Request a Colocation Quote
What to include when asking NoBull Networks for a Seattle colocation quote: rack units, power draw, port speed, billing model, and IP requirements.
Colocation at NoBull Networks is quoted per deployment by an engineer, not priced off a rate card by a sales script. That means the quality of your quote depends on the quality of your request. Here is exactly what to send so the first reply is a line-item quote rather than a list of questions.
Where to ask#
Open a ticket with the sales department in MyNobull (create a free account first if you do not have one), or use the contact form. Either way, an engineer picks it up. The colocation page covers the facility, power, and network background.
What to include#
- Rack units
- How many U you need now, and any growth you expect in the next year. We quote from a single 1U up to 10U slots, with quarter and half rack footprints subject to availability. Larger footprints are handled case by case; ask, and you will get a straight answer about what we can commit to.
- Power draw
- Expected amps per feed, or the wattage of each device. Our standard drop is 208V single-phase on 20A circuits, delivered as independent A+B feeds for dual-PSU hardware, with metered per-amp commitments. Say if you need a custom power configuration.
- Port speed
- 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps, and how many ports (a single uplink, or redundant pairs).
- Billing model
- Flat-rate port, or a 95th percentile commit. If you are unsure, attach 30 days of traffic graphs and we will run the numbers both ways. See Flat-Rate vs 95th Percentile Billing.
- IP requirements
- How many IPv4 and IPv6 addresses you need, or whether you will bring your own ARIN or RIPE prefixes for us to announce. Mention it here if you believe you need a customer-run BGP session; it is not the default and we would rather discuss it early. See IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses.
- Connectivity extras
- Dedicated Lumen transit or a dedicated Seattle Internet Exchange (SIX) connection are available as options and are engineered and quoted case by case.
- Hardware and timing
- What you are racking (make and model, depth, rails included or not), whether it ships pre-racked, and when you would like to be live.
What you get back#
A line-item quote for your exact deployment: space, power commit, ports and bandwidth model, IP space, and any options, with the recurring price and any one-time setup broken out separately. Colocation carries our credit-backed 99.9% network uptime SLA, A+B redundant power, and 24/7 monitoring, and those terms are stated in the quote rather than buried.
After you accept#
We set up the service in MyNobull, confirm the shipping address and receiving window, and walk you through the handoff. What happens when the hardware arrives is covered in Shipping Hardware and Remote Hands.
