Colocation is the practice of housing your servers and devices in a professional datacenter in order to access the benefits of greater bandwidth, lower latency, specialist services and systems, constant security advanced infrastructure, economies of scale, and a bunch of other benefits.
As the demands of the world increase, technologies grow to become more extensive and sophisticated. Constructing or adding to a proprietary, private datacenter becomes a commercially difficult (unless, perhaps, for the larger corporations that have plenty of dough to splash)
Greater resilience to disaster, malicious attacks, greater savings in costs, increases time flexibility as a convenience of service that is immediately on hand. A logical argument for colocation as a positive strategy for many businesses.
What are Colocation Services?
Colocation services are offered by datacenters equipped and configured to allow secure client access to private servers. Colocation services include:
- Leasing server cabinets and cages
- Connecting to an ISP's network and physical infrastructure
- Monitoring server status.
Each cabinet and cage is securely locked and inaccessible to other colocation clients.
Colocation services let clients take advantage of datacenter infrastructure, while maintaining control over their servers. The benefits colocation customers enjoy are:
- Environmental control (temperature, humidity, and filtration)
- Fire suppression systems
- Redundant power sources, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) backup
- Large capacity quality bandwidth
- Around-the-clock physical security
- Monitoring and technical services (storage, backups, firewall, and DDoS attack mitigation)
Using colocation services is an effective way for your business to achieve continuity, scalability and minimal network latency, while maintaining healthy costs, and at the same time having complete control over the physical server, operating system, and applications.
