Colocation in the United States

The major concentration is in Northern Virginia (Ashburn), New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, Seattle, and Silicon Valley.

Data Center Alley refers to the concentration of colocation facilities in Ashburn, Virginia and the surrounding Northern Virginia corridor. Over 70 percent of global internet traffic routes through this area, driven by the proximity of major backbone providers, federal government networks, undersea cable landings, and cloud region infrastructure. The Equinix DC campus alone connects 504 networks, making it the densest network aggregation point in the US.

Yes. Reboot Monkey covers all 1,384 US facilities under a single master services agreement. The same SLA, same chain-of-proof documentation protocol, and same dispatch process apply across Ashburn, New York, Dallas, Los Angeles, Chicago, Silicon Valley, Phoenix, Denver, and Seattle. You do not need separate contracts per facility or per metro.

Incidents are covered by a 1-hour, around-the-clock response SLA, and in the US on-site response times for P1 incidents are agreed per site in your service agreement. The US NOC operates UTC 13:00 to 01:00, with the global follow-the-sun NOC covering all remaining hours. Every P1 response includes timestamped chain-of-proof photographic documentation delivered to the client before the engineer leaves the facility.

US colocation pricing varies by metro. Ashburn half-rack pricing typically runs $400-$800 per month. New York commands a 20-40 percent premium over Ashburn for equivalent quality. Dallas and Phoenix typically run 15-25 percent below Ashburn. Power costs, cross-connect fees, and facility tier all affect total cost. For Reboot Monkey physical services, a standard remote hands task starts at $150 per hour during business hours.

By total networks: Los Angeles leads with 879 networks across 37 facilities (23.8 per facility). By average networks per facility: Dallas leads at 27.5 networks per facility across 29 facilities, followed by Chicago at 25.3 and Seattle at 24.1. By individual facility: Equinix DC1-DC15 Ashburn connects 504 networks, the highest single-facility count in the US.

SOC 2 Type II is the de facto enterprise standard in the US. HIPAA compliance (via Business Associate Agreement) is required for healthcare workloads. PCI-DSS applies to payment processing infrastructure. FedRAMP Authorization is required for federal cloud services. At the state level, CCPA/CPRA (California), CDPA (Virginia), CPA (Colorado), and CTDPA (Connecticut) apply to data of residents of those states regardless of where processing occurs.

EDCS OÜ is incorporated in Estonia, making it an EU entity. This means Reboot Monkey operates under EU-level data processing standards as a baseline, which is stricter than most US state requirements. For clients with cross-Atlantic operations, this structure simplifies compliance by applying a single high-water-mark framework. Specific compliance requirements (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, FedRAMP) are addressed at the service delivery level with documentation and audit trail support.
