San Francisco colocation.
Find the right fit.
Compare colocation options in San Francisco with an infrastructure sourcing partner focused on your requirements.
Request San Francisco options ↗Planning a San Francisco deployment
Distinguish a San Francisco city requirement from a broader Bay Area deployment. If Silicon Valley is acceptable, compare it as a named alternative rather than labeling every Bay Area site as San Francisco.
Bring us a 1U fractional colocation requirement or a multi-megawatt project. With over 25 years of IaaS experience and a heavy focus on compute, we help align your hardware, networking, and facility requirements.
Search area: San Francisco, the wider Bay Area, and Santa Clara alternatives.
Define the access requirement
If your staff needs frequent access from San Francisco, include realistic travel and receiving arrangements in the shortlist. A remote-hands package might change the operating tradeoff but should be priced explicitly.
Compare the complete connection
Identify carrier, cloud, and private network endpoints. Request delivery method, performance, setup cost, and recurring charges for each connection from the specific facility.
From a single server to a dedicated deployment in San Francisco
For 1U to a partial rack, compare a bundled service with usable power, an internet port, IP addresses, and remote support. Ask whether cross-connects are included or billed separately. Boutique providers are useful to compare when you need a smaller footprint and hands-on service.
For cabinets and cages, specify rack count, sustained kW, redundant feeds, and your next expansion. For multi-megawatt space, include phased delivery dates, cooling design, utility capacity, and acceptance milestones in the sourcing brief.
Your search area includes San Francisco, the wider Bay Area, and Santa Clara alternatives. Tell us which locations are acceptable and which network endpoints are mandatory so the shortlist reflects your deployment.

| Requirement | Questions for the provider |
|---|---|
| Space & access | What cabinet dimensions, usable rack units, delivery arrangements, and access hours are included? |
| Power | What continuous usable kW is included? How are redundant feeds and energy billed? |

| Commercial terms | What setup fees, annual increases, renewal terms, and expansion commitments apply? |
We compare proposals against the same requirements. Pricing and available capacity depend on the selected facility, configuration, and term.
AI colocation and GPU options in San Francisco
For high-density equipment, share server specifications, sustained power draw, rack weight, and cooling requirements before requesting a quote. We help verify whether a proposed facility supports the configuration. If you prefer rented compute, we also source dedicated GPU infrastructure.
