Datacenter & Infrastructure Engineering
Colocation and data center engineering: we set up rack layout, power and cooling capacity, cabling and hardware placement to carry your growth.
What we deliver
Rack layout, unit placement and weight distribution planned. Power and cooling capacity for dense servers calculated in advance rather than discovered after installation.
Dual feed, UPS capacity and generator start time verified. Redundancy is proven by testing it, not by its presence on a diagram.
Hot and cold aisle containment, airflow management and hotspot monitoring. Dense GPU and compute racks assessed separately for thermal load.
Copper and fiber cabling installed to standard, labeling discipline maintained and the connection map kept current. An unlabeled cable is time lost during a fault.
Server, storage and network hardware recorded with serial number, warranty status and location, so it is known where spare parts will come from before they are needed.
Rack and floor access authorized, entry records kept, and access evidence ready for audit.
Colocation, your own server room, or cloud?
When a multi-site company centralizes its infrastructure there are three routes: keep the hardware in your own room, host it in a data center (colocation), or move it to the cloud. The decision depends on how predictable the capacity is and on who carries the hardware lifecycle.
| Your own server room | Eclit colocation | |
|---|---|---|
| Power and cooling | You run and test the generator, UPS and air conditioning | Part of the service; redundancy is proven by drills, not assumed |
| Physical security | Doors, cameras and access logs are on you | Cabinet and floor access is authorized, entries are logged, audit evidence is ready |
| Cabinets and cabling | Unlabeled cables and unplanned layouts over time | Layout plan, power distribution, color and labeling scheme in writing |
| Capacity | Power and cooling estimated when a new server is added | Cabinet fill, power draw and cooling margin are measured and reported |
| Day-to-day operation | Your team on site | If you wish, cabinet layout, cabling and the daily operation of the hardware are ours |
| Disaster recovery | A second room, a second investment | Colocation with your own hardware, or DRaaS with no hardware to buy |
Cloud is usually cheaper for variable workloads and colocation for predictable, long-lived ones; the two are often built together. Cloud Servers and Managed Cloud (IaaS) →
The character of the workload picks the route
| Workload | Suitable route | Cost tendency |
|---|---|---|
| Predictable, long-lived: ERP, database, file server | Colocation: your hardware, our data center | Low over the long term |
| Variable, seasonal: campaigns, e-commerce | Cloud: resources that grow and shrink with the load | Usage-based |
| Critical and outage-sensitive | Colocation or cloud, plus a disaster recovery site | High; set by RPO and RTO |
In multi-site companies, branch systems connect to the data center rather than to head office; an outage at head office does not stop the branches.
What drives the price of colocation
- Space: number of cabinets, or rack units (U) within a cabinet
- Power: kW drawn per cabinet and feed redundancy
- Connectivity: bandwidth and number of carriers
- Scope of service: hosting only, or installation and daily operation as well
- Contract term and exit terms
For a quote, a hardware list, the total power requirement and the number of cabinets needed are enough.
Your hardware in Türkiye, on record
Your hardware sits in data centers in Türkiye; power, cooling and physical security are part of the service.
Cabinet and floor access is authorized and entries are logged; the evidence an audit asks for is ready.
Cabinet fill, power draw, power density and cooling margin are reported.
Our business continuity and information security management systems are certified; certificates can be verified through TÜRKAK.
Certifications →How it works
Every engagement follows the same five steps: baseline the current state, design the target model, roll out in stages, operate it, and improve against measurements.
Assess
Baseline the current state, name the gaps and put the success criteria in writing.
Design
Architect the target operating model and the toolchain it needs.
Deploy
Implement, configure and validate in a staged rollout.
Operate
24/7 management with contracted response times and proactive monitoring.
Improve
Continuous improvement driven by metrics, incidents and changes in the business.
Every engagement runs under a written SLA: a commitment, not a best-effort promise.
Dedicated engineers who know your stack. No generalist help-desk tier in between.
Service reviews every two weeks, roadmap updates every quarter.

The concepts behind this service
- Edge computing
- Processing close to where data is produced rather than in a central data center.
- Physical server
- A server running directly on hardware, not virtualized.
- Colocation
- Housing your own server and network hardware in rented rack space at a data center.
- Data center
- A facility housing server, storage and network hardware with power, cooling and physical security.

10 min read01What is the data center service, and what does it cover?
Hosting your hardware in data centers in Türkiye (colocation) and the engineering of that layer: rack layout and weight distribution, power and cooling capacity calculated in advance, a cabling and labeling standard, migration projects planned with a downtime budget, and reporting of capacity and energy consumption. Power, cooling and physical security belong to the facility; day-to-day operation of the hardware is ours if you want it.
02How do multi-site companies centralize their infrastructure: colocation or cloud?
First, branch systems should connect to a data center rather than to the room at head office, so an outage at head office does not stop the branches. Then the workloads are classified: predictable, long-lived workloads (ERP, database, file server) are usually cheaper in colocation; variable workloads such as campaigns belong in the cloud. The two can be built together: hardware in our data center, variable capacity in the cloud, both on the same network.
03What determines the price of colocation?
Five factors: space (cabinets or rack units), power (kW per cabinet and feed redundancy), connectivity (bandwidth and number of carriers), scope of service (hosting only, or installation and daily operation) and contract term. Power is usually the biggest item: in dense server and GPU cabinets the kW drawn exceeds the cost of the space.
04Can it be used as a disaster recovery site (FKM) as well?
Yes. Colocation for those who want to build a second facility with their own hardware; our DRaaS model for those who want a ready recovery environment without installing hardware, described on the Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity page. In both cases the second facility must not share the primary center's risks, and the switch-over must be measured in a drill.
05Do you offer colocation?
Yes. Your servers, storage and network hardware are hosted in data centers in Türkiye; power, cooling and physical security are part of the service. If you want, we also take on rack layout, cabling and the day-to-day operation of the hardware.
06What should we look for when choosing a data center?
A tier rating on its own is not enough: whether power genuinely arrives on two independent feeds, cooling redundancy, carrier diversity and the latency between you and the facility all matter. So do the transfer and exit clauses: some facilities are easy to enter and hard to leave.
07Colocation, our own server room, or cloud?
It depends on how predictable the capacity is and who takes on the hardware lifecycle. Predictable, long-lived workloads are usually cheaper in colocation; variable ones in the cloud. Your own server room only makes sense if you can genuinely operate power, cooling and physical security.
08How much downtime does a migration involve?
It varies by system. Where replication can pre-synchronize, cutover is measured in minutes; hardware that has to move physically needs a window measured in hours. Migration waves are planned so each wave has a known downtime budget.
09Do you apply a cabling and labeling standard inside the rack?
Yes. Rack layout, power distribution, and color and label schemes are defined in writing. This shortens the time it takes to find the right cable during a fault, which is where a significant share of incident time is lost.
10Do you report capacity and power consumption?
Yes: rack occupancy, power draw, power density and cooling headroom. Before new hardware goes in, the rack's power and cooling budget is verified by measurement.
