Peering and network architecture

The networking value of Adminor colocation lies in direct peering relationships at Stockholm's most important internet exchange points. Compared to providers running only transit, this gives:

  • Lower latency to Swedish and Nordic users. Traffic to Bahnhof, Telenor, Tele2, Bredbandsbolaget and government networks routes directly without unnecessary hops.
  • More predictable performance during traffic spikes. Peering provides independent capacity compared to a single transit provider.
  • Ability to establish your own BGP sessions for customers who need to announce their own prefixes. We act as Sponsoring LIR for ASN and PI prefix assignments.
  • Looking-glass visibility — operational transparency. Other network operators can verify our BGP policy independently.

Peering exchanges Adminor is active at: STHIX (Stockholm Internet Exchange), SONIX (Stockholm Open Network Infrastructure eXchange), KN7/Stokab (Stockholm city network). Transit providers: Telia (AS3301), GTT (AS3257) and Hurricane Electric (AS6939).

Solna or Västberga — which fits you?

Both facilities are technically equivalent with the same per-U price and the same AS51701 backbone. The difference is geographic:

Solna — Barks väg 15

Northern Stockholm IT hub near Arenastaden, Sundbyberg, Kista, Täby, Sollentuna. Close to E4 motorway and metro.

Västberga — Västberga Allé 60

Southern Stockholm facility in the Hägersten/Liljeholmen area. Close to Södermalm, Globen, Årsta, Kungens Kurva, Huddinge.

Many customers with higher redundancy requirements run both facilities as active-active or active-passive — data replication across Adminor's internal 100 Gbps network, automatic failover via BGP. Cross-DC traffic between Solna and Västberga is free within the same customer.

Remote hands

For customers who don't want to travel to the facility for routine tasks, basic Remote Hands is included from 2U upward, pre-booked during business hours:

  • Server reboots (soft or hard via PDU control)
  • Cable swaps and physical connection of new servers within established space
  • Visual inspection (status LEDs, fans, indicators)
  • First-line troubleshooting on obvious hardware issues

Pre-booking principle: routine tasks are scheduled for the next available slot (typically within 1-2 business days). This lets us batch technician work efficiently and keeps the cost at the included level.

Urgent actions — where you need us to drop everything and remediate immediately (e.g. production down, critical hardware out of service) — are billed per SLA 2026: 1,100 SEK/h during business hours, 1,850 SEK/h outside business hours within the agreed service window and 3,200 SEK/h outside it, with a one-hour minimum outside business hours. Round-the-clock on-call requires the Silver or Gold SLA.

More extensive work — firmware updates, hardware swaps, RMA handling, full installation of new servers — is billed at hourly rates or included in a Managed Hosting agreement.

Colocation Sweden — why host here instead of abroad?

Many European companies initially moved infrastructure to Germany (Frankfurt), the Netherlands (Amsterdam) or Ireland (Dublin) for lower prices. Recently a counter-movement has emerged: companies moving infrastructure back to Sweden. The reasons are typically practical and regulatory:

  • Swedish jurisdiction and GDPR. Data in Sweden is handled under Swedish law and EU GDPR. US parent-company providers (AWS, Azure, Google) remain exposed to the US CLOUD Act even when hardware sits in Frankfurt or Stockholm. A wholly-owned Swedish operator like Adminor — with no foreign group — eliminates that exposure.
  • Latency to Nordic users. Stockholm-based colocation gives under 5 ms to Swedish consumers and about 10–15 ms to Helsinki, Copenhagen, Oslo. Frankfurt is 20–35 ms from Stockholm — noticeable in e-commerce, gaming and real-time applications.
  • EU AI Act and data localisation. The new European AI Regulation (2024/1689) imposes specific data handling requirements on AI systems. Hosting within the EU and demonstrably within Sweden simplifies compliance reporting.
  • Swedish support during business hours. Phone support in Swedish might sound trivial but matters during acute incidents. Escalating technical details in your native language to someone who actually knows Swedish IT culture saves time.
  • Energy economics. Swedish electricity is 96 % fossil-free (hydro, nuclear, wind) and data centre power costs are competitive with Germany post-2024 energy crisis. Stockholm's climate enables natural free cooling much of the year.
  • No unexpected exit costs. Swedish colocation is invoiced monthly in SEK. No currency surprises, no opaque hosting-fee structures that US cloud providers tend to apply retroactively.

For Swedish B2B companies with Swedish customers, colocation Sweden is now both economically and regulatorily the simplest choice — not the expensive premium position it was 5–10 years ago.

