Data Center Solutions
H5 Data Centers' creative solutions range from build-to-suit wholesale to individual cabinet retail and everything in between.
Build-to-Suit Data Centers
- H5 Data Centers offer organizations the ability to customize the location, size, design, and resiliency level for their mission-critical data center needs. A build-to-suit lease is a structure that allows the customer to design and customize a data center facility to meet specific or unique location or design needs without a large initial capital expenditure that comes with building and owning a data center.
Edge Data Center Solutions
H5 Data Centers operates network-neutral, edge data centers and carrier hotels that can help solve the challenges posed by these latency-sensitive applications. Playing a critical role in Internet infrastructure, edge data centers and carrier hotels support the interconnection of network access, content distribution, and cloud enablement. Edge data centers enable content to reach local-market consumers with the lowest potential latency. Our mission is to support the needs of Ethernet providers, content companies, network operators, and Internet exchanges to support a more reliable and efficient Internet. H5 Data Centers offers neutral interconnection services at its secure edge data centers. By utilizing an H5 edge data center, network operators and cable companies can reduce costs and service turn-up times.
Peering - Internet Exchange Access
H5 Data Centers can offer your network access to a variety of Internet exchanges across the United States. Cloud service providers, communications carriers, and content delivery networks (CDNs) can benefit from accessing a neutral Internet exchange, such as the SAT-IX, IX-Denver, De-CIX, or the SIX.
Powered Shell Data Centers
Powered shell data centers are facilities with exterior construction completed, available power and connectivity, but with the interior left as raw space to be finished by the customer. This can be delivered as a floor/section of an existing building or as an entire building dedicated to one customer. While there is no industry or market standard for what power/space capacity constitutes a powered shell data center, commitments are on the larger side - many starting at 5,000 square feet (500 kW) depending on the facility design and strategic intent of the operator.
Remote Hands Services
Remote and Smart Hands Services can increase uptime and reduce the costs to deploy infrastructure in remote locations. Remote hands are a series of on-site, physical IT management and maintenance services provided by data center and colocation providers for an additional fee. H5 Data Centers offers remote hands services as part of its standard colocation service offering. Our trained technicians are available 24x7 to be a physical extension of your organization to deploy, maintain, troubleshoot, and turndown your infrastructure.
Data Center Sale-Leaseback Structures
A data center sale-leaseback is when the owner and end-user of a data center simultaneously sell its facility to another entity and leases back the requisite amount of data center space from the new owner. A data center sale-leaseback transaction can result in a lease for 10, 20, 50, or even 100% of the facility. The result of a well-executed data center sale-leaseback is a tenant with a cash infusion who leases exactly what they need and on terms upon which they are comfortable. Tenants are then removed from real estate ownership responsibilities and relinquish space that was either not used or severely underutilized. A new owner then comes in with a fresh perspective on the valuation or direction of the site.
Wholesale Data Centers
A wholesale data center refers to a relatively large data center where the provider only wishes to lease large blocks of space and power, typically defined private suites or large cages, to its customers. It does not refer to leasing space only to 'colocation retailers' or companies that specialize in leasing smaller amounts of space. Very often, large enterprises choose to lease wholesale data centers instead of building their own data center. The wholesale data center provider may or may not manage the mechanical or electrical systems on behalf of the customer.
