Powered-Shell Colocation
Ready for Your Infrastructure Fit-Out.
Start with fit-out-ready white space on the RWS site, power, and fiber foundation. Your team designs and delivers the critical facility systems, rack infrastructure, network, and compute environment.
Start With Conditioned Space Ready for Fit-Out.
Powered Shell adds prepared white space to the RWS site, power, and fiber foundation. Your team retains control of backup generation, cooling, rack-level infrastructure, networking, and compute systems.
This model gives customers a prepared facility environment without prescribing the systems they will use to support their deployment.
