Colocation Hosting Solutions

A colocation center (known as a "colo") is a type of data center where multiple customers locate network, server and storage gear and interconnect to a variety of telecommunications and other network service provider(s) with a minimum of cost and complexity.

Increasingly organizations are recognizing the benefits of colocating their mission-critical equipment within a data center. Colocation is becoming popular because of the time and cost savings a company can realize as result of using shared data center infrastructure. With IT and communications facilities in safe, secure hands, telecommunications, internet, ASP and content providers, as well as enterprises, enjoy less latency and the freedom to focus on their core business.

Additionally, customers reduce their traffic back-haul costs and free up their internal networks for other uses. Moreover, by outsourcing network traffic to a colocation service provider with greater bandwidth capacity, web site access speeds should improve considerably.

Major types of colocation customers are:

• Web commerce companies, who use the facilities for a safe environment and cost-effective, redundant connections to the Internet
• Major enterprises, who use the facility for disaster avoidance, offsite data backup and business continuity
• Telecommunication companies, who use the facilities to interexchange traffic with other telecommunications companies and access to potential clients
  
  

Providing wholesale internet bandwidth or negotiated low per megabit rates to our colocation customers is a real priority of ours. We have relationships high and wide with the top colocation facilities in the United States, including, but not limited to:  CRG West, Equinix, Switch and Data, 365 Main, and many others.

Don’t get caught off guard not being able to transfer from your headquarters to your data center cages in a colocation facility, either. Let us build ethernet connections to your curb via existing cable infrastructure, microwave, or a fiber pull. Gone are the days when a DS3 point to point will suffice, but we are still not in an era where fiber to every curb is a reality. Let us make it your reality.

Colocation hosting and high volume bandwidth requirements can be an enigma to most salespeople, and most colocation providers leave it up to you to decide who to go with. We consult with you taking into account the cost per megabit, the financial stability of the carrier, and your project timeframe to help you choose the right carrier and oversee circuit installation.
