Colocation

With colocation, you own your hardware — Summit provides the physical space, power, cooling, and network. With cloud hosting, Summit owns and operates the underlying infrastructure and you pay for compute resources. Colocation is ideal when you’ve already invested in hardware or need full control over your environment. Cloud is better when you need flexibility and don’t want to manage physical assets.

You have full flexibility. Summit offers fully managed, co-managed, and self-managed options. Many customers handle their own software and configuration while relying on Summit’s Remote Hands team for physical tasks — hardware swaps, reboots, cabling, and on-site troubleshooting.

Summit’s facilities are built to support HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, SOC 2, NIST, and ISO 27001 requirements. Our infrastructure is audit-ready, which reduces the compliance burden on your team and simplifies the documentation process for regulated industries.

Summit guarantees 100% uptime on power and network infrastructure — backed contractually, not just as a marketing claim. Our facilities run on redundant power with N+1 or better configurations, UPS systems, and backup generators. Network uptime is covered by our multi-carrier, carrier-neutral backbone.

No. There are no network transit fees inside Summit’s infrastructure. Unlike hyperscaler pricing where egress costs can surprise you at the end of the month, Summit’s colocation pricing is transparent and predictable. What you’re quoted is what you pay.

Yes. Summit offers end-to-end managed migration services — from planning and logistics to physical installation and testing. Our team specializes in minimizing disruption during transitions, whether you’re moving from an on-premises environment, another colocation provider, or a public cloud.
