Cages and private suites

When a row of cabinets is not enough separation: a mesh cage with its own reader, or at NWK1, a walled suite with its own door, mantrap and power distribution.

Cages

Cages are welded mesh to the underside of the cable tray, with a card-and-palm reader on the door and a lockbox for deliveries. They start at four cabinets and are built to your layout, usually within four weeks. Cages are named for their hall and a letter: 2D is the fourth cage in Hall 2.

Our cameras cover every cage door and the aisles around it. Inside a cage, a customer may ask us to mask the view; the site lead reviews each request, and the door and the aisle always stay in view.

Each suite has its own mantrap, its own busway from both 2N power trains and a facility water loop for liquid cooling. There are no cameras inside a suite unless the customer asks for them; the suite door and the corridor are always in view. Suites can be licensed with a roof antenna position and a riser to it.

Availability changes; ask sales which suites are free.
