Enterprise-grade data center infrastructure, without the capital burden.
Colocation space, managed connectivity, and procurement of high-end servers through AG's Collection's partnerships with India's leading data centers.
Request a ConsultationWhat is Colocation & Data Center?
Colocation is the practice of housing your servers and network equipment in a professionally managed data center facility, rather than building and operating your own. You own the hardware; the data center provides the physical space, power, cooling, physical security and internet connectivity — typically at Tier III or Tier IV reliability standards that in-house facilities cannot match.
AG's Collection has established partnerships with renowned data centers across India, giving clients access to carrier-neutral colocation facilities with redundant power, precision cooling and 24×7 NOC support. We act as a neutral advisor — matching each client to the right facility based on location, power density, compliance requirements and commercial terms, with no lock-in to a single operator.
Beyond colocation, we source and procure certified enterprise-grade servers — HPE ProLiant, Dell PowerEdge, Supermicro and IBM — through authorised channels at competitive pricing. Whether you need a single high-density compute node or a rack of storage servers, we specify the right configuration, procure at scale and coordinate delivery and deployment into your chosen facility.
Challenges we solve
- ▸High capital expenditure and ongoing operational cost of building or maintaining an in-house server room
- ▸Inadequate power redundancy, cooling capacity and physical security in self-hosted environments
- ▸Difficulty sourcing certified enterprise servers at competitive prices without established vendor relationships
- ▸Vendor lock-in with single data center operators limiting negotiation and flexibility
- ▸Uptime, SLA and compliance requirements for regulated or mission-critical workloads
A structured, transparent methodology
Requirement Assessment
We begin by understanding your compute, storage, power draw, connectivity, latency, compliance and budget requirements — building a clear specification before approaching any facility or hardware vendor.
Data Center Partner Matching
From our network of colocation partners, we shortlist the facilities best suited to your requirements: location, Tier rating, available power density, cross-connect options, carrier choices and commercial flexibility.
Site Visit & Technical Audit
We accompany your team on facility visits to evaluate physical infrastructure, power and cooling redundancy, security controls, fire suppression and the NOC operations — so your decision is based on verified facts, not brochures.
Colocation Agreement Support
We assist in reviewing the MSA and SLA terms: power SLAs, cooling commitments, cross-connect pricing, remote-hands charges, notice periods and exit clauses — protecting your interests before you sign.
Server Specification & Procurement
We define the right server configuration for your workload — CPU generation, memory, storage type and density, GPU if required, RAID and networking — then procure from authorised HPE, Dell, Supermicro or IBM channels at negotiated pricing.
Deployment & Handover
We coordinate rack installation, structured cabling, OS imaging and basic network configuration, with full documentation of asset tags, port mappings and IP assignments handed over to your team.
Ongoing Support Coordination
After go-live we remain a single point of contact for capacity expansion, hardware refresh planning, facility escalations and future procurement — removing the complexity of managing multiple vendor relationships independently.
The business impact
Tier III/IV uptime
Access 99.982%+ availability SLAs backed by redundant power and cooling — standards that self-hosted rooms cannot economically replicate.
Lower TCO
Eliminate capex on civil works, UPS, generators, precision cooling and physical security — pay only for the space and power you actually consume.
Certified enterprise hardware
HPE, Dell, Supermicro and IBM servers sourced through authorised channels with valid warranties, firmware support and manufacturer backing.
Neutral vendor approach
No lock-in to a single facility or hardware brand — we recommend the best fit for your requirement, not the relationship that pays us the most.
Scalable from day one
Start with a fraction of a rack and grow to full cages or suites as your infrastructure demands increase, with no stranded investment.
Compliance-ready
Access SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified facilities for workloads with regulatory, audit or data residency requirements.
Frequently asked questions
What is colocation and how is it different from cloud hosting?+
In colocation, you own the physical servers and house them in a shared data center facility. You control the hardware, OS and software stack. Cloud hosting (AWS, Azure, GCP) means you rent compute resources and share underlying infrastructure with other tenants. Colocation suits workloads requiring hardware control, consistent performance, data sovereignty or cost predictability at scale.
Which data centers are you partnered with?+
We work with several of India's leading Tier III and Tier IV colocation providers. Specific partners are discussed during the requirement assessment — we match you to the right facility rather than defaulting to a single operator.
Can you procure servers without taking colocation space?+
Yes. Server procurement is offered independently of colocation. If you already have a facility or hosting arrangement, we can source and procure certified enterprise hardware for your existing environment.
What is the minimum rack space available?+
Most colocation facilities offer space from as little as ¼ rack or even individual U slots upward. Minimum commitments and pricing vary by facility and location — we identify the best option for your starting footprint.
What SLA guarantees can we expect?+
Tier III facilities typically commit to 99.982% power and cooling availability; Tier IV to 99.995%. Network uptime SLAs depend on the carrier mix and redundancy level chosen. We assist in reviewing and negotiating these commitments before you sign.
