A colocation data centre is a secure facility where businesses can lease space for their IT infrastructure in a shared environment. It provides reliable space, power, and connectivity for servers and networking equipment, measured in 'footprints'. This flexible solution allows businesses to tailor their IT setup and buy one or more footprints, ensuring secure access to house IT equipment and connecting to a carrier of choice.
Colocation provides several advantages, including cost savings, improved security, scalability, and access to robust infrastructure. It offers a licensed footprint with constant power for IT equipment and 24/7 secure access, allowing businesses to benefit from shared resources while maintaining control over their IT assets in a reliable and secure environment.
Compared to on-premise data centres, colocation offers greater flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. It eliminates the need for significant capital investment associated with building and maintaining private data centres. With colocation, businesses can enjoy a secure and reliable environment for their IT.
Yes, colocation is cost-effective as it eliminates the need for businesses to invest heavily in building and maintaining their own data centres. It allows businesses to take advantage of dedicated space, constant power, and secure access while benefiting from shared infrastructure, reducing overall costs and providing better use of resources.
Colocation data centres prioritise security, by providing a safe, licensed footprint and resilient IT environment with constant power. Tightly controlled access adds an additional layer of security, offering peace of mind for businesses with regulatory compliance requirements.
