Frequently asked questions

How much does a rack (colocation) cost in Calgary?

a full rack is priced on electrical power (kVA), IP transit and cross-connects. Compare the 14 data centers in Calgary to get a costed quote.

What is the difference between housing and colocation?

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.

Which data centers in Calgary are ISO 27001 certified?

3 of the 14 data centers listed in Calgary declare ISO 27001. Filter by certification (ISO 27001, HDS, PCI-DSS) in the comparator to keep only compliant sites.

What does a rack in Calgary really cost?

Beyond listed prices, here is the computed cost of a standard 5 kW rack in Calgary, from our open market model (published method, version 2026.07-v1):

ItemEstimate
5 kW rack, per month€928 – €1,326
Cost per kW per month€164 – €238
Over 3 years (36 months)€33,408 – €47,736

Amounts are in euros: the model is computed in EUR, including for markets outside the euro area. We do not show a CAD conversion until a dated, sourced rate backs it.

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.

What Calgary allows

Calgary has 14 data centers, operated by Equinix, eStruxture Data Centers Inc., Rogers Data Centres Inc., Cologix, Inc.. 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.

Connectivity from Calgary

31 networks are listed at the sites in Calgary according to public interconnection registries. That number drives your negotiating power: every carrier inside the building is one more quote, with no civil works. 3 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, Google, IBM Cloud, Microsoft Azure, OVHcloud, Apple, Meta, Netflix and 3 more: they are present at the exchange points where 4 of the 14 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.

Compliance and sovereignty

Declared certifications: ISO 22301, ISO 27001, ISO 50001, PCI DSS, SOC 2. A certification is verified site by site and carries an expiry date: ask for the certificate, not the logo. 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.

The electricity behind Calgary

A city has no electricity of its own: the sites in Calgary 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 52.8% of its electricity from hydro (2025). The detail: hydro 52.8%, natural gas 17.8%, nuclear 13.1%, wind 7.9%, coal 4.1%, bioenergy 1.6%. Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) account for 23.1% of it. A kilowatt-hour there weighs 191 g of CO2, i.e. 2.4 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 6.8 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.

What the ground has done under Calgary

No earthquake of magnitude 5 or above has been recorded within 200 km of Calgary since 1970, according to the US Geological Survey's global catalog. 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.

What Calgary does not allow

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 Calgary is 17 km away, in Rocky View. Short distances matter: they drive the cost of a link between two buildings, and whether a backup site is workable.
