nLighten Productises Colocation: Customers Onboarded in Three Days, Not Three Months

A pre-built, fixed-price cabinet that removes friction from edge deployment and enables customers to scale across Europe

London, 03 June 2026 – nLighten today launched ReadyCabinet, a pre-built, pre-approved, fixed-price colocation product that gets customers operational in under three working days. ReadyCabinet is the new default entry point to nLighten’s pan-European edge platform.

The product is built around a simple idea: turning colocation from a bespoke engineering project into a scalable, off-the-shelf product. As enterprises, scale-ups, and channel partners race to deploy edge capacity traditional colocation lead times of three to six months have become a competitive bottleneck. With ReadyCabinet, customers get a full or partial cabinet, up to 5kW power, and pre-wired nConnect connectivity; the interconnectivity platform of nLighten.

Productising Colocation

“We are moving colocation away from bespoke engineering and turning it into a scalable product,” said Joachim van Collenburg, VP Enabling Services at nLighten. “ReadyCabinet reflects that reality. It’s a deliberately simple product, built to be the entry point to a much longer journey with our customers.”

The deployment process is built around three steps: a quote with real-time availability and a five-day cabinet reservation; a signed service order form with no design review required; and cabinet hand-over within three working days of order. Customers can roll equipment in and go.

The Entry Point to a Scalable Platform

ReadyCabinet is the first step in nLighten’s Colocation Continuum, a tiered platform that allows customers to scale seamlessly from a single cabinet to High Density   and liquid-cooled environments, across  the same European platform, managed by the same team.

The product provides customers with a low-risk entry point today, with a clear growth path for tomorrow’s AI and high-performance computing workloads.

Built for Europe’s Edge Demand

ReadyCabinet responds to three structural shifts reshaping how digital infrastructure is consumed in Europe:

  • Rapid Multi-site deployment requirements: AI inference, low-latency applications, and edge use cases demand presence in multiple markets, fast.
  • Demand for repeatable infrastructure models; Customers can no longer afford bespoke design cycles for every site; they need a consistent, standardised building block.
  • Faster Partner led provisioning; MSPs and channel partners require standardized  catalogued product that can quoted and deployed without specialist escalation.

All ReadyCabinet deployments operate on nLighten’s pan-European edge network, powered by 100% renewable energy, with transparent metered power billing and no hidden fees.

ReadyCabinet is available now across selected nLighten sites, with availability expanding throughout 2026. For current availability, visit nlighten.eu/readycabinet
