What is colocation?

Colocation is a service that lets an organization place its own servers and IT equipment in a professionally managed data center instead of operating its own data center facility.

How does colocation work?

The customer typically owns and controls the hardware. The colocation provider supplies secure data center space, power, cooling, connectivity, and physical security. In addition, the provider might offer supplemental services, such as remote hands.

Why is colocation important?

Colocation gives organizations access to secure, reliable data center infrastructure without the cost and complexity of building and operating an entire facility themselves. It can also provide greater power, connectivity, redundancy, and physical security than many organizations could practically maintain on their own.

Benefits and use cases

• Improved reliability and connectivity
• Physical security and compliance-ready facilities
• Hybrid integration with public and private cloud
• Path for gradual cloud modernization
