. Our UK colocation facilities provide up to 20kW of power per cabinet - well above the 4–5kW typical of standard colo, and suitable for high-density GPU or storage configurations. Smart PDUs with per-outlet power monitoring are installed in every cabinet, allowing your team to track power consumption per server remotely. Optional security cages are available around the cabinet for clients requiring physical separation for compliance or security reasons.
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.
