CO-LOCATION SERVICES

Managed Colocation Services

Running your own Data Centre demands a lot of resource. You have to invest time and money into ensuring it supports all of your technical needs and find experts within your organisation who will manage it. With our Managed Co-location Services you can deploy and manage your infrastructure in our Tier III, ISO 27001 aligned Data Centres. This gives you access to specialist support, removes your current maintenance spend and enables you to benefit from the extensive investments we’ve already made.

Understanding key issues

CHALLENGES

Data Centre maintenance

Maintaining the building, cooling, power, bandwidth and physical security as well as the servers and storage is resource intensive. Doing so correctly AND innovatively, takes time, money and expertise.

Capital expenditure

Capital spending on technology can incur high costs upfront, involve error-prone estimations about future needs and create difficulties when you need to update your tech.

Ensuring security

Securing your workload from its physical surroundings, from the network connections to post-disaster recovery, is an arduous, albeit necessary, task.

Expert management

The more tech you manage in-house, the more skills and specialties you are demanding of your IT teams. This means that their skills and the expertise you need can end up being spread thinly.
