Deciding where to host your company's servers can be overwhelming, especially if you don't have experience in the field. There are many factors to consider, including cost, location, network quality, and service reliability. While it can be tempting to save money by hosting your servers in your office, this isn't always the best choice.
Colocation providers guarantee you access to power and internet connectivity. By choosing to host in a colocation data centre, you're, indeed, taking advantage of 24/7 constant security power and cooling systems. These measures mean you can trust that your services will be up and running at all times. That means fewer downtime issues, which equates to greater profitability. Most providers also offer backup generators in case of complete power failure at their data centre.
Colocation ensures your servers are always running in peak condition. Colocation also reduces downtime because you can access hosting facilities 24/7 with a login provided by you. Should something go wrong, it's quick and easy to log in and make repairs or adjustments to get everything back up and running quickly.
Most electronic equipment works at its optimal level only when kept in a specific range of temperatures and humidity. Anything outside that optimal range can cause trouble—and that means it's more difficult to keep those things working properly. Colocation facilities have access to high-end climate control systems, ensuring that their servers run well. This also helps owners save money on repairs and replacements.
Colocation providers offer physical security to ensure that no one unauthorised gains access to a colo facility. This means using biometric scanning systems, digital surveillance, and even lock-and-key technology.
One of the colocation's most compelling selling points is scalability. You can always add hardware to an existing physical server or add a new server to an existing virtual server. This flexibility comes at a lower cost than renting dedicated hardware from another provider. It also allows you to scale on-demand and avoid paying upfront capital expenditures in a year where you don't need that much power.
