Global colocation advisory

The right colocation space, in any market — built, contracted, and managed.

From a single cabinet to a full data hall, Bargun finds the space, negotiates the contract, builds out your racks, and runs the footprint after go-live. One team, from the first requirement to day-two operations.

What lands on our desk

You bring the requirement. We do the legwork.

Every engagement starts with a real deadline and a real constraint — power, latency, budget, or all three.

  • Three cabinets in Toronto with a cloud on-ramp, live in eight weeks?
  • A private cage in Sydney with A+B power and an exchange port?
  • An Amsterdam build-out — fiber, PDUs, access control — run from New York?
  • 40 kW GPU racks in Dallas, and a provider that can actually cool them?
  • A renewal coming up and nobody has benchmarked the price?
Services

Find it. Contract it. Build it. Manage it.

Take the whole lifecycle or just the stage you need. Either way you get one lead who owns the schedule, the providers, and the paperwork.

Find the right space

STAGE 1

We turn your requirement into a shortlist of facilities that fit on power, density, connectivity, and price.

  • Requirements, power and density sizing
  • Market and provider shortlists
  • RFPs, site tours, and comparative analysis
  • Primary and DR site separation

Contract it

STAGE 2

We level the bids and negotiate the terms that matter over the life of the deal, not just the monthly rate.

  • Bid and quote leveling
  • Pricing, power, escalators, and term
  • Expansion rights and renewal options
  • MSA and order-form review

Build out the racks

STAGE 3

We design and deliver the physical deployment, and coordinate every vendor on the floor until go-live.

  • Cabinet layouts and rack elevations
  • PDUs and A/B power distribution
  • Structured fiber and copper cabling
  • Cross-connects, carriers, and cloud on-ramps
  • Security, access control, and hardware logistics

Manage it

STAGE 4

After go-live we run the footprint for you, so it stays right-sized, documented, and correctly billed.

  • Remote- and smart-hands coordination
  • Capacity and power tracking
  • Invoice reconciliation and vendor billing
  • Provider portal and API integrations
  • Change management, DR playbooks, and renewals

Portfolio Desk · Managed service

Portfolio Desk is our monthly service for companies with colocation across several sites or providers. We keep the contracts current, check every invoice, chase every credit, and report on all of it in one place.

Delivered with AI agents, checked line by line by senior people. You get one monthly report and one point of contact.

See it work on a sample portfolio in the demo. With your own contracts, the usual first step is a one-time review of your current contracts and invoices.

Why Bargun

An operator's eye, a program manager's discipline.

One owner, start to finish

The person who shortlists your space is the one who signs off the build and handles the first renewal. Nothing gets lost between handoffs.

Built for regulated firms

Our playbook comes from programs at global banks and investment firms, where DR and audit readiness aren't optional.

Hands on the hardware

We know fiber, PDUs, and cross-connects, not just contract language. That's how we catch problems before they reach the floor.

About

Senior people, and the relationships to match.

Bargun was founded by Burak Argun, a New York–based infrastructure program manager with more than twenty years of experience, much of it running data center, disaster-recovery, and infrastructure programs for global financial firms.

He doesn't work alone. Every engagement draws on a bench of seasoned professionals — data center engineers, cabling and power specialists, and contract negotiators who have spent their careers in mission-critical facilities.

And we know the people on the other side of the table. Long-standing relationships with colocation providers’ sales and operations teams, carriers, and on-site installers mean faster answers, better access to space, and fewer surprises on the floor.
