Secure and Scalable Colocation Solutions

Colocation involves organizations placing their servers and essential computing hardware for data storage in leased space within a physical data center operated by a third party.

Colocation, also known as 'colo,' provides businesses with access to robust infrastructure that exceeds typical on-premises solutions, often ensuring nearly 100% uptime through SLAs. Through colocation, organizations can avoid large capital expenditures by splitting operational costs like power, cooling, bandwidth, and security with other tenants in a data center. This covers the costs of HVAC units, electrical grids, backup generators, and UPS systems. In comparison to creating and maintaining a separate data center, colocation is more affordable and easier to operate because it eliminates the continuous maintenance expenditures related to managing in-house servers.

Colocation in a data center offers businesses enhanced security both physically and in terms of network protection, which often exceeds what can be achieved cost-effectively on-premises. Strong cybersecurity safeguards, put in place by data center operators in association with outside experts, protect tenants from online attacks. The facilities provide continuous surveillance by on-site guards and round-the-clock closed-circuit video monitoring. Access is strictly controlled through secure, segregated areas. Additionally, advanced protocols for flood and fire protection are in place to safeguard colocation hardware from physical threats. Comprehensive cybersecurity solutions, including antivirus software, antispam measures, firewalls, anti-DDoS protection, VPN connections, and more, are available to ensure the security of tenant operations.
