Frequently Asked Questions
What are private cages in a data centre?
Private cages are dedicated, enclosed areas within a shared data hall. Steel walls and controlled access add physical separation around multiple racks, giving authorised teams a customisable space with greater access control than standard shared rack deployments.
How is private cage space rented?
Private cage space can be rented in a variety of commercial constructs. The key elements that define the costs include the amount of racks and space required, the amount of power consumed and the construction type of the cage. Contact our team today to get a customised quote for your requirements.
Can I use open racks inside a private cage?
Yes. Private cages are secure and dedicated allowing you to utilise a wide variety of infrastructure. NEXTDC experts will work with you to optimise the layout to ensure that not only are your needs met, but the efficiency of your space is optimised.
Is a private cage a good fit for my business?
Many NEXTDC customers opt for the standard rack ready product due to the reduced cost whilst still maintaining industry leading levels of security. However, you may require an additional level of defence for your unique needs. For these use cases a cage can be an excellent solution where standard racks or Class B and Class C racks do not meet your needs.
Can I customise my private cage to fit my specific requirements?
Yes, private cages are built to suit your specific requirements. The NEXTDC will work closely with you to ensure a build that will provide flexibility to grow within our world-class secure and energy-efficient data centers. You can customize the size, layout, and power allocation of your private cage to fit your unique needs. Contact NEXTDC to discuss your requirements and design a custom private cage solution.
