A sound colocation decision starts with workload requirements, power and cooling needs, carrier diversity, total recurring cost, contract flexibility, and a realistic implementation timeline. CorePath helps organizations compare those factors across qualified facilities without presenting one provider as the default answer.
Questions to answer before deciding
Does the current facility support projected power density and growth?
Are the renewal notice window and automatic renewal terms documented?
Do carrier paths provide true physical diversity?
What is the full cost of renewing, renegotiating, or migrating?

Read the guideFrequently asked questions
When should a colocation review begin?
Start 9 to 12 months before a renewal or planned deployment. Complex migrations, high-density environments, and new carrier circuits often need more time.
Should price determine the facility decision?
No. Total cost matters, but power availability, connectivity, resilience, compliance, support, contract terms, and expansion rights also shape long-term value.
What does CorePath evaluate?
CorePath reviews requirements, markets, providers, capacity, connectivity, pricing, commercial terms, implementation needs, and migration risk.
Need an independent infrastructure review?
Start with your requirements, current environment, commercial terms, and decision timeline.
