Colocation hosting services provide a business with a secure data centre that provides constant power, network connectivity and security. The process of colocation involves renting space to store your business’ important servers and critical IT infrastructure You can then choose to manage this yourself or choose colocation with a managed service layer. With colocation, businesses retain ownership and control over their physical servers and IT equipment, while the colocation provider manages the infrastructure, such as power, cooling and security. Colocation services can bring many benefits to businesses that require high levels of uptime, security and connectivity for their IT infrastructure, without the upfront CAPEX of building and maintaining their own data centre.

The main advantages of colocation hosting over public cloud hosting are the cost saving potential and control. Public cloud-based solutions allow you to provision servers quickly, and at scale, for a relatively low cost. However, as your data and user base grow, the costs of cloud services can quickly escalate.
If you are using AI based applications, where real time decision making can be localised, such as the technology used within smart cities, then regional edge facilities can also be a major advantage in terms of reduced latency.
Colocation hosting provides businesses with physical control over their infrastructure within a secure data centre facility and can help businesses to remain compliant with data residency and sovereignty regulations. Public cloud hosting, on the other hand, cannot offer the same assurances around data sovereignty or residency, often have hidden costs related to data transfer and offer little to no control over security. Businesses should carefully consider their specific needs, security requirements, and compliance constraints to determine the most suitable hosting solution.
By understanding the differences between colocation and public cloud hosting, businesses can make informed decisions and align their hosting strategy with their overall business and IT objectives.
With Colocation facilities, businesses have complete control over their hardware and software configurations. This level of control can be important for businesses with specific security, regulatory, or performance requirements, especially when it comes to data residency and sovereignty.
Our colocation hosting offers predictable, monthly costs for space, power, and bandwidth, making it easier for businesses to budget for their IT infrastructure. Whereas public cloud hosting billing can be unpredictable.
Colocation allows businesses to customise their hardware and network configurations to meet specific performance requirements. Our colocation data centres offer a 99.99% uptime SLA.
Our Colocation facilities provide high levels of physical security by offering features such as biometric access controls and video surveillance. We can also help businesses meet compliance requirements. Each of our data centres is also ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 accredited.
Each of our 6 UK data centres is powered by 100% green energy and we are constantly upgrading each to drive PUE.
