But what exactly is colocation, and how can it benefit your business?
In today’s fast-paced digital world, businesses need secure, reliable ways to store and access their data. For companies that handle their own servers, colocation has become a popular choice, allowing organizations to place their servers in a professionally managed data center without giving up control.
What is Colocation? Think of It as “Bring-Your-Own-Server” Hosting
Colocation is a service where companies house their own servers in a data center managed by a third-party provider, like Agilis Networks.
You bring your server—meaning you own and control the hardware—and we provide the facility, the power, the cooling, and the security. In a nutshell, colocation gives you the best of both worlds: you maintain full control of your server, but without the costs and hassle of building and managing an on-site data center.
Why Choose Colocation? Key Benefits for Your Business
Enhanced Security
Agilis’s data centers are built with security in mind, featuring strict access controls, video monitoring, and multiple layers of physical security. By colocating, you’re safeguarding your servers in a professionally monitored facility—keeping your data far safer than it would be in a typical office setting.
Cost Savings
Building and maintaining an in-house data center is costly. With colocation, you avoid those high overheads and still have a reliable, high-tech space to store your servers. The result? Lower hosting costs without sacrificing quality.
Reliability and Uptime
Colocation facilities offer dependable power sources, backup generators, and redundant network connections to keep your server running smoothly. This means that even during power outages or internet issues, your server stays operational, reducing downtime for your business.
Flexible Control
Since you own the server, you can customize it to meet your business needs. With remote access capabilities, you’re able to maintain control and make updates without needing to be on-site at the data center.
Off-Site Backup Solution
Colocation can be a key part of your disaster recovery plan. By housing your server in an off-site location, you have a secure backup that’s ready and available should something go wrong at your main business location.
Who Can Benefit Most from Colocation?
Colocation is ideal for businesses that need secure, reliable, and cost-effective data hosting but still want full control of their servers. Whether you’re a small business seeking an affordable solution to host critical data, or a larger organization aiming to diversify your data storage, colocation can be a flexible option.
