Managed colocation in Amsterdam
Managed colocation is colocation where the provider also does the physical work: buying or receiving the hardware, storing spares, racking, cabling, connecting, replacing parts and documenting every change, so the customer runs the equipment remotely and never has to travel. super.am does that work in carrier-neutral datacenters in the Amsterdam area, from a quarter rack to a full 46U rack and a data room of your own.
Colocation you never have to visit.

Who does each job
The difference is not the rack. It is the list of jobs that lands on your team the day after the rack is signed for. Here is the same list, twice.
You run it. We hold the screwdriver.
Nothing here is optional extra. These are the controls you keep, so that the distance between you and the rack changes nothing about how you operate the machine.
- 01IP-KVM
from a shared pool.
- 02Your addresses
your prefixes under your ASN, or allocations from us.
- 03Your routing
a BGP session with the full table.
- 04DDoS filtering
blackhole included, scrubbing as an option.

From a quarter rack to your own room Show the tableHide the table
Four formats, one building.
| Format | What it is |
|---|---|
| Quarter rack | about 10U, at €465 per committed kW, from 1 kW: €465 a month. |
| Half rack | about 21U, at €465 per committed kW, from 2 kW: €930 a month. |
| Full rack | 46U in your own locked cabinet, at €465 per committed kW, from 4 kW: €1,860 a month. |
| Private data room | from 10 racks, in a room of your own in the same building. |
Committed power goes up in steps of 1 kW, with 7 kW per rack as standard; denser racks on request.
Prices are indexed to the Dutch consumer price index (CBS) on 1 January; the energy part changes only when the datacenter's tariff does, on 60 days' notice.
Everything the price covers Show the tableHide the table
Every position here is work somebody has to do; the question a price list answers is only who.
Four axes, one line on the invoice
No hidden coordination cost, because the coordination is the product. The invoice has four axes, and nothing on it moves month to month except the meters and the hands you order.
| Space | per rack: a quarter rack from 1 kW, a half rack from 2 kW and a full rack from 4 kW, each priced by its committed power. |
|---|---|
| Power | per committed kW on a rack: €465 a month per kW, in steps of 1 kW. Each started kW above the commitment costs €510 that month. |
| Port | two choices: the speed of the port and the commitment on it, measured at the 95th percentile. One 1 Gbps port per rack is included with IP transit; the rest is in the table below. |
| Hands | per hour, in increments: planned work, booked at least one working day ahead and done Monday to Friday 09:00–18:00 Amsterdam time: €130 an hour, 30 minutes minimum, billed in 15-minute increments. Any other work, whether the same day, urgent, at night or at the weekend: €260 an hour, 1 hour minimum; we tell you the expected start before you agree. Prepaid hours come in packs of 10, 25 and 50. |
| One-off | a cross-connect, installation outside the included scope, de-installation: setup of a full rack is €1,650 on a 12-month term, €825 on 24 months and €0 on 36, and of a half rack €825, €412.50 and €0; month to month, €2,750 and €1,375. A cross-connect between your racks in one datacenter is included; one to our network from another company in the building is €390 one-off and €69 a month; between datacenters, on request. |

How metering works Show the notesHide the notes
Each started kW above the commitment costs €510 that month.
Above 7 kW per rack — on request.
Prices are set in EUR excluding VAT, canonical on the English pages, and invoiced by the Armenian entity in AMD, USD or EUR at the Central Bank of Armenia rate on the invoice date. Month to month, a kW is €580 instead of €465. Only power and traffic above a port commitment are metered on a colocation invoice.

Eight steps, one by one
What we do at each one.
- 01Consult
we scope the configuration and send a written bill of materials.
- 02Buy
we source hardware in the EU on your behalf.
- 03Test
burn-in, serial numbers photographed, asset passport opened.
- 04Ship
insured transport to the datacenter, or receiving at our warehouse in the Netherlands.
- 05Rack
rails, mounting, labels, power on the A feed and the B feed.
- 06Cable
copper and optics from stock, cable management, port map recorded.
- 07Connect
port up, your IPs or your prefixes over BGP, cross-connect ordered.
- 08Run
you run it. We hold the screwdriver. From this point the machine is yours to operate.
Moving in from another datacenter
Equipment already installed somewhere else moves in as a project with a written plan: what travels, who packs it, what is insured, how long it is down, and how you check that everything arrived.
Another datacenter
Amsterdam area
| Step | What we do |
|---|---|
| Inventory | we build the asset passport from your current documentation before anything is unplugged. |
| Plan | machine by machine: what moves, what stays powered on, what order they go in. |
| Packing | our team packs and labels, in transport cases, insured from handover. |
| Transport | our own vehicles between the datacenters. |
| Racking and cabling | the same eight-step work as a new install, from step 5. |
| Acceptance | port up, photo report, passport updated. You check the list, not the rack. |
Uplinks, exchanges and your own routing
A carrier-neutral building means the routing decisions are yours: we can connect you to any provider present at Nikhef or Equinix AM5, on request, and your prefixes are announced under your own ASN.
- Dual fibre paths from the data rooms to Nikhef and Equinix AM5
- IP transit at 1 Gbps included, with 10, 40 and 100 Gbps ports available
- Your own IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes announced under your ASN, full BGP table; the BGP session is free
- IPv4 and IPv6 allocations from us if you do not have your own: €3.50 a month per IPv4 address, or a block at /29 €18, /28 €31, /27 €53, /26 €88, /25 €141, /24 €220; an IPv6 /48 free
- Private VLANs between your racks, included
- Layer 2 point-to-point circuits, on request
- A cross-connect between your racks in one datacenter, patched by us: included
- A cross-connect to our network from another company in the same building: €390 one-off and €69 a month
- A cross-connect between datacenters: on request
- Private and public peering, included
- DDoS blackhole included; scrubbing on request
Two ways out, and your routing on top
Two independent paths — two fibre paths leave the building.
Your addresses — your own IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes, or allocations from us if you have none.
Your ASN — your prefixes announced over a BGP session with the full table.
DDoS — blackhole included, scrubbing as an option.
| Port | 300 Mbps | 1 Gbps | 3 Gbps | 5 Gbps | Whole port |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Gbps | €99 | €165 | |||
| 10 Gbps | €275 | €495 | €715 | €1,100 | |
| 40 Gbps | €1,590 | ||||
| 100 Gbps | €3,250 |
Per month. Above a commitment, each Mbps costs €0.22 at the 95th percentile. A whole port has no meter: full speed, 1:1. The 1 Gbps row is an extra port; one comes with every rack.

Remote hands
Remote hands is physical work on your machine, done by an engineer who is already in the building. It is billed by time, it closes with a photograph, and it has a boundary: we touch the hardware, not your operating system.
Planned work, booked at least one working day ahead and done Monday to Friday 09:00–18:00 Amsterdam time: €130 an hour, 30 minutes minimum, billed in 15-minute increments. Any other work, whether the same day, urgent, at night or at the weekend: €260 an hour, 1 hour minimum; we tell you the expected start before you agree. Prepaid hours come in packs of 10, 25 and 50.
You will know your rack better than the one in your office
Every machine has a passport, and every job written into it.
| Photo report | What we do |
|---|---|
| Photographs | front and back, at intake and after every change. |
| Serial numbers | chassis, drives, PSUs, optics. |
| Rack position | room, rack, the exact U. |
| Port map | which port on which switch, and what is at the other end. |
| Power feed | which outlet on the A feed, which on the B feed. |
| Change history | who did what, when, with the photo report attached. |
