Managing and maintaining physical data centers can be challenging.

Space can be limited by on-site infrastructure and it comes with heavy investments in staff, systems and security which only grow as you do.

Enter co-location. House your servers off-site in our state-of-the-art, purpose-built facilities with supreme economies of scale and lower latency.

Not only does it comes with unprecedented access to a team of specialists, but you’ll have around-the-clock, enterprise-level security protecting your assets, supported by complete disaster resilience, preparedness and continuity.

The Challenges of In-House Data Centres

Space can be limited on your on-site infrastructure and often comes with heavy investments in staff, systems and security, which only grow as you do. In addition to the upfront setup costs, continued maintenance, energy bills, and upgrades can strain your organisation’s budgets.

Most organisations will find that maintaining round-the-clock physical and network security is an uphill task. Your on-premises security may lack the layers of protection and compliance certifications that enterprise-grade colocation centres specialise in.

High uptime depends on uninterrupted power availability and climate control, which can only be achieved in a state-of-the-art infrastructural setup. Without a professional-grade infrastructure, your in-house setup is prone to power outages and cooling system failures, with an increased likelihood of service disruptions.

You may have set up your on-premises infrastructure just fine, but the real challenge lies in scaling it as your business grows. You’ll need more space, more power, and better cooling systems, all of which require money and time, when you want to add more servers. Colocation services let you scale rapidly without worrying about any infrastructural limitations.

Your on-premises data centre needs round-the-clock monitoring, maintenance and emergency response. You’re at risk of missing alerts or experiencing long downtimes without skilled IT professionals monitoring your servers 24/7.

Catastrophic regional events like power outages, fires, or floods have the potential to harm your IT systems, hindering business continuity and disaster recovery. Colocation hosting providers have multiple geographical sites, so your business can get back up and running in no time.

Colocation FAQs

Colocation is a service where you receive rack space in a data centre for your server and IT hardware.

A data centre is a facility that houses servers, networking and IT equipment, while a colocation centre rents out physical space for your organisation to keep its equipment, and the data centre supplies the connectivity, power, cooling and security.

Rack space, cage, private suite, wholesale, cloud, and edge are the most common types of colocation.
