The San Jose Colocation Facility is located in the highly-connected building that was once the original MAE West facility. Located at 55 South Market Street in downtown San Jose, the facility has easy access from three major freeways (101, 680, and 880), and is just minutes away from the San Jose International Airport (SJC).

Colo Carts

Colo Carts

“Colo Carts” provide convenient access to a keyboard, mouse, and monitor anywhere in the facility. Some customers call them “Crash Carts” , when asking our staff to connect to a non-responsive server, as part of our free basic Remote Hands service. Customers also use the Colo Carts when installing and maintaining equipment.
NOC, staff

NOC, staff

Our Fremont colocation facilities and NOC are staffed 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year. We can dispatch staff from Fremont as needed, to address any issues.
Remote Hands Service

Remote Hands Service

Hurricane Electric provides free basic “Remote Hands” service, so customers aren't charged for asking our staff to check a server's status, attach a monitor and keyboard, restart a server, or perform other routine tasks. Our trained technical staff can help you identify, diagnose, and resolve issues. For more complex issues, we offer professional services under contract.
