Co-Location
Co-Location
Increasingly organizations are recognizing the benefits of co-locating their mission-critical equipment within a data centre. Colocation is becoming popular because of the time and cost savings a company can realise as a result of using shared data centre infrastructure.
Significant benefits of scale (large power and mechanical systems) result in large co-location facilities, typically 50,000 to 100,000 square feet. 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 co-location service provider with greater bandwidth capacity, web site access speeds should improve considerably.
Major types of co-location 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
