Colocation
Not all Data Centers are created equal
Although many data centers may look alike and make similar claims, they’re not the same. The best are purpose-built, allowing for greater resilience and optimal sustainability. Repurposed or retrofitted buildings are more prone to outages and are considerably less operationally efficient.
Know what’s important
It’s important to know what to look for when selecting a colocation provider and touring data center facilities. The best data centers deliver system redundancy (power, UPS, cooling, etc.) and a secure, flexible foundation to deploy and manage your core business infrastructure. A provider must be able to prove to you that they have the capacity and flexibility to allow you to grow.
For all practical purposes
Our data centers are equipped with ultra-reliable infrastructure and numerous regional and national carriers.
