CoreSite BO1, Somerville
We are a tenant in this building, not a visitor to it. Our own hardware is here, so our technicians already hold access and already know the procedures at the door. Nobody is working out where your cage is for the first time.
What we do in this building
Axcelx colocation, dedicated servers, virtual servers and dedicated internet access all run out of this facility. If your equipment is here and you would rather not manage it at all, our managed service covers the same floor.
You have to authorize us first
Add our technicians to your authorization list with CoreSite. Once per customer, not per building, and only you can do it. Worth setting up while nothing is broken.

Why us and not the facility
One call, one technician, one rate.
Raise it with us directly and it does not join a queue behind every other tenant in the building, to be picked up by whoever is on shift and has never seen your cabinet before.
Our own cabinets are in this building, so we are a tenant here rather than a visitor. Same engineers each visit, and nobody learning your cabinet from scratch. The phone gets answered by someone who can help rather than someone who opens a ticket about it.
Authorization takes a few minutes and it lasts. Get it done while nothing is broken and we are a phone call away from then on.

Straight answers
Questions about Somerville.
Do I need a colocation contract with Axcelx to book this?
No. Remote hands at CoreSite is available whether or not you buy anything else from us. Plenty of our remote hands customers have their cabinets with another provider entirely.
How is the work billed?
Billed hourly. The same applies at every facility we cover, this one included.
How does emergency work get handled?
You call or email and we dispatch a technician. There is no triage queue and no ticket tier to climb. Our access arrangements at this building are already in place, so nothing has to be set up first, and we will tell you honestly when someone can be at your cabinet rather than quote a time we do not control.
How much notice do you need for planned work?
Pre-planned hourly work needs 72 hours notice, which lets us schedule the right technician and stage any parts before your window opens.
What do I have to set up before you can come on site?
Add our technicians to your authorization list with the operator. Once per customer, not per building, and only you can do it. Best done before you need us.
What do you need from me to open a ticket here?
The building and floor, your cabinet or cage number, what you want done, and who at the operator has authorized our access. For CoreSite, the address is 70 Innerbelt Road, Somerville, MA.
Do you work at other datacenters nearby?
Yes. We dispatch to any facility in Massachusetts or New Hampshire. This page covers Somerville specifically because it is one we attend regularly.
Need someone at 70 Innerbelt Road, Somerville, MA?
