we negotiate competitive bandwidth pricing and service terms on your behalf—allowing you to focus on your infrastructure while we handle the connectivity.
Need several cabinets or a private cage? Our multi-cabinet specials
are priced up front, each on two independent upstream networks, with term pricing held for the life of the agreement. Ideal for
geographic redundancy or secondary datacenter capacity throughout East Tennessee.
Knoxville, Tennessee offers unique advantages for data center operations, combining geographic stability, connectivity infrastructure,
and cost-effectiveness ideal for both primary and secondary hosting deployments.
Strategic Geographic Location
Knoxville sits at the crossroads of East Tennessee, providing easy access to major markets while maintaining separation
from higher-cost major metro markets. We're positioned between Nashville (175 miles), Atlanta (200 miles), and Chattanooga (110 miles).
Natural Disaster Resilience
East Tennessee sits well inland, with no hurricane or coastal storm-surge exposure, and away from the
plains corridor where severe weather is most frequent. That separation from coastal and plains-based facilities makes
Knoxville colocation particularly attractive for disaster recovery strategies.
Cost Advantages Over Major Metro Markets
Knoxville colocation avoids the capacity constraints and renewal increases now common in Nashville, Atlanta, or Charlotte
while delivering comparable reliability and connectivity. Lower real estate costs, competitive power rates, and regional carrier
competition enable enterprise-grade infrastructure at prices that make secondary and DR deployments financially viable.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory Ecosystem
Proximity to Oak Ridge National Laboratory has fostered a sophisticated technology ecosystem in East Tennessee.
This concentration of technical talent, advanced computing expertise, and high-performance networking infrastructure creates an
environment where data center operations benefit from local knowledge unavailable in many secondary markets.
Connectivity & Carrier Options
We maintain partnerships with multiple fiber providers serving the Knoxville metropolitan area, giving you flexibility
in bandwidth pricing, IP allocation, and service terms. Our connectivity brokerage model means we negotiate on your behalf.
High-Bandwidth Municipal Fiber

for multi-server deployments and hosting clusters throughout East Tennessee.

Frequently Asked Questions About Knoxville Colocation
▶ Where is your Knoxville data center located?
Our facility is in Hardin Valley, approximately 15 minutes from downtown Knoxville and
20 minutes from Oak Ridge. We're also convenient to Lenoir City and Maryville
for regional customers throughout East Tennessee.
▶ What carriers are available at your Knoxville colocation facility?
We partner with multiple independent fiber providers. We negotiate on your behalf to secure
competitive rates and terms. Customers can also arrange bring-your-own-carrier configurations.

and discuss technical requirements. Tours are by appointment. Contact us or
Schedule a Site Visit to arrange a tour of our
Knoxville colocation facility.
▶ What's your uptime guarantee?
Service commitments are written into your colocation agreement rather than quoted as a blanket percentage. Behind them:
N+1 UPS power with automatic transfer to an on-site diesel generator, N+1 cooling, and continuous operation since 2007.
If you also want a presence in another region, we can source and manage partner-facility space for you.
▶ Who can enter the data center floor?
Only our staff and pre-authorized customer personnel enter the data center floor, by arrangement. Most customers manage their equipment remotely through console access, remote power control, and our remote hands team; we set up physical access that fits your deployment as part of your agreement.
▶ How quickly can I get set up?
Rack space, power and your plan bandwidth are typically ready within 1-2 weeks of contract execution.
Only a new dedicated carrier circuit takes longer—circuits in the Knoxville area
typically install within 30-45 days, and we can arrange temporary connectivity in the meantime.
▶ Do you support hybrid cloud deployments?
Yes! Many customers use our Knoxville colocation as part of hybrid cloud strategies, maintaining on-premise
infrastructure for latency-sensitive applications while leveraging cloud for scalable workloads. We can arrange
private connectivity to major cloud providers.
▶ How does Knoxville pricing compare to Nashville or Atlanta?
Knoxville colocation offers available capacity and rate stability compared to major metros like Nashville
or Atlanta. This makes our facility particularly attractive for secondary hosting, disaster recovery, and development
environments. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
▶ What power redundancy do you have?
Our Knoxville facility maintains N+1 UPS battery backup protecting critical load, with
automatic transfer to diesel generator backup for extended utility outages. This provides redundancy
appropriate for resilient colocation while keeping costs reasonable.
▶ Do you offer migration assistance?
Yes! Our engineering team assists with planning and executing migrations to our Knoxville colocation
facility, including network design, carrier coordination, equipment installation, and cutover planning. We've successfully
migrated customers from other East Tennessee facilities, cloud providers, and on-premise datacenters.
