What is Colocation and how does it work?
Colocation, often referred to as “colo,” involves housing your critical IT infrastructure and servers in a dedicated data centre facility. This approach ensures that your equipment resides in a controlled environment, fortified with advanced security measures and redundant systems, while you maintain full control over your hardware and applications remotely.
There can be multiple users under the same machinal and electrical systems in a DC facility. Through colocation, a data centre provider can offer significant economies of scale for users that aren’t large enough to bring down the cost per critical KW that a scaled data centre can provide.
