For dense servers and GPUs. Each is planned with you and priced by quote: tell us the kW per rack, the number of racks and your start date.
30 kWmaximum per rack
Full rack, included4.4 kW
High-density rack, up to30 kW
High-density colocation
High-density colocation at Amanah means up to 30 kW per rack, air cooled with chilled water from Enwave’s deep lake system. That is more than six times the 4.4 kW included with a full rack.
Plan a dense rackAI and GPU colocation
Run an inference cluster or a single GPU rack without building your own facility. Our remote hands team racks and cables it, and you peer on TorIX at 100G in the same building.
Plan a GPU deploymentColocation or cloud?
Colocation usually costs less than cloud for steady workloads you run every day, for traffic-heavy services that pay cloud egress fees, and for hardware you already own. Cloud is the better fit for spiky or short-lived workloads.
| Your workload | Colocation | Cloud |
|---|---|---|
| The load runs all day, every day | Better fit | |
| Egress fees drive the bill | Better fit | |
| You own the servers already | Better fit | |
| Demand spikes and falls | Better fit | |
| The project is short-lived | Better fit | |
| You need many regions | Better fit |

Questions about colocation
Still deciding? Call sales on ext. 1, see every price, compare private racks or read how to choose a provider in Toronto.
What is the difference between colocation and renting a server?
With colocation you own the hardware and we house it, power it, cool it and connect it. If you would rather not buy servers, we supply them in the same building as dedicated servers, on their own or alongside your colocation.
How much rack space do I need?
Count the rack units your servers take up; one U is 1.75″ tall. For a few servers, a shared rack priced by the U is the simplest start. Past 5 U, a quarter rack costs less and gives you your own lockable door. Find your size shows the plan for your U count.
What can 1A or 20A of power run?
At 110V, 1A is about 110 W and 20A is about 2.2 kW. A shared rack includes 1A per U; quarter and half racks include 20A, and a full rack includes two 20A circuits, about 4.4 kW. Add up what your servers draw under load, not the rating on the power supply. If you need more, power upgrades are on the Pricing page, and dense racks go up to 30 kW.
Why does colocation cost what it does?
The monthly price pays for the space, the power and cooling, physical security, the bandwidth in your plan and the people who run the building. Our prices are published, so you can see what each size costs before you call.
How do I get my servers into the rack?
Bring them in yourself, or ship them to us and our remote hands team racks and cables them. Your rack is ready for your equipment by the next business day after you sign.
Can I start small and grow?
Yes. Start with one server in a shared rack, then move to a quarter, half or full rack in the same building, on the same network, with the same team.
What if I need more than a full rack?
For several racks, we plan a private cage or a private suite with you, priced by quote. Power is planned per rack, up to 30 kW. Tell us what you need and we plan it with you.
