Single Server Colocation - Knoxville Tier 2 Facility
Single Server Colocation in Knoxville
Single server colocation at Infinity Data Center provides cost-effective Tier 2 infrastructure for organizations needing reliable hosting for individual servers without maintaining an in-house data center. Our Knoxville facility is ideal for secondary hosting, disaster recovery, and backup infrastructure 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.
Why Single Server Colocation?
- Geographic Diversity: Located 100+ miles from Nashville/Chattanooga for true redundancy
- Cost-Effective: 30-50% lower than equivalent Tier 2 services in major markets
- Flexible Bandwidth: Choose LCUB for high bandwidth or WOW for generous IP allocation
- Remote Hands Available: On-site support for reboots, cable management, hardware replacement
- No Overselling: Transparent about our Tier 2 capabilities and limitations
Common Use Cases
Disaster Recovery Server
Secondary site for database replication, file backups, or failover infrastructure at a fraction of Tier 3 pricing.
Backup Storage Server
Off-site backup target using solutions like Veeam, Proxmox Backup Server, or Comet Backup.
Virtualization Host
Proxmox, VMware, or Hyper-V host for development, testing, or secondary production workloads.
Specialized Hardware
VoIP systems, security appliances, network monitoring, or custom hardware requiring datacenter infrastructure.
Connectivity Options
We partner with 6+ fiber carriers including LCUB, WOW, AT&T, Windstream, Iris Network, and Xfinity. We negotiate bandwidth pricing on your behalf and can arrange point-to-point connectivity globally.
Choose your carrier based on needs:
- LCUB: Best for high bandwidth needs (100Mbps to 10Gbps), competitive rates, limited IP allocation
- WOW: Best for multi-server deployments, generous IP blocks ($10/IP), owned addresses
- Dual Carrier: Combine both for geographic redundancy and failover capabilities
