What CE Colo does

CE Colo Czech s.r.o. is a carrier-neutral data center services provider headquartered in Prague, Czech Republic, operating as a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG. The company was established in January 2011 when GTS Group acquired the Sitel Data Center (SDC), whose main building had been designed in 1999 and ceremonially opened in 2001. CE Colo targets enterprise businesses with mission-critical IT workloads and telecommunications operators/ISPs across Central Europe, offering tiered colocation (rack, cage, private room), 24/7 Remote Hands technical support, and CIOMIS (Colocation Internal Optical and Metallic Interconnection Service) cross-connect infrastructure.

The company's technical platform combines 2.6 MW of DC power, 3,400 sqm of customer space, 18.8 km of fiber, and 6.1 km of copper cabling at the legacy facility, with cold/hot aisle containment supporting rack densities up to 20 kW. CE Colo anchors the most important Central European peering points, hosting NIX.CZ, Peering.cz, and providing remote access to PLIX, BIX, RONIX, DECIX, and VIX through 80+ on-site carriers. A newly commissioned DC7 facility, certified to TIER 3 (ANSI/TIA-942) with 99.999% availability, adds 2,800 sqm of IT infrastructure on a 25,000 sqm site. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 27001:2022, TIER 3, and EKO Gold renewable energy certifications.

CE Colo monetizes capacity through recurring monthly subscription contracts for rack (42U-47U), cage, and private room deployments, supplemented by Remote Hands, CIOMIS interconnection, and ancillary rentals such as office, storage, parking, antenna roof space, and disaster recovery premises. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales executed by business consultants, supported by a DC Access Portal for existing customers and group-level cross-sell through Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile Czech Republic, and Slovak Telekom.
