Retail colocation

A reliable and flexible environment designed for companies to host their infrastructure in secure, high-performance facilities while maintaining full operational control.

Private cage

An isolated and customisable space within our data centers, ensuring privacy, control and tailored security for businesses that require dedicated physical boundaries.

Private room

A fully dedicated data hall offering maximum isolation and operational autonomy – ideal for enterprises with significant infrastructure needs and strict security requirements.

Dedicated data centers

Bespoke infrastructure co-designed with the customer, delivering the highest levels of resilience, customisation and data sovereignty for mission-critical operations.

European colocation for mission-critical workloads

Aruba-owned, certified data centers powered by renewable energy, carrier-neutral connectivity, integrated cloud services, and AI-ready infrastructure: everything you need to build reliable, scalable, and fully controlled digital foundations.

Modern organizations face growing complexity: mission-critical workloads, regulatory requirements, AI initiatives, operational continuity, and sustainability goals. In this context, colocation is no longer simply a place to host servers; it is an architectural choice that enables organizations to maintain control over their most strategic infrastructure while integrating it with cloud, connectivity, and advanced digital services.

With Aruba, you can host your infrastructure in enterprise-grade, Aruba-owned data centers designed and operated in Europe, powered by 100% renewable energy and interconnected with Europe’s leading digital ecosystem.

Why choose colocation today: control, flexibility, and business continuity

Organizations are re-evaluating the role of physical infrastructure within their digital strategies. The growth of AI, increasing regulatory requirements, the need to protect critical data and applications, and the search for more sustainable models are bringing colocation back to the center of IT strategies.

Aruba Colocation enables organizations to:

Maintain full control of their hardware

Integrate cloud and on-premises environments

Ensure data residency in Europe

Reduce operational complexity

Increase service resilience and availability


Build your IT environment

Organizations are no longer looking for infrastructure alone; they need architectures capable of supporting growth, innovation, compliance, and business continuity.

AI-Ready

AI adoption requires infrastructure with high power availability, advanced cooling capabilities, low latency, data proximity, and extensive interconnection capacity. Aruba Data Centers are designed to support compute-intensive workloads, providing the conditions needed to scale AI and data-driven initiatives.

Business continuity by design

Aruba designs infrastructure environments with full redundancy across critical systems, resilient power supply, multiple network paths, continuous monitoring, and 24/7 specialist support. The goal is to ensure business continuity, even in the most demanding environments.

Connectivity and interconnection

The value of a colocation solution also depends on the quality of its connectivity. Through a carrier-neutral approach, Aruba provides direct access to national and international Internet Exchanges, hyperscalers, carriers, technology partners, and dedicated private networks, reducing latency, increasing resilience, and ensuring maximum freedom of choice.

Integrated compliance and governance

European regulations are reshaping the way organizations design their digital environments. Aruba supports strategies aligned with European regulatory frameworks and data sovereignty and residency requirements. Compliance and governance are embedded into the infrastructure from the outset.

From infrastructure to architecture

Every organization has different requirements. For this reason, Aruba complements its colocation services with specialized infrastructure design expertise, supporting IT modernization projects, hybrid architectures, multi-cloud strategies, business continuity, and disaster recovery initiatives. An approach that transforms colocation from a simple infrastructure service into a platform for digital evolution.
