Houston Colocation · Tier III Data Center
Colocation inside the Westland Bunker.
A Tier III data center in Montgomery, TX — 45 miles north of Houston and 5 miles from The Woodlands. Mako Logics operates inside the facility every day — offices in the building, engineers on the floor. Your hardware lives in the same building as the people managing it — not in someone else’s cloud, not at the end of a remote-hands ticket queue.
Why this matters
Most MSPs have never set foot in the data center they sell you.
Your data ends up in a rack in a building your MSP can’t enter, managed by someone they’ve never met, billed through a reseller contract with pass-through SLAs that are hard to enforce.
We work inside the Westland Bunker. Our engineers have direct physical access to the facility where your hardware lives. Tickets about your hardware go to people who can walk over to it. That’s the difference.
Inside the facility
Real photos. Real infrastructure.
The building, the power, the cooling, the cages. This isn’t marketing language — it’s where your hardware lives.
Specs
What makes it a fortress.
Tier III facility
Redundant power and cooling, concurrently maintainable, engineered for high availability.
Hardened building
Purpose-built industrial structure designed to keep running when the grid around it doesn't.
Biometric access
Physical access controlled by biometrics, visitor logs, and camera coverage.
N+1 redundancy
Redundant power, cooling, and connectivity. A single failure doesn't take anything offline.
Compliance-ready
Physical controls that support SOC 2, HIPAA, and CMMC requirements at the infrastructure layer.
We work inside it
Our offices are in the building. Our engineers walk to the racks when something needs hands on it.
Who this is for
The kind of buyer who wants to walk into their data center.
Oil & gas and industrial services
Sensitive geological data, inspection records, engineering files. Regulatory pressure (TSA, DOT, API) that treats infrastructure as part of compliance.
Healthcare and PHI
HIPAA-heavy practices where a breach is six-figure fines per record. Multi-site clinics, imaging centers, behavioral health, clinical trials.
DoD supply chain and CMMC
Machine shops, manufacturers, and professional firms that need Level 2+ physical controls to bid on defense work.
Compliance-heavy B2B
Insurance, investigative, legal, CPA firms — boutique operations expected to meet enterprise-grade security expectations.
Colocation with Mako Logics
What it actually looks like when you colocate here with us.
To be precise: the Westland Bunker is an independently operated Tier III data center. Mako Logics doesn’t own it — we operate inside it. That matters because it’s the truth, and because the buying decision is different when you understand it.
You can go to the Bunker operator directly for raw cabinet space. When you work with us instead, you’re buying the access plus the engineering team that walks the floor every day.
Cabinet and cage space
Full cabinets, partial cabinets, or dedicated cages in a Tier III facility. Redundant power feeds (A+B), N+1 cooling, room for dense deployments.
Dedicated internet and cross-connects
Carrier-diverse fiber into the building. Clean pulls to your equipment. Cross-connects to other tenants or upstream carriers when you need them.
Remote hands, done right
Not a ticket queue to a reseller. Our engineers are in the building, know your stack, and can be at your rack in minutes instead of hours.
Managed above the rack
Optional: 24/7 monitoring, patching, backup, EDR / MXDR, and our full cybersecurity stack layered on top of your colocated infrastructure.
Compliance-aligned controls
Physical controls at the facility layer that support HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, CMMC Level 2, and the industrial-compliance frameworks (API / TSA / DOT) our clients run on.
Exit plans up front
Your hardware, your data. We document migration paths — back to on-prem, to public cloud, or to another facility — during onboarding, not after you're locked in.
FAQ
Houston colocation — common questions.
Is Mako Logics the owner of the Westland Bunker?+
No. The Westland Bunker is an independently operated Tier III data center in Montgomery, TX. Mako Logics operates inside the facility — our offices are in the building and our engineers work there every day. That gives us direct physical access to the data floor, not a reseller contract or a remote-hands ticket queue.
Where is the Westland Bunker located relative to Houston?+
The Westland Bunker is in Montgomery, TX — roughly 45 miles north of downtown Houston, 5 miles from The Woodlands, and inside Montgomery County. For most Houston-metro businesses it's a realistic drive for site visits, compliance audits, and client tours, while still being outside the immediate flood and hurricane surge footprint closer to the coast.
What does "Tier III" actually mean for my uptime?+
Tier III is the Uptime Institute's designation for concurrently maintainable infrastructure — redundant power and cooling paths, N+1 across major components, and the ability to take any single system offline for service without taking tenants down. In practice it targets 99.982% availability. The Westland Bunker is purpose-built around those requirements.
What does colocation with Mako Logics actually include?+
Cabinet or cage space inside the Bunker, redundant power and cooling, dedicated internet and cross-connects, remote hands from our onsite engineers, and the same 24/7 monitoring, patching, and security stack we run for managed-IT clients. You can colocate bare infrastructure and manage it yourself, or have Mako manage everything above the rack.
Can the Bunker support HIPAA, SOC 2, and CMMC workloads?+
Yes — at the physical-controls layer. The facility's biometric access, camera coverage, visitor logs, and N+1 redundancy map to the infrastructure controls those frameworks require. HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, and CMMC Level 2 still require application-layer, administrative, and process controls on top — that's the half we run for regulated clients.
How is this different from AWS, Azure, or a generic "cloud" provider?+
With public cloud, your workloads live on shared hardware in a facility you'll never enter, managed by a hyperscaler whose support model is asynchronous ticketing. With colocation in the Bunker, your hardware is yours, in a room our engineers walk through every day. Better for workloads with strict data-residency, latency, audit, or long-lived hardware requirements — not a replacement for burst cloud compute.
Can I tour the facility before signing anything?+
Yes. Tours are available for qualified prospects. We'll walk the building, show you the power and cooling infrastructure, and answer every question about compliance, redundancy, onboarding, and exit. Visitors are escorted and logged per the facility's access policy.
What happens if I want to exit colocation later?+
You own your hardware and your data. Exit plans are part of the onboarding conversation — we document migration paths (back to on-prem, to another colo, or to public cloud) before you sign, not after you're locked in. Mako Logics uses 1/2/3 year service contracts to pass through vendor discounts; facility space is contracted separately and has its own terms we walk through line-by-line.
Want to see it for yourself?
Tours are available for qualified prospects. We’ll show you the facility, walk the specs, and answer every question about compliance, redundancy, and onboarding.
