Colocation
In order to ensure your IT services are running efficiently and with minimal interruption it is important to
ensure they are housed in a secure and maintained environment. Colocation is a very cost effective way
to do this, ensuring you are getting all the benefits of a bluechip standard data centre without the
requirement of running and maintaining one.
Whether you are hosting your companies IT infrastructure, a disaster recovery solution or off-site
backup service you get the same high standard environment to house your hardware regardless of
what equipment you need to colocate. You can host anything from a single server to several server
cabinets full of hardware within our Nottingham data centre.
