How a node goes live

Four steps from existing building to live colocation.

UrbanCore operates a powered shell model with scheduled remote hands. Every node lives inside a mechanical room that already has the service, the structure, and the cooling envelope to support sustained compute. We don't build buildings. We retrofit them.

STEP 01
Site qualification

Service amperage, voltage, structural capacity, and ConEd network position scored against our 2,169-property pipeline.

STEP 02
Mechanical fit-out

UPS, fire suppression, acoustic isolation, alley fluid cooler, and the full facility-side cooling loop.

STEP 03
Heat recovery tie-in

DLC heat recovery and an air-to-water heat source pump deliver compute waste heat into the building's domestic hot water system.

STEP 04
Tenant cutover

Tenant racks terminate at the CDU. Power, cooling, fire, fiber, and environmental SLAs are ours; servers, network, and IT-side ops are yours. Scheduled remote hands available; 24/7 facility response via Dual Fuel.

Where we stop

Powered shell. Facility-side, not IT-side.

The handoff is the CDU. Tenants ship pre-fab liquid-cooled racks that terminate at "connect to facility water here." That's exactly where a 15-year mechanical contractor takes over.

Scheduled and on-demand remote hands available for physical work inside the cage. Rate card on request.
