Full and Partial Rack Colocation - Knoxville Tier 2 Facility
Full and Partial Rack Colocation in Knoxville
Infinity Data Center provides full and partial rack colocation solutions designed for growing businesses, hosting providers, and organizations needing reliable, scalable Tier 2 infrastructure. Our Knoxville facility is ideal for secondary hosting, disaster recovery, and cost-effective rack space where Tier 3 pricing isn't justified.
Honest Tier 2 Positioning
We don't oversell. This is a Tier 2 facility with N+1 UPS power, generator backup, and redundant cooling—perfect for non-mission-critical workloads, development environments, and secondary infrastructure. For Tier 3/4 requirements, we can arrange colocation in our Atlanta partner facilities.
Flexible Rack Options
Choose the amount of rack space you need today and expand effortlessly as your infrastructure grows. All colocation racks include redundant UPS protection, generator-backed power, and carrier-diverse bandwidth options.
- 1/8 Rack (5U): Perfect for 1-2 servers or backup infrastructure
- 1/4 Rack (10U): Small deployments, development environments
- 1/2 Rack (21U): Growing infrastructure, multiple servers
- Full Rack (42U): Complete infrastructure, hosting providers, anchor tenants
- Multi-Cabinet: Custom configurations with 24/7 facility access
Why Choose Rack Colocation?
