Co-location

The term "colocation of servers" refers to the service of placing customer equipment in a secure commercial DC. In the data center, the device is connected to the main and backup power lines, as well as to high-speed communication channels. This ensures the round-the-clock operability of the equipment, as well as its safety: a narrow circle of people has access to the data center, so the data on it is reliably protected from outside interference.

Co-location is practiced by large companies that seek to reduce the cost of creating and maintaining a full-fledged equipment room. The cost of building your own DPC according to current standards is quite high, while co-location offers an effective and safe solution for managing electronic information resources of the enterprise.

Who Is This Service Suitable For?
In most cases, co-location is ordered by companies and enterprises that work with large volumes of traffic and serious loads. Standard virtual hosting doesn't cope with this kind of work, since the memory and processor time in it are shared between several users (there can be tens or hundreds of them). Also, it doesn't  allow installing the necessary operating system, programs, scripts, etc. VDS provides more options, but this is still not enough for large projects.

Co-location is the best choice for enterprises who want to have a complete server at their disposal. This service is ordered by hosting providers, large online stores, online services with high traffic, corporations and other organizations that work with large databases or large flows of information. Colo is also used by small companies that don't want or can't place racks in their office.

Pros of Co-location

The benefits of hosting a server in DPC include:

1. significant savings on the arrangement of the server. Building your own data center with providing it with a high-quality communication channel, backup power and forced cooling will cost a large amount.
2. Constant availability. In a standard office, it is almost impossible to achieve 100% uptime: when the power is turned off, the device will also turn off, and if the connection is disconnected it will not be available. DPC has the necessary backup systems to ensure the continued availability of equipment.
3. The ability to focus on core business. For many companies, DPC is not a core competency, so spending resources on it is not practical. It’s easier to choose a colo model for customer and business support.

Experts estimate that hosting servers in DCs is 43% cheaper than building and maintaining own equipment rooms, over a 10-year period. Taken a period of 5 years, then the savings will be almost 70%.
