Colocation Services: Security & infrastructure of a dedicated data center

For many businesses, cloud computing services are acceptable and even preferred but colocation still has a very valuable place in most IT organizations.  Colocation provides the security and infrastructure of a dedicated data center but without the added costs of building and maintaining it.  By using a colocation facility, companies receive the benefits of maintaining control of the physical aspects of their systems while providing additional redundancies for their IT infrastructure.

What are the benefits of colocation?

• Reduced building maintenance costs
• Scalability:  Pay for as little or as much space as you need
• Flexibility:  Establish temporary test/dev environment that can be expanded quickly
• 100% Availability Service Level Agreement (SLA)
• Reduced energy costs (power, cooling)
• Reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
• Carrier-neutral colocation: Connectivity to multiple ISP’s and data networking service providers
• Low or zero cost local loops
• Available mirroring services
• Backup power and redundancies built into the data center
• Multiple fiber and cable entrances to ensure no “backhoe fade” (fiber cuts that impact service)
• Protection from natural disasters
• Ability to locate multiple data centers across the US or worldwide
• 24 x 7 x 365 Access to your hardware
• 24 x 7 x 365 monitoring capabilities or outsourced NOC
• “Remote Hands” service/ professional services
• Increased security via biometrics, guards, cameras, key cards
• Data center certification under common standards and regulations: SSAE 18 Type II, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS and more.
• Some data centers also provide free flexible workspaces that include various amenities such as internet access and conference rooms while your IT staff is working on-site
• Predictable monthly expenses
