2020 WINTER CUSTOMER SUCCESS REPORT

COLOCATION SERVICES CATEGORY COLOCATION SERVICES OVERVIEW

Colocation services allow businesses to host their data in a third-party that has privately-owned networking equipment and servers. Instead of maintaining servers in-house, at a private data center, or in offices, enterprises can elect to co-locate their infrastructure by renting space in a colocation center.

Unlike other types of hosting where clients can rent server space owned by a hosting vendor, with colocation, the client owns the server and rents the physical space needed to house it in a data center. The colocation service rents out data center space where clients can install their equipment. It also provides the cooling, IP address, bandwidth, and power systems that the customer needs to deploy their servers.
