Collocation

Our collocation facilities offer cooling, power, space, and physical security features for the storage, server, and networking equipment of other firms. These are connected to a number of telecommunications equipment and network service providers easily and at low cost.

Collocation has grown dramatically in importance, especially for firms that need a sufficient amount of tools and equipment to fulfill their IT needs. Through collocation, companies can secure multiple advantages, one of which is saving a considerable amount of time arranging logistical support for the work, and instead allowing the IT staff to focus exclusively on the number of hours worked.

Other benefits include attaining significant scale advantages through having very large mechanical and power systems that range between 4500 and 9500 square meters, which equates to a range of 50,000 to 100,000 square feet.

The following presents a detailed list of collocation benefits that firms can achieve:

A fully functioning and predictable expenditure model
Extra capacity can be added swiftly and cheaply according to requirements
Improved access to power and space
Quality data center facility management via trained and experienced IT professionals
Shared networking via a developed and close-knit ecosystem of partners
A developed infrastructure for creating cloud strategies
Flexible or agile infrastructure to effective manage resources and assets during emergencies or effective planning
A comprehensive roadmap for data backup and recovery

The collocations facilities are offered to businesses on a term-basis, usually via contract as a retail rental business. Here are a few features:

Easily lockable cages or rack cabinets
Power is available in a number of formats, AC and DC
Efficient cooling to prevent premises and devices from damage or corruption due to overheating
Strong network connectivity – that can be utilized in a ‘house blend’ in which clients are connected to their own router via a colo provider, which is a customer of carriers, to multiple carriers, or as a ‘cross connect’ systems where access is available to carriers, to routers, or both
Robust physical security that includes a spectrum of solutions including badge and biometric access, video surveillance, secure logging, and other kinds of effective user authentication tools
Real-time performance tracking and monitoring for ensuring all aspects of the systems are functioning smoothly and any failures are detected and resolved instantly

In addition, redundant systems are also offered to help mitigate the problems when equipment and devices fail. Furthermore, there are plenty of scale economies that firms can benefit as a result of having access to multiple small and medium-sized businesses in a one-facility network. These are as follows:

Higher reliability for failed systems due to having redundant resources
Engineers monitor systems on a 24/7 basis
High network bandwidth and low network latency at minimal cost
Specialist IT technical staff, who are skilled and experienced that offer a range of service and repair service at a fraction of the cost for each client

There are various kinds of collocations customers. These are:

Web commerce companies that require cost-effective, redundant internet connections to use facilities in a safe environment
Established and large companies that use facilities and require data backup and business continuity solutions to counter disaster risks
Telecommunication enterprises that use data center facilities to exchange data with other similar companies and are in need of access to multiple clients. This is usually provided via a collocation facility in which multiple carriers provide data and serve as a ‘carrier hotel’; the existence of such a network is extremely beneficial to potential customers due to the value that is offered to them
eCommerce websites that require internet facilities to operate servers specific for processing online transactions in a secure and reliable manner

In general, collocation services provide features such as physical security, power, and infrastructure; Clients, on the other hand, have access to their servers and storage facilities. Other than this, the facility space pertaining to rack, cage, or room is leased and various collocation data centers, nowadays, are increasing their services portfolio to include managed services that complement their client’s strategic business goals and objectives.

Although there are many reasons that encourage business owners to choose collocation instead of developing their own enterprise data centers, the most cause for their decision is CAPEX, or capital expenditures, which are linked to the construction of a large building or operating a computing facility.

Typically, collocation data centers were immensely popular with private companies, mainly because of its data recovery benefits. However, it is now being utilized by cloud service providers a lot more frequently.

In addition, collocation is an extremely efficient solution for some enterprises, though there are certain drawbacks. The higher the distance in moving and manually touching devices, the greater tend to be travel costs. In these circumstances, clients that use collocation services are locked in long-term contracts, which prevent them from the possibility of re-negotiating prices when they experience operational difficulties.

For this reason, it is essential that companies evaluate their collocation service level agreements (SLAs) to judge whether they are in a position to oversee and manage a lack of cash and funds due to unexpected hidden charges.
