Colocation Datacentre

Colocation or colo, as it is often referred to, is a service provided by data centres where a number of businesses are given the opportunity to locate their networks, servers and IT storage in a state of the art facility. The basic infrastructure of a colocation datacentre: power, cooling and UPS is managed by the facilities own staff. The IT equipment and the software are managed by the clients, with assistance from the centre’s intelligent or remote hands, which can change servers, reconfigure hardware or undertake maintenance on a 24 hour 365 day basis.
This Colocation Datacentre model offers customers the benefits of:
- Economies of scale reducing OPEX, less capital investment or CAPEX
- Greater quality and robustness
- The ability to rapidly scale up activities without extensive planning and often long time delays.
SELECTING A COLOCATION DATACENTRE
Great care needs to be exercised when selecting a colocation datacentre. Most on the surface look alike but it reality may be very different. Two features need checking out carefully:
- Do they have a long term development plan and a structure that is capable of rapid change, enabling them to bring into play new and developing technologies over the next 10 years?
- What is the availability of power now and into the future? Will it be sufficient for both you and their other customers?
If the answers to either of these questions is “no” then the facility may not offer a long term solution to your needs.
