Co-Location
What is Colocation?
Colocation is a service offered by a small number of Internet Service Providers (ISPs), with specially equipped
datacenters. The ISP leases datacenter space to clients, for placing their privately owned servers at the datacenter.
The server hardware is connected to the datacenter's network and physical infrastructure, but is operated by the client
and does not receive any system administration from the ISP.
Colocation lets clients take advantage of superior datacenter infrastructure while maintaining control of their
servers. Datacenter amenities include physical security, environmental control (constant temperature and humidity
maintenance, particulates filtration), fire suppression systems, redundant power sources and UPS backup, large
capacity of multi-homed quality bandwidth, and available server monitoring and technical services.
Colocation is an effective way to achieve business continuity, scalability, and minimal network latency, at a
fraction of the cost it takes to accomplish the same in a private datacenter, while maintaining total control over
the physical server, the operating system and the applications.
Here are some of the options and benefits of locating your server at one of our datacenters:
