Combining scalable power, high-reliability architecture and green efficiencies to deliver industry-leading uptime
Today: You’ve outgrown your IT Infrastructure, but you don’t have the space, capital or staff to efficiently expand. You’re faced with massive amounts of data growth, unstable application performance and an infrastructure that just won’t scale.
Tomorrow: You have the space, power and systems to grow your IT Infrastructure at the speed you grow your business.
Colocation is ideal for enterprises that need to maintain flexibility, reduce risk and stabilize capital and operating expenses. That’s why 64% of organizations engage in some form of data center colocation services, according to Focus Research Group.
Key benefits of colocation
- Improved reliability & availability through redundant infrastructure backed by service level agreements
- Increased efficiency & performance through purpose-built design (e.g., raised floor, temperature monitors and controls, etc.)
- Reduced costs relative to building your own data center
- Rapid scalability to add more physical space or increase densities as needed
- Risk mitigation through on-site security, video surveillance and other measures
- Compliance with regulatory requirements validated by third-party auditing
