Facility brief
Colocation services (also known as "colo") offer a secure environment for hardware and access to network connectivity that enables reaching customers worldwide. Typically, a colocation service provides the building, cooling, power, bandwidth and physical security while the customer provides servers. Capacities in the facility are leased by the rack, cabinet, cage or room.
Colocation facilities provide space, power, cooling, and physical security for the server, storage, and networking equipment of other firms and also connect them to a variety of telecommunications and network service providers with a minimum of cost and complexity.
With colocation services, businesses purchase their own equipment and pay a colocation provider for the space and resources in the data centre. The individual is then responsible for setting up and configuring their server and maintaining it going forward.
Many businesses choose to move away from hosting their IT infrastructure in-house and want the flexibility of still being able to manage their own equipment. Space is rented based on their requirements but can be easily scaled up as the business grows.

Colocation can also be a step toward cloud migration.

Colocation works by providing businesses with physical space, power, cooling, and network connectivity within our data centre facilities. Businesses can rent space in our cabinets or racks to house their servers and equipment, while we handle the facility management and infrastructure support. This allows businesses to focus on their core operations while enjoying the benefits of a secure and reliable hosting environment.
Businesses may choose colocation services for various reasons, including the need for reliable and secure hosting infrastructure, the desire to offload the burden of managing a data centre facility, and the need for scalability and flexibility to accommodate growth. Colocation services offer businesses the opportunity to benefit from enterprise-grade infrastructure without the upfront costs and ongoing maintenance associated with building and managing their own data centre.
Colocation provides businesses with greater control and flexibility over their hardware compared to cloud hosting, which offers virtualized resources on a shared infrastructure. Dedicated servers offer similar control but require businesses to manage hardware maintenance and infrastructure upgrades themselves, whereas colocation facilities handle these tasks.
Colocation facilities employ a range of security measures, including 24/7 onsite security personnel, biometric access controls, video surveillance, and locked cabinets or cages to protect servers and equipment.
Most colocation facilities offer 24/7 access to customers for managing and maintaining their equipment. However, access procedures may vary, and some facilities may require advance notice or have restrictions on access.
Colocation facilities often provide disaster recovery and business continuity services, including redundant infrastructure, backup power systems, and geographic redundancy to minimize downtime in the event of a disaster or outage.
