Data Centre Solutions for Managed Service Providers

Discover how our colocation data centre solutions can support MSPs in delivering reliable, scalable colocation infrastructure to your clients — across 6 sovereign UK sites, with PAYG power options and 99.99% uptime.

Reliable, Scalable Data Centre Solutions for Your Clients

As a managed service provider, your clients rely on you to keep their IT infrastructure running. That means the data centre partner you choose matters.

Asanti’s pure colocation model is designed to work alongside your managed services offering, not compete with it. We provide the physical infrastructure — secure, reliable space, power, cooling, and connectivity across 6 UK data centres. You retain full ownership of the managed services layer and your client relationships.

Our flexible commercial model, including Pay As You Go power contracts, makes it easier to manage margins and deliver competitive quotes to your clients in a market where UK power costs are among the highest globally.

The benefits of Asanti colocation for MSP's

Asanti offers pure colocation only. We provide the space, power, cooling, connectivity and physical security. You own the managed services relationship with your clients. There is no overlap or conflict between what we do and what you offer.

Our Pay As You Go power contracts allow you to offer your clients a more cost effective way to be billed for power, rather than committing to fixed costs. In a market where UK power is among the most expensive globally, this flexibility helps you maintain competitive pricing.

With data centres in Reading, Farnborough, Leeds, Manchester, Livingston and Hamilton, you can place client workloads in locations that match their geographic requirements — reducing latency, meeting data residency obligations, and supporting geo-redundant disaster recovery deployments.

All Asanti data centres are powered by 100% certified renewable energy. This supports your clients in meeting ESG targets and gives you a credible, evidence-based sustainability story when competing for contracts where green credentials matter.

From half-rack to multi-rack configurations, private cages and suites, our infrastructure scales to match your clients’ requirements. SmartHands support is included as standard, reducing the need for your engineers to travel for routine physical tasks.

Every Asanti data centre is backed by ISO 27001, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 certification. This gives you the compliance foundation needed to host client workloads in regulated sectors including finance, healthcare, legal, and public sector — without additional audit burden on your own team.

The shift away from pure public cloud is creating a growing opportunity for MSPs to expand their colocation offering. Organisations are increasingly looking for the cost predictability, control, and data sovereignty that colocated infrastructure provides — alongside the managed services layer that only an MSP can deliver.

  • 60% of the UK market use colocation alongside a managed service
  • 66% of UK organisations use colocation as part of a hybrid infrastructure
  • 92% would consider moving workloads from cloud to colocation if it offered better cost and control
