Many IT businesses are opting for Colocation services, given the benefits associated with them. As storage and server capacity needs continually grow, traditional Data Centers can’t always meet stringent IT specifications or scale to demand without high capital expenditure.
Colocation Data Centers are facilities designed to house servers and other networking components. They provide the necessary rack space, cooling, power, and other essential IT infrastructure facilities.
So, why should IT companies be co-locating their servers to a Colocation center? Down below, we have listed out major reasons why many IT businesses today are making Server Colocation a necessity
- Reliability
- Affordability
- Predictability
- High-Quality Services
- Enhanced Security and Disaster Protection
- Space Limitations
- Scalability
Reliability
As a business, you need reliable servers. You lose money every minute your business goes offline because of the internet. Colocation data centers often offer recovery plans to ensure uptime and prevent downtime. At Micronova’s Data Center, we guarantee 99.75% uptime, so you won’t have to worry about losing all that money per minute.
Affordability
Saving money and increasing profits is a core business purpose. Data Colocation is all about saving your money. Businesses must have servers today to run their businesses, but it eats into budgets and expenses.
First, there’s the electricity factor consuming a lot of energy. Second, there’s the personnel factor which means you have to hire staff to keep the servers running smoothly. By sharing space, you share the electricity costs. Plus, Colocation centers provide trained staff to keep your technology and equipment safe. Colocation companies allow you to get more for your money.
Predictability
This benefit is aligned with affordability and reliability. Colocation Data Centers gives you a clear understanding of your budget requirement while signing the contracts. By storing your servers in-house, servers can run into multiple problems that add steep and unexpected costs to the budget. If stored in a Colocation space, you know what you will be paying each month.
High-Quality Services
Colocation data centers are competitive. They offer service level agreements that keep prices low and services high. Interconnectivity is part of these high services, which allows companies to benefit from cloud services. The combination of these competitive factors translates into flexibility and productivity for companies that take advantage of them.
Enhanced Security & Disaster Protection
As part of Colocation centers maintaining their competitive edge themselves, they offer significant security advantages to you. Physical security to keep the servers and data secure includes biometric scanners, resilient infrastructure so that the building itself can withstand floods, fires, or other weather conditions.
Moreover, most Colocation centers are equipped with generators in the case the power goes out, so your IT system is kept running. Many also offer Disaster Recovery programs. This is much more than the protection that most onsite servers receive.
Space Limitations
Maybe you are a small company and only have space for so much, or a growing company that has run out of space, either way, office space with limitations takes away from your capacity to house your server. The machines can take up a lot of space that can be used for other essential businesses. Moving the servers to a Colocation facility frees up much-prized office space.
Scalability
Whether you have one or more servers, it does not matter. You always have the option to upsize or downsize per your needs. But scaling up is a particular benefit to housing your server at a colocation site. The problem of finding room onsite for a second, larger, and bulkier server can be daunting. If your first server is already stored in a colocation facility, it’s easy enough to store a second or third one.
Colocation Data Centers allow you to scale rack space, bandwidth, and power according to your requirement.
