Help clients compare UK colocation without becoming a broker.
When a client asks about moving servers out of the office, building a DR site, reducing cloud spend or finding rack space, CageLab helps you scope the requirement and compare suitable UK colocation options.
Colocation questions are hard to answer casually
Clients may ask for “a rack”, “somewhere to host a server”, “a DR site” or “a cheaper alternative to cloud”. The real requirement usually involves power, rack space, connectivity, resilience, location, access, support and contract terms. CageLab helps turn that loose request into a provider-ready brief.

MSP FAQ
Do I need to know about data centres to refer a client?
No. CageLab scopes the requirement with you or directly with the client. You do not need to maintain operator relationships or technical colocation knowledge.
Will CageLab speak directly to my client?
Only if you want us to. You can remain the main contact, include us on a joint call, or hand off the colocation search entirely.
What if the client already has a preferred provider?
CageLab can still help validate the fit, compare alternatives or confirm the provider can meet the specific requirement.
How does CageLab make money?
CageLab may receive fees from operators where a suitable introduction progresses. Any commercial arrangement must not override buyer fit.
Client asking about colocation?
