Netrality —
Carrier-Neutral Colocation & Interconnection

A carrier-neutral data center is a colocation facility that does not favor any single network carrier — meaning customers can connect to any carrier, cloud provider, or internet exchange inside the facility. This is the opposite of a carrier-owned facility, where the hosting provider also controls the network and may restrict or bundle connectivity. Netrality's carrier-neutral facilities allow enterprises to bring their preferred carriers, connect directly to cloud on-ramps, and negotiate connectivity independently — giving organizations full control over their network architecture without vendor lock-in.

Retail colocation at Netrality is sold per-rack or per-cabinet — ideal for enterprises and mid-market organizations that need flexible, scalable space with shared raised floor infrastructure, 24/7 remote hands, and redundant power and cooling. Wholesale colocation provides large dedicated suites or caged environments for organizations with significant power and space requirements — typically data center operators, hyperscalers, or large enterprises deploying hundreds of kilowatts of IT load. Wholesale agreements typically provide greater power density, dedicated infrastructure, and custom SLA terms compared to retail.

Netrality facilities serve as cloud on-ramp locations — meaning enterprises can access AWS Direct Connect, Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute, and Google Cloud Dedicated Interconnect directly from within the data center without routing traffic over the public internet. This reduces latency, improves reliability, and provides consistent performance for cloud workloads. Netrality's carrier-neutral model means customers can choose from multiple cloud connectivity providers and negotiate the best combination of speed, redundancy, and cost for their architecture.

Netrality provides cross-connects — physical or virtual fiber connections between tenants and carriers within the same data center — enabling low-latency, high-bandwidth private connectivity without traversing the public internet. Customers can connect to hundreds of carriers, internet service providers, cloud on-ramps, and content networks via cross-connects. This is particularly valuable for network-intensive organizations, media companies, financial services firms, and enterprises that require private peering with multiple carriers as part of a diverse, resilient connectivity strategy.

Netrality operates carrier-neutral data center facilities across key US markets — including Philadelphia, Houston, and other strategic metro locations. Netrality's facilities are positioned at network convergence points — locations where multiple carriers already have dense fiber presence — which is what enables the carrier-neutral interconnection model.
