Colocation & Rack Space
Secure rack space — from a few units to private cabinets and cages — for your own servers and network equipment, in a facility built and staffed for around-the-clock operation.
Serving New York & Long Island — Nationwide expansion underway
Enterprise data center & colocation — without building your own
House your critical systems in secure, redundant facilities with carrier-neutral connectivity and 24/7 monitoring — or run them on our Virtual Private Data Center. Enterprise-grade infrastructure for small and mid-size businesses across New York and Long Island.
What is data center & colocation?
Enterprise infrastructure, without the cost of building it
Colocation means housing your servers and network gear in a professional data center instead of a closet in your office. You keep ownership and control of the hardware, while we provide the secure space, redundant power and cooling, high-speed connectivity, and physical security needed to keep it running around the clock. If you'd rather not own hardware at all, our Virtual Private Data Center gives you the same enterprise foundation as a managed, predictable service.
For most small and mid-size businesses, building a true data center is out of reach — the power, cooling, bandwidth, and security required cost far more than the servers themselves. A failing office air conditioner or a single power cut shouldn't be able to take your business offline. Colocation closes that gap, putting your critical systems in a facility engineered for uptime, at a fraction of the cost of replicating it yourself.
It fits the model the rest of our site is built on: one plan, one source, one monthly bill. Space, power, connectivity, security, and monitoring come bundled into a single relationship — and because the same team manages your networks and cloud, your colocated infrastructure stays connected to everything else, with one number to call.
What's included
Everything that keeps your systems running
A data center engagement from Smartweb bundles the six capabilities below. Mix and match to fit your size, stack, and compliance needs.
Redundant Power & Cooling
UPS battery backup and on-site generators keep equipment powered through outages, while precision cooling holds the right temperature and humidity — so hardware stays healthy and online.
Network & Connectivity
Carrier-neutral, high-bandwidth connectivity with redundant routes, so you can choose your providers and your systems stay reachable even if one link or carrier goes down.
Virtual Private Data Center
Prefer not to own hardware? Get a dedicated, isolated slice of our infrastructure — compute, storage, and networking — with the control of private hosting and the flexibility of virtualization.
Physical & Network Security
Controlled access, surveillance, and on-site staff protect the building, while managed firewalls and monitoring protect the network — the layered security regulated industries require.
Remote Hands & 24/7 Monitoring
Our engineers act as your hands on-site — reboots, swaps, cabling, and installs — while continuous monitoring watches power, environment, and network health so issues are caught early.
Why it matters
The business case for colocation
Where your infrastructure lives shapes your uptime, your costs, and your ability to grow. A professional data center changes all three.
Enterprise reliability & uptime
Redundant power, cooling, and connectivity mean a single failure never takes you down. Your critical systems get the kind of availability an office server room simply can't match.
Lower cost than building your own
Skip the capital expense of generators, cooling, bandwidth, and a secure room. You get data-center-grade infrastructure for a predictable monthly fee, not a six-figure build-out.
Scale without overbuilding
Add racks, power, or virtual capacity as you grow — without renovating an office or buying ahead of need. Your footprint flexes with the business, not against it.
Security & compliance built in
Controlled access, surveillance, and documented controls help you satisfy the physical-security and availability requirements of HIPAA, FINRA, SOC 2, and your insurers.
Local & trusted
Data center & colocation for New York & Long Island businesses
For colocation, proximity matters — you want your equipment close enough to reach, in the hands of a team you can actually talk to. Smartweb supports businesses across New York City, Nassau County, and Suffolk County, with remote hands on-site for the day-to-day and senior engineers available when you need to plan, expand, or troubleshoot.
We're a long-established technology firm, not a faceless wholesaler. You get documented infrastructure, a team that knows your environment, and one accountable partner for colocation, network, cloud, and security alike. As we grow, the same model is expanding to Tampa, Fort Myers, and Orlando, then Charlotte and Savannah — with cloud and disaster-recovery hosting available nationwide.

How deployment works
Into the data center in four steps
01
Assess
We review your equipment, power, connectivity, and uptime needs to size the right space and design. Free and no-obligation.
02
Design
You get a clear plan and fixed-fee proposal — rack layout or virtual footprint, power, connectivity, and security, scoped to your needs.
03
Deploy
We rack, cable, and configure — or stand up your Virtual Private Data Center — and migrate systems on a planned schedule that minimizes downtime.
04
Manage
We monitor power, environment, and network 24/7, provide remote hands, and review capacity as you grow — so your infrastructure keeps pace.
Common questions
Data center & colocation FAQ
What is colocation and how does a data center service work?
Colocation means housing your servers and network equipment in a professional data center instead of a closet in your office. You own the hardware; the data center provides the secure space, redundant power and cooling, high-speed connectivity, and physical security to keep it running around the clock. Smartweb's data center service gives you enterprise-grade infrastructure without the cost and complexity of building and maintaining your own facility.
What is the difference between colocation and the cloud?
With colocation you place your own physical servers in our data center and retain full control over the hardware and configuration. With the cloud, you rent virtual computing resources and never touch physical equipment. Many businesses use both — colocation for systems they want to own and control, and cloud for workloads that benefit from elasticity. Smartweb can design and manage either, or a hybrid of the two.
What is a Virtual Private Data Center?
A Virtual Private Data Center gives you a dedicated, isolated slice of our infrastructure — compute, storage, and networking — without buying and racking your own hardware. You get the control and security of private infrastructure with the flexibility of virtualization, billed as a predictable service. It's ideal for businesses that want private hosting without the capital expense of physical servers.
How secure and reliable is your data center?
Our facilities are built for high availability, with redundant power (UPS and generator backup), redundant cooling, and carrier-neutral connectivity so a single failure never takes you offline. Physical security includes controlled access, surveillance, and 24/7 on-site staff, layered with network security and continuous monitoring — supporting the uptime and compliance requirements of regulated industries.
