FAQs
Can I scale my deployment over time?
Yes. nLighten’s modular and flexible colocation model makes it easy to start small and expand as your business grows. Our facilities are designed for seamless scalability — whether you need additional cabinets, increased power density, or new edge locations across our European footprint.
This approach allows customers, including fast-growing digital enterprises and AI-driven organizations, to evolve their infrastructure without disruption or costly migrations.
What cabinet sizes and densities do you support?
We offer standard 19″ cabinets, 600 mm wide, with depths up to 1200 mm. Our sites are engineered for high-density deployments — with raised floors supporting up to 15 kW per cabinet, and concrete floors supporting 20 kW or more (higher on request).
This flexibility ensures optimal performance for a range of workloads, from traditional enterprise systems to compute-intensive AI and edge applications.
Do I get visibility into power and environment metrics?
Yes. nLighten provides customers with clear insight into energy performance and environmental efficiency across our sites. We are committed to transparency in how our data centers operate and perform.
As part of this, we share our nLighten ICFEn (Integrated Carbon Free Energy) scores — a standardized measure of each data center accounting not only for electricity use but also for exported heat and grid stabilisation.
You can view the ICFEn scores for your specific country on our dedicated page.
How does nLighten support 24/7 operations?
Reliability and responsiveness are central to our operations. All nLighten data centers are built with resilient power and cooling systems, ensuring continuous uptime.
Our Network Operations Center (NOC) is staffed 24/7, supported by an always-available help line, so customers receive immediate assistance whenever needed — day or night, across all our edge locations.
