Claranet is a European managed services provider that sells colocation (dedicated rack space in accredited data centres) alongside managed cloud hosting, network and cybersecurity services, rather than operating hyperscale infrastructure of its own design. As of 2025 the company operates roughly a dozen named data centre facilities it lists on its own site across the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Brazil, India and the United States, with additional smaller sites in Italy limited to public-cloud/office operations rather than physical colocation. Founded in 1996 as a UK-based ISP, Claranet grew through a long string of acquisitions (Techgate and LinuxIT in 2015, XPeppers and Quinfox in 2018, CorpFlex and ID Grup in 2021, Mandic Cloud Solutions in Brazil in 2021) into a mid-market managed services provider with annualised revenue reported around £375 million and roughly 2,200+ employees. Its differentiator is a hybrid model: it runs some of its own data centre space (e.g. in Warrington, Gloucester, Leeds, Barcelona, Eindhoven, São Paulo, Hyderabad) while also leasing dedicated private space inside larger carrier-neutral facilities operated by others, such as EXA Infrastructure’s Hoddesdon site in Hertfordshire, which it selected in 2023 to house core infrastructure services under a five-year, 284 sqm, minimum 500kW agreement.
Claranet operates as a cloud provider and colocation provider, with facilities at the following locations:

Common Questions
Does Claranet operate its own data centres, or does it lease space from other providers?
Both. Claranet runs facilities of its own in cities such as Warrington, Gloucester, Leeds, Barcelona, Eindhoven, São Paulo and Hyderabad, but it also leases dedicated space inside third-party facilities — for example, in 2023 it signed a five-year deal for a minimum of 284 sqm and 500 kW of power at EXA Infrastructure's Hoddesdon data centre in Hertfordshire to house its core infrastructure services.
Does Claranet sell colocation services to customers?
Yes. Claranet's UK site describes its colocation offering as giving customers dedicated rack space in accredited UK data centres with 2N redundant power, enterprise cooling and 24/7 physical security, letting customers retain ownership of their own hardware.
Does Claranet have AI/GPU-specific data centre infrastructure?
No specific, sourced evidence of AI/GPU-optimized infrastructure (such as named GPU clusters or liquid cooling) at any individual Claranet facility was found as of this research.
In how many countries does Claranet have physical data centre facilities?
Based on facilities confirmed both on Claranet's own site and independent sources, Claranet has physical data centre presence in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Brazil, India and the United States.
Does Claranet offer cloud services?
