RackCorp Colocation
Secure Your Hardware in Australia's Premium Data Centres
What Is RackCorp Colocation?
RackCorp Colocation gives you enterprise-grade data centre space without building or operating your own facility. RackCorp partners with Australia's leading data centre operators — NextDC, Equinix, Vocus, and Leading Edge — to provide Tier III and Tier III+ certified facilities across every major metro and select regional locations. You bring your hardware. RackCorp provides the power, cooling, physical security, and network connectivity.
Deployment options range from a single 1U server through partial racks, full racks, and private cage solutions for organisations that need dedicated, physically separated infrastructure. Every facility offers N+1 redundant power and cooling, 24/7 CCTV, biometric access control, and the physical security posture that enterprise and government customers require.
The real value of RackCorp colocation is the network integration. Your colocated hardware connects directly into RackCorp's Anycast network and cloud ecosystem via low-latency cross-connects. That means you can run your own physical infrastructure for workloads that demand it — bare metal databases, legacy applications, hardware security modules — while plugging straight into RackCorp's cloud compute and storage services for elastic overflow, backup, and disaster recovery. It's hybrid cloud done properly: your hardware, their facilities, one network, one support team. For organisations transitioning from on-premises IT but not ready to go fully cloud, colocation with RackCorp is the practical stepping stone.

Who Is This For?
How It Compares
Pure cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Vultr don't offer colocation at all. If you have physical hardware that needs to live in a professional data centre — and many Australian organisations do — the hyperscalers simply aren't an option. RackCorp bridges this gap by providing colocation space within the same network ecosystem as their cloud services, enabling genuine hybrid architectures that don't require a VPN tunnel between two completely separate environments. Against standalone colocation providers (NextDC, Equinix direct), RackCorp adds the cloud integration layer. Yes, you can buy a rack directly from NextDC, but then your cloud connectivity is your problem. RackCorp's colocation includes direct cross-connects into their compute and storage platforms, BGP transit, and Anycast networking — all managed under one contract with one support team. For channel partners building hybrid solutions for their customers, that single-vendor simplicity dramatically reduces the operational complexity. The regional edge locations are a differentiator that pure colocation providers struggle to match outside the major metros. RackCorp's partnerships with regional facility operators (like Leading Edge) mean you can colocate hardware in locations like Newcastle, Dubbo, and Albury — ideal for government, mining, agricultural technology, and regional healthcare organisations that need local infrastructure.
