A data center colocation is a type of data center that enables its operators to rent out its space. There are multiple types of data center colocations, which include retail colocation, wholesale colocation, and hybrid cloud-based colocation. The data center colocation offers multiple benefits to its operators, such as reliable power and cooling systems for users. It also offers cost-saving benefits to data center operators, as it eliminates the need for businesses to build and maintain their own data center facilities. The colocation also enhances the operators' stability and optimizes the data center's performance.

With the increasing demand for data center colocation globally, various key players entered the data center colocation market. For instance, in June 2024, Cisco, a global technological leader, launched its new Nexus HyperFabric AI clusters, a new data center infrastructure solution for NVIDIA.
