Advantages of Colocation Services for your Critical Data

By: Rob parker

One idea that has come to the forefront in light of recent disasters is that of the colocation centre: a secure site where several companies base their data centres. It is often the technical hub of a business where key applications and critical data are stored, as well as the area that manages incoming and outgoing electronic communication between the company, its clients, and its workers.

Data centres that are located in-house are increasingly expensive, and in the case of many small or medium sized businesses prohibitively so. By using a colocation centre, which securely houses the data centres for many different companies, business owners can cut costs significantly, both in terms of carrying capacity and personnel.

Because colocation centres concentrate only on IT aspects of business, they are always supplied with the latest in terms of worker ability, safety, and in-service provision.

The data stored in colocation centres are always protected by the very latest in firewall and other hacking proof technology. In-house servers frequently run behind the times, as security services need to be constantly monitored for any changes to protect against new threats. Business owners either get behind, or can’t pay the properly qualified personnel to monitor and update their systems. A colocation centre has a dedicated group of certified technicians monitoring the data centres in the facility 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As the costs are shared amongst the businesses using the facility, it is much more efficient than paying in-house staff.

Colocation centres can also take a lot of the headache out of customer relations. Internet presence is an increasingly important factor in creating and maintaining relationships between customers and businesses, and a fault with a connection can mean lost dollars. Colocation centres are serviced with the latest fool proof systems and wiring, allowing constant connectivity.

In the event of a disaster, colocation centres also include backup servers which kick in immediately if trouble occurs. This allows much more streamlined and efficient recovery in case data centres are compromised in any event. In-house data recovery is always much more costly, if in fact it is a possibility at all.

In short, colocation centres offer a lot of advantages to the business owner. Safety and continuity are two considerations when it comes time to decide if you want to outsource the storage of your critical data.
