Colocation for local, enterprise, and high-density workloads

DartPoints provides colocation in regional markets for organizations that need reliable infrastructure, practical deployment options, and room to grow.

From full-rack local colocation to enterprise deployments and larger AI/GPU environments, we help match the site, power, connectivity, and support model to the workload.

Colocation Built for Different Deployment Needs

DartPoints supports colocation requirements across three common paths, from local full-rack deployments to larger enterprise and high-density environments.
For local businesses and organizations that need at least one full rack in a professionally managed regional data center.
For production enterprise workloads, typically in the 15kW to 500kW range, tied to modernization, resiliency, consolidation, or data center exit.
For larger high-density deployments, typically starting at 100 kW, that require more planning around power, cooling, density, delivery timing, and growth.

What Matters in a Colocation Decision

A colocation decision is not only about space and power. The right fit depends on whether the site can support the workload, the timeline, the density, the operating model, and the connectivity requirements.

Power range and deployment fit

Contiguous and non-contiguous space options

Current and planned capacity by market

Carrier access and cloud connectivity

Remote hands and operational support

Rack density and cooling requirements

Security, compliance, and access requirements

Delivery timeline and growth path

DartPoints helps customers determine fit quickly, so teams can move forward with a clear view of what can be supported, where, and on what timeline.
Not every workload belongs in a major metro

The largest data center markets are not always the best fit.

Many organizations need infrastructure closer to where they operate, easier to access, and better aligned with their resiliency goals. A regional colocation strategy can help teams place workloads closer to facilities, users, plants, campuses, or business operations without adding unnecessary distance or complexity.

Why would I deliberately choose a regional market?

Stay close to the business

Keep infrastructure near the plants, offices, campuses, users, or data that depend on it.

Build in more separation

Add geographic diversity so one location issue does not become a bigger business problem.

Avoid major metro constraints

Give yourself more options when capacity, timing, or access are harder to control in larger markets.

Leave room to grow

Choose a market that can support what you need now and where you may need to go next.

Find the Right Regional Market for Your Colocation Deployment

DartPoints operates regional data centers across the Southeast, Midwest, and South-Central U.S., giving customers options for proximity, resiliency, connectivity, and growth.

Not every site is the right fit for every workload. DartPoints can help evaluate market availability, power requirements, density, connectivity, timing, and growth path.

Connectivity that supports every colocation path

Colocation decisions often depend on how the environment connects to users, cloud platforms, carriers, partners, and other sites.

DartPoints supports network services, cloud connectivity, carrier access, and peering options across its regional data center footprint. These capabilities support local colocation, enterprise colocation, AI/GPU colocation, hybrid cloud, disaster recovery, and distributed infrastructure strategies.

Colocation Capacity Where Regional Demand is Growing

Current and planned expansion activity includes Columbus, Cincinnati, Columbia, and Greenville, with additional growth opportunities in markets such as Baton Rouge and Lexington. These investments are focused on adding capacity where power, connectivity, customer demand, and deployment timing line up.
DartPoints is expanding capacity across regional markets where organizations need practical alternatives to crowded major data center hubs.
For colocation customers, that matters because site fit is not just about square footage. It is about available power, density, connectivity, timing, and whether the market supports the way the workload needs to run.

Let’s talk about your colocation requirements

Whether you need a full rack in a regional facility, a 15kW to 500kW enterprise deployment, or a larger high-density environment, DartPoints can help you evaluate the right market, capacity, connectivity, and deployment path.

Frequently Asked Questions

Colocation allows organizations to place their servers, storage, networking equipment, and other critical infrastructure in a third-party data center instead of operating everything in their own facility. It gives teams access to power, cooling, physical security, connectivity, and operational support without the cost and complexity of building and maintaining a data center.
DartPoints supports three colocation paths: local colocation, enterprise colocation, and AI/GPU colocation. Local colocation starts at one full rack. Enterprise colocation typically supports 20kW to 500kW production workloads. AI/GPU colocation is designed for larger high-density deployments, typically 500kW or more.
Yes. DartPoints supports local colocation for customers that need at least one full rack in a professionally managed regional data center. We do not position our colocation offer around sub- rack or 1U deployments.
Common workloads include enterprise applications, virtualization platforms, private cloud infrastructure, AI and GPU environments, disaster recovery deployments, analytics platforms, healthcare systems, manufacturing applications, and other business-critical workloads.
Yes. DartPoints supports high-density environments designed for AI, GPU, analytics, and other compute-intensive workloads. Our team can help assess power, cooling, and capacity requirements for your deployment.
Regional colocation can help organizations place infrastructure closer to operations, users, facilities, or regional markets. For many teams, it can also support resiliency, access, deployment timing, and workload placement goals without relying only on crowded major data center hubs.
Contiguous space keeps your deployment within a single adjacent area, which can simplify management and future expansion. Non-contiguous space may span multiple areas within a facility. Understanding the difference is important when planning for growth.
Deployment timelines depend on power requirements, facility availability, and project complexity. DartPoints works closely with customers to identify available capacity and realistic delivery timelines based on their requirements.
It can be. Many organizations use colocation as part of a hybrid cloud strategy to support predictable workloads, maintain greater control over infrastructure, and use public cloud where it makes the most sense. For some workloads, colocation can provide a more predictable operating model than running everything in public cloud.
DartPoints supports carrier access, network services, cloud connectivity, and peering options across its regional data center footprint. Connectivity requirements should be evaluated as part of site fit, workload placement, resiliency planning, and deployment design.
