Power per rack
Above 20kW per rack, the facility needs matching power capacity and cold-aisle containment.
GPU Colocation
Move your GPUs into a high-density data center
Finding a facility that can support purchased high-density GPUs is a common barrier. Place the servers in a KONST data center to receive rack space, power, cooling, and networking without changing equipment ownership. KONST consolidates data center and telecommunications charges into one monthly bill.
PROBLEM｜ Customer challenges
High-density equipment needs a matching facility
Power per rack, inlet-air conditions, rack loading, and distribution type must each match the equipment specification. If any one does not, the entire rack row may need reconfiguration or the equipment may need another site. Configuration settings cannot solve a physical mismatch.
Cooling requirement
Inlet temperature and airflow must match the equipment. Liquid-cooled systems also need water piping and CDU space.
Rack requirements
Rack depth and load capacity must support the equipment.
Power configuration
Power phase and receptacle type must match the equipment.
FEATURE｜ Service details and specifications
Six colocation services under one contract
One contract covers racks, power, cooling, network, cross-connects, and MEP maintenance. KONST also consolidates data center and telecommunications charges, so the owner reviews one contract and one bill.
| Item | Scope |
|---|---|
| Rack space | Reserved contract capacity, including racks, cabling, and installation space |
| Power | Utility power, UPS backup, and generators, with the distribution path based on the redundancy tier |
| Cooling | Air or liquid cooling selected for power density per rack |
| Network | External bandwidth through a high-speed international telecommunications circuit |
| Cross-connects | Physical connections onsite to other tenants, carriers, or cloud services |
| MEP maintenance | Scheduled inspection of power and cooling equipment |
FEATURE｜ Service details and specifications
International connectivity, with capacity and power billed separately
External traffic uses a high-speed international telecommunications circuit, while onsite cross-connects can link directly to other tenants or cloud services. Billing has two parts: space is charged on reserved contract capacity, and electricity is passed through based on actual use.
Network and cross-connects
A high-speed international telecommunications circuit supports cross-border traffic. Onsite cross-connects link equipment directly to other tenants, carriers, or cloud access points without using the public internet.
Billing
Space is billed on reserved contract capacity regardless of actual electricity use. Electricity is passed through based on actual consumption.
FEATURE｜ Service details and specifications
Responsibilities across the facility, colocation, and operations providers
The data center operator is responsible for the site and MEP. KONST secures capacity, coordinates move-in, and settles charges. Equipment monitoring, troubleshooting, and vendor RMA coordination belong to compute operations. They are priced separately but can be handled by the same team.
Data center operator
Construction of the facility itself falls under the AI compute infrastructure service.
KONST
KONST secures capacity, coordinates move-in, tracks issues, and settles charges, so the owner does not have to manage schedules or billing.
Compute operations, priced separately
Colocation does not include equipment monitoring, troubleshooting, or vendor RMA coordination. The same team can provide them when required.
EVIDENCE｜ Results and data
KONST-operated facilities start at 20 kW per rack
The self-built Taichung data center has 24 racks in four rows at 20 kW each, using in-row cooling with a chilled-water system. Zhonghe adds 1.5 MW of utility capacity and can support new high-density systems.

PROCESS｜ Process
Four stages to move in
First, assess the site against the equipment list, rack count, and power needs. Next, sign a contract defining capacity, term, and pricing. Then install the equipment, power, and cabling. Finally, energize the systems and test connectivity before launch.
- 01
Site assessment
Check the equipment list against facility conditions, then estimate the supported rack count and available power.
- 02
Contract
Agree on capacity, term, and pricing, then sign the colocation contract.
- 03
Move-in and installation
Deliver and rack the equipment, then install power and network connections.
- 04
Power-on testing
Energize the equipment and test connectivity. Launch begins after verification.
Frequently asked questions
What is KONST's advantage in AIDC services?
One point of contact covers the full service chain. The same team handles site assessment, MEP upgrades, rack delivery, and 24/7 operations, so clients do not have to coordinate separate data center, systems, and operations providers.
How do colocation requirements differ for GPU racks and conventional server racks?
The difference is power and cooling. A GPU rack can draw several times the power of a conventional rack, requiring different distribution capacity, cold aisles, and cooling. Liquid-cooled systems also need water piping, CDU space, and leak detection, which most commercial data centers lack.
How is electricity billed for colocation?
Electricity is passed through based on actual use, calculated against the billable PUE cap with an added handling fee. The quotation is based on reserved rack capacity and agreed power conditions, which are fixed in the contract.
Can we reserve data center space before purchasing the equipment?
Yes. Facility planning can run alongside procurement. This avoids equipment arriving before the racks are ready, or rack billing starting while the equipment is still in transit.
What certifications and protections do KONST data centers have?
KONST-operated and managed data centers in Taiwan are certified to ISO 27001:2022 for information security. The facilities carry earthquake and fire insurance, provide 20kW high-density racks and round-the-clock support, and have an average PUE of 1.28.
Where does KONST operate?
In Taiwan, KONST operates and manages ISO 27001-certified data centers with low latency, local support, and flexible billing. The Fukushima site in Japan serves compute demand in Japan and nearby markets. Our Singapore office connects clients across Southeast Asia, while global partners support international colocation in other regions for flexible cross-border deployment and local support.
Purchased GPUs but no suitable facility?
Send us the equipment specifications. We will match them to site requirements and a move-in schedule.
