When companies want to have 100% control over the resources and operation of their server while also ensuring maximum security and performance, a colocation service is an excellent option. This is a privately owned and controlled server that is hosted in a special area in a data center.
There are several reasons why a company would select a colocation service over cloud computing. Of course, a private server at a data center can be used to create a hybrid cloud, which is the best of both worlds for many companies.
Reduced Costs
While there is the cost of the server, all other costs, such as maintaining a server room, hiring an in-house IT team, and having to maintain the server, are eliminated. The cost for colocation depends on the specifics required, but it does save a company money over one or more in-house servers.
Increased Uptime
Every data center that is a Tier lll level must have redundancies in all aspects of its infrastructure. This includes power, maintenance, service, and even in carrier connections to the data center. This results in over 99.9% uptime, which is significantly more than in-house servers.
Improved Performance
Monitored and maintained by experienced technicians and engineers at data centers, colocation services ensure optimal server performance. In addition, the additional bandwidth and internet connectivity provide top end-user experiences.
Increased Security
With around the clock monitoring and maintenance of the servers as well as systems that are designed to meet the current compliance requirements for data centers, the security levels at these facilities are superior to what can be provided for in-house server rooms. This not only helps to protect the physical server but also helps to reduce the risk of any data breaches from internal or external sources.
