Server colocation in Vienna (server housing) means installing your own servers in a rack or cabinet (42U) inside a secure data center: redundant power, cooling, 24/7 security and multi-carrier connectivity. DataColoc lists 30 data centers offering colocation in Vienna, including Digital Realty, NTT DATA's Global Data Centers division, University of Vienna, KAPPER NETWORK-COMMUNICATIONS GmbH.
a full rack is priced on electrical power (kVA), IP transit and cross-connects. Compare the 30 data centers in Vienna to get a costed quote.
None: “housing” and “colocation” mean the same thing — hosting your own servers in a third-party data center, as opposed to renting a dedicated server or public cloud.
Filter by certification (ISO 27001, HDS, PCI-DSS) in the comparator to keep only compliant sites.
Learn the basics: colocation, 42U rack, cross-connect, IP transit, Tier III/IV.
Costed answers: how much does a rack cost?, cross-connect pricing, colocation or cloud? — and the colocation price barometer.
Beyond listed prices, here is the computed cost of a standard 5 kW rack in Vienna, from our open market model (published method, version 2026.07-v1):
| Item | Estimate |
|---|---|
| 5 kW rack, per month | €958 – €1,086 |
| Cost per kW per month | €171 – €194 |
| Over 3 years (36 months) | €34,488 – €39,096 |
What this covers: local industrial energy tariff, site efficiency (PUE), retail colocation margin and local market tightness. What it does not: IP transit, cross-connects, setup fees and PDUs — priced site by site in the comparator.
An estimate, not an offer. It is a model, with an open method and a version — not a contractual rate. A quote prices your actual configuration. Think the model is wrong? The method is published: tell us where.

Declared design level: Tier III. That level describes the building's redundancy, not a contractual availability commitment: only the contract carries one. Available formats range from 1 baie to 1 baie: you can start small here, without renting a whole rack.
192 networks are listed at the sites in Vienna according to public interconnection registries. That number drives your negotiating power: every carrier inside the building is one more quote, with no civil works. 12 Internet exchange points are reachable from these sites, which cuts latency to the large content networks and the cost of transit. The large networks reachable directly from these sites, without buying transit, are Amazon Web Services, DigitalOcean, Google, Hetzner, IBM Cloud, Microsoft Azure, OVHcloud, Apple and 5 more: they are present at the exchange points where 3 of the 30 sites in the city are points of presence. Reaching your cloud over an exchange point rather than the public Internet changes latency, and above all the price of data egress.
Note: part of the operation falls under a US-jurisdiction company, hence under the CLOUD Act. Hosting in Europe is not enough to escape it: what counts is the provider's nationality, not the building's address.
A city has no electricity of its own: the sites in Vienna are connected to the national grid, itself interconnected with its neighbours. What is measured, and what decides, is therefore the country's generation mix. That grid draws 51.8% of its electricity from hydro (2025). The detail: hydro 51.8%, solar 14.1%, natural gas 11.9%, wind 11.3%, bioenergy 6.4%, oil (fuel oil, diesel) 4.5%. Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) account for 16.4% of it. A kilowatt-hour there weighs 117 g of CO2, i.e. 3.9 times less than the world average (458 g), 2025 figure. Concretely: a 3 kVA rack, in a site with a PUE of 1.5, draws 35,478 kWh a year and therefore emits 4.2 tonnes of CO2 a year here. The same rack, same hardware, same PUE, would emit 16 tonnes on a world-average grid. The building has nothing to do with it: the country does.

Since 1970, 4 earthquakes of magnitude 5 or above have been recorded within 100 km of Vienna, and 5 within 200 km. The strongest: magnitude 5.3 in 2000, 23 km away. This record covers 56 years, which is short on a seismic timescale: no recorded earthquake does not mean no hazard. It does not replace the statutory zoning, which alone binds construction.

No rate is published by the operators in this city: pricing is on request, and we do not estimate it on their behalf.
The nearest site outside Vienna is 11 km away, in Voesendorf. Short distances matter: they drive the cost of a link between two buildings, and whether a backup site is workable.
