SYSFACTS OPERATIONS · Advanced Colocation

Your servers in the data centre, supported by our infrastructure.

Use your own servers in Frankfurt’s FRA4 or FRA15 data centres. We provide networking, storage and backup as needed. Track your systems, resource usage and services through SFOC.

Discuss your operational needs
SERVICE SCOPE

Your servers, with the support they need.

Keep using your hardware and add networking, storage and support where it saves your team work.

Your servers in Frankfurt

Your hardware is housed in FRA4 or FRA15. We arrange space, power and suitable connectivity.

Networking, storage and backup

Use our shared components instead of building and maintaining everything yourself.

A network we operate ourselves

Sysfacts is a RIPE NCC member and operates its own autonomous system (AS). We plan internet connectivity, private networks and connections between your sites with you.

You choose who runs your systems

Run your cluster yourself or let us manage it. View rack occupancy and resource usage in SFOC, and provision private networks.

ADVANCED COLOCATION IN FRANKFURT

A suitable location for your servers.

We use Digital Realty’s FRA4 and FRA15 facilities. The data centres provide power, cooling and physical security. Sysfacts adds connectivity, shared infrastructure and the system support you commission.

FRA4

Weismüllerstraße 19, Frankfurt am Main

2N UPS and N+1 cooling. Controlled campus access with video surveillance and security staff.

FRA15

Weismüllerstraße 1, Frankfurt am Main

2N UPS, N+1 backup generation and redundant cooling. Multiple building entry points and redundant meet-me rooms for connectivity.

Power supply

The 2N UPS design provides two fully sized UPS systems. We plan your equipment’s power paths and capacity to suit the installation.

Access control and fire protection

FRA15 uses multiple layers of access control, on-site security staff around the clock, VESDA early fire detection and argon fire suppression.

Cooling and monitoring

FRA15 has at least N+1 cooling in each room and redundant chilled-water supplies. Building infrastructure is monitored around the clock.

Connectivity

Multiple building entry points and separate interconnection rooms at FRA15 provide a basis for redundant connections. We plan your specific connectivity and network separation.

COLOCATION IN SFOC

Check power capacity before adding equipment.

SFOC shows power consumption, utilisation and peaks alongside agreed capacity. Low-headroom alerts help plan expansion before additional equipment is installed.

See how your rack is populated.

The rack view shows where your equipment is installed and how many rack units it occupies, helping you coordinate installations and changes with our team.

Common questions

What to know before getting started.

Do we need to bring a complete infrastructure stack?

Bring the systems you own and want to keep using. We can provide additional networking, storage and backup resources. Shared components are specified during planning.

How is access to our systems arranged?

We agree authorised personnel, access registration and on-site work with you. Data centre security and technical staffing are separate from the Sysfacts services and service hours you commission.

What do you need for a colocation proposal?

An equipment list including rack units, power needs and ports, plus networking, storage and backup requirements. We use these to plan the location and the resources we provide.

ONBOARDING

Before onboarding

For a proposal, we need details of hardware, space, power and connectivity. Location, available capacity and access arrangements are confirmed in the specific proposal.

Understand your starting point
SYSFACTS OPERATIONS

We agree responsibilities before operations begin.

The proposal separates infrastructure resources, ongoing support and additional work. You can see what is included and what requires a separate order.

Our shared service framework
THE FIRST STEP

Discuss your operational needs

We discuss your systems, current responsibilities and required service hours. This determines what we need to assess before making a specific proposal.

A short description is enough. You do not need technical documents for the initial enquiry.
