## Start with the space you need.

Space, power, cooling and connectivity need to work together. An early outline is enough to begin the conversation.

### Cabinets or a private cage

Space for your equipment within a shared data-centre facility.

-   Cabinet dimensions and the number of positions.
-   Power allocation and the required cooling approach.
-   Network connections and on-site access.

### Dedicated data-centre space

A suite or hall for a larger or more specific deployment.

-   Initial capacity and room for expansion.
-   Availability dates and fit-out responsibilities.
-   Security, access and operational requirements.

### Additional capacity or a move

A search shaped around your existing deployment and future plans.

-   Location and connectivity constraints.
-   Migration timing and any phased move-in.
-   Existing commitments and the proposed commercial terms.

## Tell us the essentials.

## Common questions.

### Do I need a complete technical brief?

No. Start with the location, type of space and target date. Include capacity and technical requirements where known; your team can provide the detailed brief as the search develops.

### What does Rivermark handle?

Our role is to find suitable options and make introductions. We gather provider information and coordinate the initial conversations. The work, approach and fees are agreed with you first.

### Who confirms technical suitability?

Your technical team and the prospective operator confirm power, cooling, connectivity, resilience and security requirements. Appointed advisers review the agreement. Rivermark does not provide engineering design, certification or technical due diligence.

### Is capacity or pricing guaranteed?

The operator must confirm availability, deployment dates and commercial terms for your specific requirement. We identify what has been supplied and what still needs confirming.
