Using colocation as part of your disaster recovery strategy

In today’s interconnected business landscape, disaster recovery (DR) has become a strategic requirement for organisations as they seek to protect against the loss of their critical IT infrastructure and data from catastrophic events. Colocation facilities offer companies the perfect disaster recovery solution, providing them with facilities that ensure the continuation of business operations, and in some instances, access to a physical workspace for their staff.

Scaling Your IT Infrastructure with Colocation  

In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, colocation has emerged as a pivotal strategy for businesses seeking to upgrade or scale their IT infrastructure. By leveraging the resources and expertise of specialised data centre providers, like Asanti, organisations can unlock new levels of agility and efficiency to support their growth trajectories.

What to do when a ‘cloud-first’ strategy doesn’t meet all of your IT needs. 

As businesses grow, their data processing and storage requirements can expand at an explosive rate, and as they grapple with the volume, velocity, and variety of data, many have turned to public cloud solutions to provide easily scalable infrastructure. Whilst this scalability gives businesses the ability to grow and manage increased demand, some businesses discover that a ‘cloud first’ strategy doesn’t work across their entire IT infrastructure. There can be several reasons for this, including legacy applications, which simply cannot run on public cloud infrastructure, and data sovereignty requirements, which mean that the data is subject to the laws and governance structures of the country in which it is collected or stored, which cannot always be guaranteed in public cloud environments.
