Build for what comes next
Built for compute. Ready for AI.
From business-critical workloads to high-density AI, Qu delivers secure, resilient colocation across Canada, with capacity available today.
Colocation options
Built around your infrastructure, not ours.
From a single cabinet to a private data hall, Qu scales with your deployment, not the other way around. Every option includes the same certified infrastructure, Canadian jurisdiction, and 24/7 support.
Best for 1-20 cabinets
Cabinet & Shared Space
Your own cabinet or rack space in a shared environment, with the power, cooling, carrier-neutral connectivity, physical security, and 24/7 remote hands enterprises need.
Best for regulated enterprise
Dedicated Cage
A physically isolated space for your equipment with no shared access, offering physical separation without the cost of a full private suite. Perfect for financial services and healthcare compliance frameworks.
Best for large enterprise
Private Suite & Data Hall

High-density colocation
Built for GPU clusters, AI, and HPC workloads
Standard rack densities were designed for traditional enterprise compute. GPU clusters, AI training, and high-performance computing demand more power per rack than most facilities can deliver. Qu's high-density environments are engineered specifically for these workloads.
- Racks engineered for elevated power draw - up to 140 kW per rack at TOR3
- Advanced cooling designed for GPU cluster thermal output
- Available at CGY3 Airdrie, TOR3 Markham, EDM2, and OTT3 Kanata
- Carrier-neutral connectivity for low-latency data pipeline access
- Custom power configurations available on request
- Same Canadian sovereignty and certification posture as standard colocation
- GPU clusters for AI training and inference
- High-performance computing and scientific workloads
- Large-scale data processing and analytics pipelines
- Rendering and media processing
- Compute-intensive enterprise applications exceeding standard rack density
Canadian-sovereign AI infrastructure.
High-density compute at Qu runs under Canadian ownership and Canadian law. Your AI workloads and training data are not subject to the US CLOUD Act or any foreign legal authority, by structural fact, not contractual promise.
Remote hands
On-site support without the travel
Our technicians are on-site 24/7 at every facility. When something needs physical attention - a reboot, a cable swap, a visual check, a media hand-off - you contact us and we handle it. You do not need to travel to the data centre.
What remote hands covers:
- Server and device reboots
- Cable swaps and physical patching
- Media handling and USB/drive insertion
- Visual inspection and status checks
- Escort and coordination for third-party vendor access
On-site amenities
Everything your team needs on-site.
Installs, maintenance windows, and equipment staging are easier when the facility is built for them. Qu facilities include the physical amenities that make customer visits productive.
Loading docks
Equipment delivery and large hardware staging.
On-site office and workspace
Space for customer teams during facility visits.
Secure visitor access
2FA entry with escort procedures throughout.

Colocation is where it starts.
Colocation is the physical foundation. What you build on top of it determines how far it takes you. Every Qu service is designed to layer onto your colocated infrastructure without changing your commercial relationship.
Backup and Disaster Recovery
Multi-facility DR and backup across Qu’s nine Canadian locations. Veeam Cloud Connect and Zerto DRaaS with seconds RPO and minutes RTO. Canadian data never crosses national borders.
Virtual and Private Cloud
Single-tenant Private Cloud IaaS and multi-tenant VPC, both fully managed by Qu system administrators and hosted within Qu’s own Tier III facilities. Sovereign cloud without the hyperscaler lock-in.
Managed Services
Your colocated infrastructure, Qu’s expertise. 24/7 Remote Hands, Managed Server (Windows and RHEL), and Managed Firewall (Fortigate). Tiered packages available, monitoring only through fully managed.
Colocation questions, answered.
Answers to the questions buyers, compliance teams, and government procurement officers ask before signing a colocation contract.
Our solutions architects move from initial conversation to a signed proposal within a week. Live deployment timelines depend on your cabinet count and power requirements, but we have infrastructure ready today, not in 18 months.
We support deployments from a single cabinet through to multi-megawatt private data halls. No minimum that excludes mid-market enterprise, no maximum that limits large regulated deployments.
Yes, and most customers do. Managed services, cloud connectivity, Veeam Cloud Connect, DRaaS, and object storage layer on as your requirements evolve. You are not locked into a single service tier at deployment.
No. Qu’s facilities are carrier-neutral and Megaport-connected. Your hardware remains yours and your network provider relationships remain yours. Managed services and cloud connectivity are additive layers you choose when and whether to add.
A data centre physically in Canada but incorporated in the US remains subject to US law, including the CLOUD Act. The CLOUD Act allows US authorities to compel any US-incorporated company to produce data stored anywhere in the world. Canadian ownership is what determines which legal system governs your data.
PIPEDA, Ontario PHIPA, OSFI guidelines, the Government of Canada Privacy Act, Alberta PIPA, and HIPAA. Our SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, CSAE/ISAE, and Uptime Institute Tier III certifications provide the independent verification compliance teams require.
Yes. Our Canadian ownership, Tier III certifications, and CSAE/ISAE and SOC 1/2 audits satisfy Shared Services Canada requirements. We operate two facilities in Ottawa and can provide spec sheets, security posture summaries, and certification matrices for RFP responses.
Yes. With 9 facilities across 5 Canadian markets, Qu supports active-active and active-passive DR entirely within Canada. Pair Toronto with London ON, Ottawa within the National Capital Region, or Calgary with Edmonton for geodiverse Alberta DR, all under a single commercial agreement.
