Rows of server racks in a data center aisle — data center equipment financing

How Elevex works

Forty seconds, start to funded.

The Reality

AI demand is compressing refresh cycles while power constraints stretch buildout timelines. Capital outlays land at commissioning; revenue arrives as racks fill. Generic lenders see depreciating boxes — we see contracted capacity and finance it that way.

Buildout-Phase Structures

Progress funding through construction and commissioning, with full payments beginning as capacity comes online and contracts start billing.

Refresh-Cycle Terms

Compute ages fast; power infrastructure doesn't. Terms matched per asset class — 3-year GPU cycles to 15-year switchgear — instead of one blended guess.

Full Facility Scope

From racks and servers to generators, UPS, and cooling plant: the entire capital stack under one financing relationship.

Technician managing network systems in a modern data center — colocation and operator equipment financing
Financing for the people who run the facility — operators, colocation providers, and integrators.

Built for Operators, Not IT Buyers

Corporate IT buys equipment; operators build capacity. The difference matters to financing: your revenue arrives as racks energize and contracts bill, your assets split between fast-cycling compute and decades-long power infrastructure, and your buildout timeline is hostage to utility interconnects.

We structure to that reality — progress funding through commissioning, per-asset-class terms, and payments that step up with contracted capacity.

Equipment We Finance

New, used, dealer, or auction — application-only to $1,000,000, terms from 36 to 84 months.

Server racks exchanging data in a colocation facility — server and rack financing

Compute & Racks

Server financing at rack and cluster scale, GPU infrastructure for AI workloads, storage arrays, and rack/containment systems — new and certified refurbished.

Rooftop cooling towers on a data center building — cooling and power infrastructure financing

Power & Cooling

UPS financing, backup generator packages, switchgear, PDUs, and CRAC/CRAH and liquid cooling plant — the long-lived infrastructure behind uptime.

Fiber optic cables connected to network switch ports — network infrastructure financing

Connectivity & Edge

Core network and fiber infrastructure, DCIM and monitoring platforms, and modular/edge data center units deployed where the workload lives.

Common Questions

Can financing match a colocation buildout schedule?
Yes — buildout-phase structures fund progressively through construction and commissioning, with payments stepping up as racks energize and colocation contracts begin billing. The financing follows the revenue curve of the facility, not a delivery date.
How do you handle GPU and AI hardware refresh cycles?
With per-asset-class terms: GPU clusters financed on 3-year technology-cycle terms with upgrade paths, while generators, UPS, and cooling carry the long terms their service life supports. One blended term for both is how operators get trapped.
Is usage-based financing available for data center capacity?
It is — usage-based and as-a-service structures tie payments to consumption or contracted capacity, which fits operators whose revenue bills the same way. Compare usage-based structures against traditional terms.
Does data center equipment qualify for Section 179?
Servers, networking, UPS, and much of the mechanical plant placed in service this year generally qualify, financed or not — though large facilities often exceed Section 179 caps and lean on bonus depreciation. Start with the Section 179 calculator and involve your tax advisor early.

Equipment Financing Guides

Deep dives on the specific equipment this industry runs — rates, structures, and what we finance.

Server & Compute Financing

Finance server and compute deployments on refresh-cycle terms that end when vendor support does — new and certified refurbished.

GPU Cluster Financing

Finance GPU clusters and accelerated compute, with the residual position set per transaction against the workload the cluster is committed to.

Storage Infrastructure Financing

Finance storage platforms with capacity expansions drawn against the same schedule, so growth doesn't mean re-procuring under pressure.

Networking Equipment Financing

Finance leaf-spine switching, optics, and fiber plant on a schedule planned alongside the compute refresh that drives it.

Cooling System Financing

Finance liquid cooling retrofits and chilled water plant as the construction projects they are, with payments timed to commissioned capacity.

UPS & Backup Power Financing

Finance UPS systems and power distribution with scheduled battery replacement planned into the structure from the start.

Rack & Containment Financing

Finance racks, cabinets, containment, and in-rack distribution in phases matched to deployed capacity.

Colocation Buildout Financing

Finance a colocation hall as one project — power, cooling, containment, and commissioning — drawn as white space is brought online.

Generator & Backup Power Financing

Finance standby generators, transfer switches, and paralleling switchgear — critical backup power spread across the years it protects.