Common colocation use cases

  • Hybrid cloud strategy — core systems on owned hardware with us, burst capacity in public cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP). We connect via dedicated fibre or IPsec.
  • License-bound software — Oracle, SAP, certain ERP systems where hardware-bound licensing makes cloud impractical.
  • High-performance databases — where every 0.1 ms counts and dedicated NVMe on owned hardware beats virtualisation.
  • Compliance-driven hosting — financial services, health data, government contracts requiring physical separation and Swedish data residency.
  • Smaller ISPs or network operators — colocation plus BGP peering for establishing your own AS and routing policy.
  • Refurbished enterprise hardware fleets — companies running purchased used enterprise servers (Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant) who need reliable hosting for them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Colocation (co-location) means you own the hardware and rent rack space, power, cooling and network connectivity in a data centre. With VPS or dedicated server you rent the hardware from us instead. Colocation suits situations where you already own server hardware, want full control over a specific configuration, or have software licensing tied to specific hardware. Many customers combine — colocation for core systems plus VPS for development environments.

Both. We operate two separate data centres in Stockholm: Solna (Barks väg 15, northern Stockholm) and Västberga (Västberga Allé 60, southern Stockholm). Both have the same technical standard, the same per-U price and the same AS51701 backbone. The difference is geographic accessibility — choose the facility closest to your offices, or run both for geo-redundancy.

Yes. With advance notice (3 business days is standard) you can visit the facility during business hours (08:00–17:00 weekdays). Emergency access outside business hours is possible against an additional fee. Remote hands for routine actions (reboots, cable swaps, visual inspection) is included for rack tiers from 2U upward — pre-booked during business hours at the next available slot. Urgent actions where you need immediate response are billed separately (see Remote Hands section below).

All spaces have N+1 redundant UPS protection that compensates for short power glitches without interruption. For longer outages, diesel generators start automatically within seconds. The generators have fuel for at least 48 hours of operation and we have framework agreements for fuel delivery within 12 hours. Adminor's data centres have no history of power outages affecting customer operations.

Yes. Adminor is a RIPE LIR with our own autonomous system (AS51701) and direct BGP sessions at STHIX, SONIX and KN7/Stokab in Stockholm. BGP sessions are included from Quarter Rack and above. For customers who want to announce their own prefixes we can act as Sponsoring LIR for ASN and PI prefixes, and issue LOA, ROA in RPKI and route objects in the RIPE database. More about IP registry services.

1U includes 150 W and 2U includes 300 W. If you need more on 1U/2U, extra power costs 99 SEK per 50 W. For Quarter Rack and above you book reserved power from 1,495 SEK/kW/mo. During high spot prices a variable power surcharge applies per Adminor's electricity price policy. Adminor has pre-contracted power capacity in both the Solna and Västberga facilities, ensuring operational stability and redundancy.

Your iLO/iDRAC (or equivalent BMC) is placed on a separate management VLAN with no public exposure. Access is via a WireGuard VPN — no part of the management network is open to the internet. This is included in all colocation packages.

In a shared cabinet (1U, 2U and Quarter Rack) physical access is pre-announced and escorted. With your own cabinet (Half Rack and full rack) you get your own key tag for around-the-clock access. Simple actions during business hours are included up to 1 h/mo; beyond that they are billed per SLA 2026 (1,100 SEK/h during business hours).

Provisioning normally takes 1–3 business days after we receive your hardware.

An IPv4 /29 is included with 1U and 2U. With two packages a /28 is included. Upgrading to a /27 costs 349 SEK/mo, and /24 is handled via our IP registry. IPv6 is included.

Base is included (99.90 %, remediation window weekdays 08–17). Silver costs 1,100 SEK/mo (08–20 every day, on-call). Gold costs 2,400 SEK/mo (around the clock). See our SLA tiers.

Yes. The facilities are ISO 27001-certified. Certificates and security documentation for vendor assessment are shared under NDA. General terms and the data processing agreement (DPA) are public on our terms page.

Invoice (30 days net) is standard for Swedish and EU companies. For smaller customers or shorter contracts we also accept cards (Visa/Mastercard) via Stripe. Longer contracts (24+ months) are invoiced quarterly or annually in advance against discount. We do not accept cryptocurrencies.

Standard is a 12-month contract with 1 month notice period. Longer contracts (24 or 36 months) give 5–10 % discount on list price. Short contracts (3-6 months) are possible against a surcharge if you have specific reasons such as project needs or an evaluation phase.

Yes. All hardware sits physically in Sweden, within the EU. Adminor is a wholly-owned Swedish private company without foreign parent-company jurisdiction — no exposure to the US CLOUD Act or FISA 702. A data processing agreement (DPA) is delivered automatically at contract start. This differs from US providers' EU data centres (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) which legally sit under US government access even when hardware is in Sweden or Germany.
