Per-U colocation in Seattle, from a network that already runs
We are building per-U colocation at the Westin for small networks: your hardware, your ASN, your prefixes, a BGP session, and IPv6 that is not an afterthought. It does not exist yet. This page exists so you can tell us what you need before it does.
Before you read any further
This is a pre-launch interest register. Nothing here is a quote, no capacity is reserved, and no service is being sold today.
Tell us what you need
Three fields are required: your name, your email, and whether this is a colocation enquiry or a plain question. Everything else is optional and shapes what we build.
What a U gets you
The 1U shape, in full. The larger shapes add rack units and power and change nothing else.
- 1U, one amp at 208 volts — about 200 W continuous, at the 80%-of-rated convention
- A 1 Gbps port with a 10 TB/mo transfer allowance
- One IPv4 address and a /64 — and a /48 with every service
- A BGP session to your ASN, filtered against IRR and RPKI
- IPMI reachable over a WireGuard out-of-band link, never the public internet
- RTBH and FastNetMon as the abuse baseline
- Escorted access, and basic remote hands at no charge
Transfer beyond the allowance is billed; the rate publishes with the rest of our pricing. The 1U shape is metered by allowance, not by 95th percentile.
Why us, specifically
A network before a building
A Seattle ASN already running BGP on two continents, building per-U colocation at the Westin. AS402801 announces its own IPv6 /48s out of an ARIN /40 allocation — it does not originate the /40.
Bring your ASN, bring your prefixes
BYOIP at no additional charge. We filter against IRR and RPKI, invalids are dropped, and a hijacked announcement is an immediate suspension.
IPv6-first, IPv4 honest
A /48 with every service. The ARIN IPv4 /24 waitlist runs about 9–14 months, which is why IPv4 is metered and IPv6 is not.
Three languages, spoken
English, Ukrainian and Russian, by the people who already answer the phone at Andrii Co. This site is English only; the support is not.
Someone who can get there
The operator is based in Bothell, north of the city. Hands-on time depends on traffic, and we do not promise a response time before launch.
Where this is going
2001 Sixth Avenue — the Westin Building Exchange — is where Seattle's networks meet. Its operator publishes roughly 73,000 sq ft of retail colocation, cages from 200 to 10,000 sq ft, up to 150 W per sq ft, 17 generators totalling 19.5 MW, N+1 cooling and more than 200 carriers on site.
The Seattle Internet Exchange, whose core sites include the Westin, publishes 368 networks, 436 routers, about 221,000 routes and a 3.70 Tbps peak in April 2026.
Are you on the SIX? Not yet. We are confirming whether our cabinet can take a cross-connect to the SIX switch, and we will publish the answer here. Our routing design assumes two transit upstreams regardless.
These are the building operator's and the exchange's published figures. We are not a SIX participant today and we hold no cabinet at the Westin; a shared sub-tenant cabinet is typically single-feed.
Four shapes, and a managed option on every one
We do not publish prices yet. We have requested no quotes and hold no cabinet, so any number we printed today would be a planning figure we would have to retract. Tell us the shape you need and a budget band, and you will get a written quote as soon as our own are in.
Each shape is a row of attributes — rack units, amps, port speed, transfer allowance, IPv6, a BGP session to your ASN, out-of-band access, remote hands. That is what a buyer compares.
Colo-1U “Peer”
1U, one amp, a 1 Gbps port, 10 TB/mo, a /48, a BGP session, IPMI over WireGuard.
Colo-2U
Two rack units and more power. Otherwise the 1U shape, unchanged.
Colo-4U
Four rack units and more power again — the shape an MSP placing a customer's box usually asks for.
Colo-10U “Grow”
A locking 10U section with a 250 Mbps 95th-percentile commit. Later phase — enquire. Until we hold a full cabinet this is a referral, and we will say so.
Managed, on any of them
Managed is an option on every tier, not a fifth tier: remote hands beyond the basic allowance, OS install and configuration, monitoring, patching, backups, and managed BGP when you want your own ASN announced without running the session yourself. Scope is set in a managed-services schedule to the master agreement.
Transit for colocation customers is sold as 95th-percentile commits from 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps.
Where we are, and what moves it
- 1 Gate 1 — quotes and verificationRequests for quotes on space, power, cross-connects and transit; the exchange application; a Washington Department of Revenue ruling request; insurance quotes. The gate closes when the operating costs are backed by written quotes instead of desk research.
- 2 Gate 2 — demand validationStructured interviews, and this register. The gate closes on at least two anchor commitments and a test of the shapes above against what people will actually pay.
Registering interest is what moves gate 2.
Questions people ask first
Is anything for sale today?
No. Nothing here is a quote, no capacity is reserved, and no service is being sold. Registering interest creates no contract and reserves nothing.
Do you manage the server too?
That is the managed option: hands beyond the basic allowance, OS install and configuration, monitoring, patching, backups, and managed BGP for a customer who wants their own ASN announced without running the session. Scope lives in a managed-services schedule to the master agreement.
Can I bring my own IP space?
Yes — BYOIP at no additional charge, with a valid letter of authorisation, RPKI ROAs and matching IRR objects. Invalids are dropped.
Tell us the shape you need
Name, email, and whether this is a colocation enquiry or a plain question. Everything else is optional — and the optional parts are what tell us whether to build the managed line at all.
Everything on this page describes a service we intend to offer. It is not a binding offer capable of acceptance, no capacity is reserved, nothing here is a quote, and specifications will change. Our Terms explain what this page is and is not.
