There are lots of decisions to make prior to co-locating your private infrastructure in a data center.
Start a conversation with us, we love sharing our experience and helping you through the process.
How we can help:
[diagram / infographic of process?]
Supply chain logistics: handled
Devices: Racked, stacked, patched, and ready for login
Over days or weeks your gear starts arriving at the data center. Your switches, servers, storage nodes, KVMs, console servers, cables, and accessories.
You are then faced with the daunting task of unpacking the gear, racking it, and making it accessible.
Are you looking forward to spending weeks in a remote location busting knuckles on server rails and pulling hair getting devices remotely accessible?
Would it be easier if you had a partner managing the deployment project process for you?
[ nice photos of tidily cabled gear ]
Infrassembly will help you figure out where each piece of equipment should be located.
We plan how it should all connect.
We keep track of your orders and delivery supply chain logistics.
We work with the data center remote hands to get your equipment racked, powered, and tidily cabled.
When we are done, we hand over access to your devops team.
You now have remote access to an environment primed to deploy your digital services.
Data center hardware monitored
Failures found and fixed
Environment visualized
You can’t have hardware without hardware failures.
Drives fail. Switch ports die. Fans stop spinning. Power supplies stop supplying power. Uplinks can max out. Servers can stop pinging. Unmonitored PDU power usage can trip breakers.

A good co-located hosting setup will make it possible for you to have the redundancy and resiliency required for peace of mind.
We help create a physically redundant environment .
Our Infrassembly platform monitors your hardware. By configuring alerts we can detect and resolve failures - sometimes even before they occur - in your resilient hardware setup.
Infrassembly resolves these problems as they occur, often before they have any impact on your services.
With Infrassembly your hardware is managed so that hardware problems don't become business problems .
Our staff are experts in getting to the root cause of hardware issues.
On a daily basis we sort out: drives, PSUs, fans, CPUs, memory. We are familiar with many hardware brands.

Decades of experience
Data centers around the world
Cabinets and cages
Remotely managing servers, switches, console servers, firewalls
The founders behind Infrassembly have been managing co-location hosting operations since 2003 across 18 different data centers .
They have managed RimuHosting's hosting infrastructure. As well as private clients' hardware clusters, and co-located hardware.
Join thousands of others who have had success trusting our staff to manage their data-center based digital infrastructure.
The ideas for many great businesses are inspired by the skills and experiences of their founders .
The Infrassembly team’s expertise developed through managing RimuHosting’s hosting infrastructure.
RimuHosting introduced technology that made it possible for a single physical server to be split into multiple virtual machines. They provide this virtual-machine-as-a-service using servers co-located in data centers.
The Infrassembly staff manage RimuHosting’s footprints in data centers across North America, Europe and Oceania.
The RimuHosting setup is typically: network link from the data center, core network, top of rack switches, and compute device intensive cabinets hosting VM hypervisor hosts.
Typical equipment in their environment includes Cisco Nexus switches, and Supermicro servers.
Accessible via Slack channel
Regular video meetings
A real partner in your operations team
Infrassembly staff manage the co-location hosting operation for an Nasdaq 100 client running an IoT device business.
Our clients' remote devices offload and store data on their data center co-located servers.
Their customers can then manage their devices from a dashboard running on hardware in the data center.
Our private client's data center operations manager says:
I really appreciate what you [..] guys did to make me successful at [private client]
Typical equipment in their environment includes ASR routers, Nexus distribution and top of rack switching.
Each rack includes compute servers with integrated storage. Typically fibre from data center entrance to server port. They typically operate from biometrically secured private cages in the data center.

Infrassembly staff handle incoming pallets of servers and switches , get them into cabinets, and configure them to the point of remote access for the client’s site reliability engineering (SRE) team.
Infrassembly is a trusted partner to our client's data center operations team.
Our network team has architected a resilient WAN that connects these globally distributed locations.
We share a Slack channel, which is convenient for co-ordinating ad-hoc tasks, and for planning.
A weekly video call helps ensure that projects are progressing apace, and everyone is on top of any issues.
I have been leading IT departments for more than 15 years in world class organizations like Bell Atlantic, Verizon,
Cemex, Gerdau, etc. Let me tell you that I have never been so impressed. The quality of your technical support staff and the
way they care for customer satisfaction is superb.
- Miguel
Just want to express my appreciation on how well Rimuhosting supports and communicates with the clients. Rimuhosting is
truly an amazing company to stay with. Thanks for all of your great work.
- Aaron
Your team is phenomenal, I've dealt with many people on your team so far and I think your "Support is
definitely Worth Raving About"
- Fady
Thanks for this, really makes the value in managed servers clear!
- Tony
Thank you so much. I've feel like I've stumbled into an alternate universe with the support I've gotten in the short
time I've been a customer. You guys are awesome.
- Kevin
By the way, you guys are awesome and have the best response time of any company I've ever worked with. And I've worked
with HP, IBM, etc. all on supposed "Tier 1" accounts. Those were full of epic fail.
- Chris
I just wanted to thank you so much for all the great service and excellent support you provided me through out the last
2 years here. I think you guys really ROCK. You are professional, attentive to detail and best of all you have
amazing response turn around.
- Maissa
Thank you very much for all your help. You guys spoil me. Excellence is so rare in customer service these
days and it's a delight to receive it so consistently from you!
- Steve
You know, business is business, but you guys are the best I've run across in MANY years of IT... I'm the IT Principal
Architect for a global company and have seen the range of services - your group has been consistently solid with
communication, responsiveness, and relationships.
- Jim
This is a big moment for us, as we finally begin to roll out our betas. And there's no other hosting
company I'd trust to be with right now than Rimu. From our days in Boston, to Chicago, and now finally in Palo Alto - I'm
glad we've stuck with you. Thank you for running such a great company with such great employees
- Atif
The BBC are hosting their cutting edge projects at Rimu, and we're very happy with the service.

If it was biologically possible I would have your babies.

Like being in control?
Prefer money in your pocket , not Amazon's?
But: can it be done easily?
Co-location can be a better alternative to hyperscale cloud services
Everything old is new again. We are seeing businesses that want to have more control over their web services moving from public cloud providers back onto their own equipment within data centers.
Why co-locate?
But: it’s a bit more work and requires a bit of thought. Make it easy with a partner who has been doing it for years.
