Frequently Asked Questions
Our minimum cage size is a quarter cage: 10 full-height 42U racks with 100 kW total power capacity, roughly 500 square feet of private locked space. If you need less, our rack rental options start from a quarter rack (10U).
Yes. Start with a quarter cage and expand to half or full cage as needed. Expansion typically requires 30 to 60 days notice depending on available adjacent space, and we plan the move with you before you hit capacity.
Power is billed on committed capacity (per kW per month) plus actual consumption metered at the rack level. You commit to a minimum allocation, for example 100 kW for a quarter cage, at a fixed rate. We can increase allocation with 30 days notice if you consistently exceed it.
