Estates
One conversation, a whole estate.
Bring a building portfolio into one conversation. We assess the rooms and available capacity, establish the site requirements, and discuss the suitable rooms with you.
The offer
Start with existing capacity. Establish what each site needs.
An estate can begin with rooms and electrical capacity that already exist. We can discuss the portfolio together, while each room is assessed for the power, cooling, access and operating conditions needed to support a rack.
An existing connection is the starting point for review, not a blanket exemption. The assessment establishes whether electrical or cooling work is needed and which approvals, inspections and filings apply. Installation follows the agreed design and the required site approvals.

- Discussed togetherThe portfolio is discussed as a whole, and each room is assessed on its own.
Why estates
Estates already hold the rooms. Converting them is the hard part.
The missing input is rarely the building or the power. It is the work that turns a room into a running rack.
The hard part is designing an installation for a room nobody designed for racks, doing it again in the next room, and then operating and metering what runs there. None of that is adjacent to owning property.
That is why an estate owner and Azita can work together: you bring the portfolio, and Azita designs, installs, commissions, operates and meters. Everything else is confirmed in your agreement.
Who it is for
Four shapes of owner. One conversation.
These are shapes, not a customer list. Azita names no customer and shows no logo anywhere on this site, and it will not start on this page.
- Telecoms
Exchanges, and what happens after copper.
A national operator holds many exchange buildings, each with a connection sized for equipment that has been shrinking for years, fibre already terminated, and a security regime already in place. Copper retirement empties the floor and leaves the power behind.
- REITs and landlords
The floors between the tenants.
A portfolio landlord already meters and maintains every building. The riser rooms, the old server rooms and the plant floors carry sanctioned load that no tenant is drawing, and it is paid for whether or not it moves.
- Campus and industrial parks
One connection, many buildings, one owner.
A campus or an industrial park owns its own distribution and its own perimeter. The headroom can be real, the fibre is often in the ground, and there is one counterparty to talk to rather than many.
- Retail and branch networks
The same back room, in many locations.
A chain runs the same back room in the same layout in many locations. A design worked out once can be assessed again room by room, which is the argument for discussing an estate rather than a single site.
What we discuss
What an estate discussion covers.
- The estate, not only the site
- We can discuss the portfolio together, and each room is assessed on its own. How assessed rooms come under an agreement, and what it covers, is agreed with you rather than set in advance.
- Who does what
- Azita designs, installs, commissions, operates and meters each installation. Funding, equipment ownership, room preparation, power, cooling, connectivity, access, maintenance and removal are confirmed in your agreement.
- Payments and electricity
- What each room receives, and how electricity is metered and settled, are set out in your agreement. The hosting model example on the owners page illustrates one structure with its assumptions.
- Load and site requirements
- The assessment confirms the supply, tie-in, cooling and site work each room needs, and which approvals apply.
- Exit
- Notice, removal and how each room is returned are confirmed in your agreement.
The general shape of the hosting terms is on the hosting terms page, and the responsibilities for a single property are on the owners page. The compliance position is on the trust page.
What happens next
An assessment. A discussion. A first group of rooms.
An assessment of the portfolio
We take your building list and review it: connection, spare sanctioned load, fibre, risers, airflow and security. Desk review first, then visits to the rooms that look suitable.
A discussion of the estate
We go through the assessed rooms with you. Responsibilities, payments, electricity and exit are confirmed in your agreement.
A first group of rooms
Suitable rooms can be taken forward together, with the installation sequence and commissioning agreed. The site review determines the delivery plan for the actual estate.
Required site works, approvals and inspections affect the overall schedule, which is established for the actual estate.
Estate discussion
Start with the building list.
How many properties there are and where they are is enough to start. We review the portfolio and come back with the rooms worth visiting, and discuss how the estate could be taken forward.
Asking about one building? The owners page has the single-property enquiry. If it is easier, write to hello@azitalabs.com.
Discuss the estate.
Tell us about the portfolio. We’ll discuss how an assessment across several properties could work.
