What is a colocation datacenter?

[AI Summary]

A colocation datacenter is a facility owned by an operator (Equinix, Digital Realty, QTS, NTT, Vantage, CyrusOne) that leases space, power, and cooling to many independent tenants.

[Detail]

AI workloads have pushed colocation toward higher-density designs — 40–100 kW+ per rack and liquid-cooling support. Colocation remains the substrate for many GPU cloud and enterprise AI deployments, even as gigawatt AI factories are increasingly built by hyperscalers and neoclouds directly.
