Data Center Placement Advisory
Vendor-neutral colocation consulting to find the right data center partner for your business.
Find the Right Colocation Partner — Without Vendor Bias
Choosing a data center is one of the most critical infrastructure decisions your business will make. Power density, network connectivity, compliance requirements, and cost structures vary dramatically across providers.
DCIS provides vendor-neutral advisory services to help you evaluate options objectively. We don't take commissions from providers — our only goal is finding the best fit for your requirements.
Whether you're moving from on-prem to colo for the first time, expanding to new markets, or consolidating existing footprints, we guide you through selection, negotiation, and deployment.
What We Evaluate

Density requirements, redundancy levels (N+1, 2N), and PUE efficiency ratings.
Network & Connectivity
Carrier diversity, cloud on-ramps, and latency to your users and partners.
