When an organization runs applications in a remote data center, they are protected from anything catastrophic happening at their office locations. The high availability services in a data center will continue to run and be accessible from any location, which allows companies to pivot into their own disaster recovery policies much faster to reduce downtime.
Colocation Data Center
What is a Colocation Data Center?
A colocation data center is a product offered by service providers in which organizations can rent space for their servers, networking equipment and computing infrastructure. Instead of hosting this equipment on-premises, businesses can house the equipment in a data center to take advantage of their robust infrastructure.
Key Features of a Colocation Data Center include:
Physical Space
Data centers offer secure rack space, cabinets or cages where organizations can install their networking equipment. The facility provides the necessary power, cooling and physical security.
Redundant Power and Cooling
Data centers are equipped with redundant power sources and cooling systems. This ensures operation even in the case of a power outage or cooling failure.
Security
Strict security measures are taken to protect the equipment, including access control, surveillance cameras, and 24/7 monitoring to protect against unauthorized access.
Connectivity
Data centers offer internet connectivity, often provided by multiple carriers. This allows organizations to have redundant internet connections for better reliability. You also have the unique opportunity to connect through the WIN network along with others to create redundancy.
