- Which colocation providers serve energy & oil/gas workloads?
- viabandwidth tracks 132 colocation operators tagged for energy & oil/gas workloads, sourced from operator websites and viabandwidth's own enrichment. The list below prioritises direct operators (verified own infrastructure) first.
- What should energy & oil/gas teams look for in a colocation provider?
- Energy and oil/gas operational technology (OT) workloads require physical hardening (ATEX compliance in hazardous areas), redundant connectivity to remote field sites, and operators experienced with SCADA and ICS network isolation requirements. Proximity to energy trading hubs (Houston, London, Amsterdam) is often a secondary requirement.
- What compliance requirements apply to energy & oil/gas colocation?
- NERC CIP applies to bulk electric system assets in North America. IEC 62443 provides the OT security framework for industrial control systems. TSA Pipeline Security guidelines apply to US pipeline operators. Verify that the colo operator's physical and network controls are compatible with OT security zoning requirements.
- How do I contact a colocation operator for a specific vertical?
- Each operator profile shows the operator's direct sales contact for free, a role-based email or phone number where the operator has provided one, and a free quote request that routes straight to them. Filter by certification or country first to narrow the shortlist.
