FACILITIES · COLOCATION

A rack, the power to fill it, and a cross-connect that lands tomorrow.

Quarter, half and full racks across our Lahore and Islamabad facilities, with A+B feed power, BICSI-aligned cabling and 24-hour cross-connects to any of the carriers in the meet-me-room — including, but not limited to, our own AS137492.

OVERVIEW

Cabinets you don't have to argue with the facility team about.

Our colocation footprint runs out of three carrier-neutral facilities — two in Lahore (Cantt and Johar Town) and one in Islamabad (I-9). Cabinets are 47U, 600 mm wide, with rear cable management and front-door perforated steel. Power lands as A+B feeds from independent UPS strings backed by N+1 generators; the default is 4 kW per rack metered, with 8 kW and breaker-fed options for high-density customers.

The interesting part of colocation is what's on the other end of the cross-connect, not the rack itself. Our facilities are carrier-neutral by policy: any licensed operator can land in our MMRs, and we charge a fixed cross-connect fee whether the customer is connecting to us or to a competitor. On-net customers get cross-connects to AS137492 in 24 hours; carrier-to- carrier connects are quoted within the standard turn-up window.

WHO USES IT

Customer profiles in our cages.

01

Other carriers landing in Punjab

Domestic and international carriers placing edge routers and transponders in our MMRs to terminate fibre and cross-connect to local operators.

02

SaaS / fintech with private infra

Companies running a hybrid stack — public cloud for elastic compute, our colo for data-residency-bound workloads.

03

Banks running their own infra

Tier-1 banks with stringent data-residency obligations and a preference for owning their hardware in carrier-neutral space.

04

Content / OTT delivery nodes

CDN appliances and origin servers placed inside our facilities for direct cross-connect to AS137492 and PKIX.

05

Government / defence systems

Tenancies that require a reviewed access policy, isolated cages, and audit-grade entry logs.

06

Hyperscaler edge / CDN POPs

Cache nodes from international content networks placed inside Punjab to reduce upstream transit.

FAQ

Common operational questions.

Are you carrier-neutral or do I have to use AS137492?
Carrier-neutral. We charge the same cross-connect fee whether the connection lands on our backbone or a competitor's. Several of our colo customers don't take a single megabit of transit from us.
What's the noise / power policy on dense racks?
Default cabinets run on 4 kW metered. For higher density we move you into hot-aisle containment cells with 8 kW or 12 kW breakered feeds and a chilled-water rear-door heat exchanger if needed. Hard cap is 15 kW per cabinet without engineered cooling.
How is access controlled?
Multi-factor at the building entrance, biometric + card at the cage door, and CCTV with 30-day retention. Customers nominate an access list; one-time visitors are escorted and logged.
Do you offer managed services on top?
Smart hands (eyes-on, hands-on) is pay-as-used. Beyond that we don't manage customer hardware — that's an explicit choice; it keeps our compliance posture simpler.
Can I bring my own carrier into your MMR?
Yes — any licensed PTA carrier can land. The MMR has both internal-customer and external-carrier patch panels; cross-connects between them are standard.
What about disaster recovery between your sites?
Our two Lahore sites are diverse on power, cooling and fibre. The Islamabad site is the third leg for customers running active-active or active-passive across Punjab.
How is power billed?
Default is metered: a per-kW monthly rate plus actual consumption. Breakered (committed-amp) billing is available for customers who want a flat monthly cost, typically chosen above 8 kW.
