SolveForce Interconnected Data Centers

Colocation places your servers, storage, and network gear in carrier-dense, power-redundant, compliance-audited facilities—then ties them to clouds, carriers, and campuses with telecom-grade interconnects. SolveForce designs and delivers colo architectures that unify power, cooling, racks/cages, cross-connects, DCI, security, and evidence, with options for standardized Data Center Module (DCM) blueprints for rapid, repeatable footprints.

🎯 What You Get in a SolveForce Colocation Quote

• Space & Power
• Cabinets (lockable), cages, suites; hot/cold aisle containment; floor loading analysis.
• Redundant power (A/B feeds), 120/208V & 415V 3-phase; UPS + generator runtime tiers.
• High-density options (10–30+ kW/rack) with CFD review and containment design.
• Cooling & Environment
• SLA-backed cooling; rack inlet per ASHRAE ranges; humidity control; leak/smoke detection.
• Real-time telemetry: temp/humidity differentials, differential pressure, energy (kWh) per rack.
• Interconnection & Carriers
• Cross-connects (SMF/MMF/copper), meet-me rooms, IX access, cloud on-ramps.
• Metro wave/WDM, DCI (Ethernet/Wavelength), dark fiber options, SD-WAN overlays.
• Security & Operations
• 24×7 staffed NOC/SOC, mantraps, biometrics, CCTV retention, visitor workflows.
• Remote/Smart Hands SLAs; spares lockers; inventory control; shipment & chain-of-custody.
• Compliance & Evidence
• SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, PCI/HIPAA/FedRAMP overlays where required.
• Immutable acceptance bundle: power tests, cross-connect proofs, camera logs, access admits.
• DCM Standardization (optional)
• SolveForce Data Center Module (DCM) reference blueprint for standardized pods (e.g., ~30,000 sq ft), with repeatable power/cooling blocks, interconnect fabric, and runbooks.

🛣️ Quote Process for Colocation

1. Scope & Intake (Day 0–3) — sites/metros, rack counts & kW/rack, density/cooling, compliance scope.
2. Discovery & Provider Graph (Day 3–10) — carrier lists, cloud on-ramps, IX proximity, DCI options.
3. Design-to-Quote (Day 7–14) — layout & one-line power, BoM, interconnect plan, SLOs, acceptance/evidence plan.
4. Review & Refine (Day 14–20) — density tuning, diversity paths, cost/perf trade-offs, compliance overlays.
5. Finalize & Order (Day 20+) — cage/cab build, power turn-up, cross-connects, remote-hands runbooks; acceptance sign-off.

🧪 Acceptance Evidence (Colo-specific)

• Power & Cooling: load bank/transfer tests, UPS/generator logs, thermal images, inlet ΔT reports.
• Interconnects: LOA/CFA, light-level/OTDR (where applicable), cross-connect completion tickets, IX turn-up proofs.
• Security & Access: badge/biometric admits, CCTV time-stamps, visitor logs, chain-of-custody receipts.
• Environment: temp/humidity/leak sensors, smoke test records, maintenance MOPs/EOPs.
• Compliance: SOC 2/ISO/PCI/HIPAA attestation copies (AOC/ROC where applicable).
• Operations: remote-hands work orders, inventory manifests, RMA/DOA evidence.

All artifacts stream to your SIEM/SOAR and are packaged as an immutable acceptance bundle.
