Colocation and private infrastructure in the Amsterdam region and Frankfurt
What should we set up for you?
Your own servers
Colocation for your servers, in a half or full rack in the Amsterdam region or a full cabinet in Frankfurt. We provide power, connectivity and on-site installation.
Your own private cloud
A private cloud on hardware you own. We select, install and configure an open-source platform for your applications.
Your own AI infrastructure
Run your AI models on GPU servers you own. We install and connect your equipment, and can supply new hardware when needed.

What do we handle, and what do you control?
Your team runs its applications and manages its data. We prepare the infrastructure and agree with you which parts our engineers will support.
| Layer | You | ServerKing |
|---|---|---|
| Applications and data | Manage your applications and data | Look after the agreed infrastructure supporting them |
| Operating system and platform | Manage these yourself, or ask us to help | Install, configure and support your platform as agreed for your project |
| Servers, storage and GPUs | Bring your own equipment or buy it through us | Help select hardware when needed, then install, cable and test it |
| Network and connectivity | Tell us your connectivity requirements | Connect your equipment and configure switches, BGP and uplinks as agreed |
| Rack, power and cooling | Choose the rack space and power your equipment needs | Provide the rack, power, cooling and metered PDUs for your location |
| Datacenter | Visit your equipment under the access rules of your location | Arrange placement in datacenters in the Netherlands and Frankfurt |
We never access your data.
Hardware purchases, custom network setups, platform services and ongoing support are quoted separately.
When does owning your infrastructure make sense?
Your cloud costs keep growing
A workload that made sense in the cloud at the beginning can become expensive as usage grows.
You need more control over where your data runs
Your applications and data stay on hardware you own and control.
You need dedicated GPU infrastructure
Run AI workloads on your own GPU servers instead of renting compute capacity by the hour.
You want to avoid platform lock-in
Build your infrastructure around open-source platforms and hardware you own.
