For IT buyers · Vendor-neutral

European colocation,
matched without bias.

You need power, floor space, and compliance — not a quarter-long procurement cycle with eight providers asking the same questions. We do that work once, anonymously, and bring back a shortlist that can actually deliver.

"Can actually deliver" is the operative phrase. In the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany the scarce asset is the grid connection, not the hall — and a facility's marketed capacity is not the same thing as capacity it has been granted.

Process

Four steps. Roughly four to six weeks.

  1. Submit an anonymized RFQ

    Power, space, location, compliance. Five minutes. Your identity stays confidential — only the technical envelope leaves our office.

  2. NCNDA before any provider sees you

    Mutual non-circumvention, non-disclosure agreement signed by us, you, and any provider we approach. No exceptions.

  3. Pre-vetted shortlist

    Matched against our network of European facilities. We disqualify the ones that cannot actually deliver against your envelope, and tell you why.

  4. Site visits and contract review

    You meet shortlisted providers under your real identity. We assist on commercial terms; the contract is between you and the provider — never us.

Tools

Two calculators that do the obvious math for you.

Indicative numbers, not quotes. The PDF lives in your inbox in under a minute and ends with the assumption set we used — so you can argue with it.

01 / TCO

Powered shell vs. full colocation

Total cost of ownership over 1–10 years across geography, tier, and PUE. Sensitivity table included.

The binding constraint

We screen for grid capacity before we screen for anything else.

Grid congestion is the defining condition of the European datacenter market right now, and it is distributed unevenly. Dutch grid operators publish availability per service area, and the unit is the substation — so congestion is a sub-region problem, sometimes a single-substation problem, and never usefully described as a national figure.

What that means for a buyer is unglamorous but expensive: a facility can market capacity that exists on a drawing and not in a signed connection agreement. Discovering that at contract stage costs a quarter. So the first question we put to a provider is not what they can offer, but what they have actually been granted, and when it energises.

This is also why we do not treat "find me space" as the brief. Power availability, connection queue position, and the density a hall can really cool are the filters that determine your shortlist. Floor space is the easy part.

New to working with a broker? What a datacenter broker does, and what it does not — including the four situations where you do not need one.
