Colocation help
I do not operate a datacenter or resell rack space myself. What I can do is help fellow operators — especially newcomers and smaller networks — get set up with colocation at two excellent Amsterdam facilities I have hands-on experience with.
AS215248 is not a reseller and takes no commission. This is peer-to-peer help between operators — the colocation contract is always directly between you and the facility.
Facilities I can help with
NIKHEF
A carrier-dense, community-friendly building — arguably the best place in the Netherlands to start peering. Ideal for a first BGP rack.
Qupra
A modern carrier-neutral facility with a welcoming approach to smaller networks and good interconnection options.
What “facilitating” means
- Introductions to the right people at the facility
- Guidance on cross-connects, IX onboarding and getting your space sorted
- Sanity-checking your hardware and power/space requirements
- BGP / peering configuration review once you are racked
- Remote hands — I am regularly on-site around Amsterdam and can rack, recable, swap drives or power-cycle your gear (not limited to NIKHEF or Qupra)
Remote hands. I’m regularly on-site around Amsterdam, so I can act as your hands —
racking and cabling gear, swapping a failed drive, or power-cycling a box when you can’t make the trip yourself.
Not limited to NIKHEF or Qupra; ask about your facility.
Interested?
Tell me what you want to build — a single server, a half rack, your first BGP setup — and I’ll point you in the right direction and make introductions where I can.
