For Customers
Consistent Framework. Transparent Site Capabilities.
Powered by GridColo helps customers evaluate participating data center facilities through a standardized marketplace, service framework, workflow model, and program-tier structure. Capabilities, reliability classification, SLA terms, and service availability remain site-specific.
Important: Powered by GridColo program tier is not the same as facility reliability tier. A site's reliability classification, redundancy architecture, SLA terms, compliance posture, and service capabilities should be reviewed in the site-specific exhibit. Program tiers define the level of marketplace, workflow, compliance, and operations support available — not the facility's physical design characteristics.
A Common Framework, Site-Specific Capabilities
What each program tier means for customers
GridColo Listed
Discover and compare facilities using standardized capability profiles. Initiate quote requests directly through the marketplace.
GridColo Integrated
Use standardized commercial, service-order, identity, access, and workflow interfaces where adopted by the operator.
Powered by GridColo Assured
Evaluate compliance-readiness support, control mapping, evidence workflows, and operating maturity at this facility.
Powered by GridColo Managed
Benefit from central monitoring overlay, escalation coordination, and structured incident communication where included.
A Common Evaluation Framework
Standardized presentation. Site-specific detail.
Participating facilities present their capabilities, operating posture, compliance readiness, reliability classification, and program tier in a standardized format so customers can evaluate sites clearly — whether comparing options in the marketplace or reviewing a specific facility for procurement.
Managed-tier facilities include central monitoring and escalation coordination. Other participating facilities provide visibility, workflow, compliance, and service capabilities according to their program tier.
Standardized capability profiles across all participating facilities
Consistent commercial and service-order workflows where adopted
Compliance posture clearly presented at Assured and Managed tiers
Central monitoring and escalation coordination at Managed tier only
Reliability classification, SLA terms, and service capabilities are site-specific

Compliance and Security
Transparency, not a blanket promise.
Participating facilities present their compliance readiness and security posture according to their program tier. Assured and Managed tier operators receive structured compliance-readiness support. Independent certification and attestation outcomes remain dependent on each operator's implementation.
What Customers Can Review

Growing Network
A network of independently owned, program-aligned facilities.
Customers expanding to new markets can evaluate new facilities through the same standardized marketplace and program framework. Each site is independently owned and operated, with capabilities and terms reviewed site-by-site.
Built with GridCore. Powered by GridColo.
Some facilities in the network may also be built with GridCore, the campus framework for large-scale developments.
