Colocation
Colocation hosting is gradually becoming more popular as businesses become more reliant on their IT equipment and the need to keep their data secure and accessible at all times. Many businesses may not want the inconvenience of regularly maintaining and monitoring their equipment, while others lack the infrastructure and skills to do so.
What is Colocation?
A colocation data center is a physical facility that provides computing hardware and servers with adequate power, cooling, and security. Cabinets, cages, and private suites are all part of this capacity.
Colocation providers frequently lease space to tenants seeking colocation services, such as network providers, cloud providers, and companies. These tenants can then connect to one another and do business within the colocation data center. This enables firms to concentrate their IT activities and build a cost-effective architecture.
In order to establish a colocation hosting arrangement, the customer must own their own physical server. The consumer is leasing space, similar to what they would do at a storage facility. The customer brings the server to the colocation hosting provider's location, which is often a data center. The customer just rents space in the data center or colocation site but retains ownership and control over all hardware and software configurations for that server. The user can instantly upgrade or downgrade features like bandwidth and rack space by connecting with the colocation hosting provider's team.
Common colocation characteristics include:
Facilities
Colocation allows you to store your IT hardware in the provider's data center. These facilities, which normally contain racks, cabinets, and cable trays for your equipment, are typically examined for dependability.
Power
Depending on the facility, colocation data centers typically contain backup generators with variable levels of redundancy and/or battery backup systems or uninterruptible power supplies.
Physical Security
Most colocation facilities maintain strong levels of physical security, such as on-site security guards, round-the-clock surveillance, and biometric authorization.
Advantages of Data Center Colocation
Colocation offers a high-performance environment for your mission-critical IT infrastructure. Customers can benefit from an SLA of 100 percent uptime and concentrate on their main business rather than operating a data center. Furthermore, colocation offers dedicated, private connections to hundreds of network, cloud, and IT service providers, which can help you streamline your architecture.
