Many medium sized businesses rely heavily on the internet to conduct business.

For these companies loss of Internet translates into loss of revenue

To preempt such disasters, highly dependable internet servers are needed that are protected against local abnormalities such as power outages, fire and floods.

Luckily, data centers built earlier are being repurposed as server colocation facilities.

This has enabled small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to have access to first class data center as large companies do.

Server colocation is becoming popular because the customer saves time by using someone else’s facility.

Moreover, customers experience faster access to the internet with concurrent freedom to focus on their domain activity .

When you house servers in a vendor’s data center, you can have access to extremely fast, redundant, upstream internet connections, multiple power supplies and high grade security.

Colocation is the practice of putting your internet servers in a vendor’s data center.This may sound forbidding but if you come to think of it; server colocation business is the offshoot of markets’ response to the huge capital requirement to install and deploy high quality and reliable environments for business operations.

The server colocation model spreads cost across multiple businesses, so that each entity gets more for less.

The three critical aspects of any server colocation facility are: 1. The physical space for the server 2. Connections for power and the internet 3. Services to keep servers operational

But first, what is colocation?

Importance of the physical environment

A properly managed data center prevents fire by using non-combustible items like tiled floors, metal racks, and paper free environments.

As a first line of defense the data center must have in place an appropriate in-house fire dousing system.

Access control

A good buffer zone around the site Retractable crash barriers at vehicle entry points Bomb detection provisions Plenty of security cameras Biometric authentication

Flood prevention

Water can seep in due to air conditioning systems and breakages of water pipes.

Contact with water is highly undesirable for servers. A good data center has water sensors around major

equipment.

Even with an assortment of benefits like faster deployment, economies of scale, superior facility and network availability, the server colocation model has its share of challenges

Opex can be higher than expected if Total Cost of Ownership ( TCO) and capital depreciation is not accounted for.

Adequate skill is required for remote infrastructure and application management.

Frequent visits may be required at the initial stage during preliminary build up.

Challenges ahead

In server colocation, pricing is by the rack unit. This may not suit low-density legacy systems.

The client has no control over physical and network security decision making

However, most of the above considerations are addressed by companies before server colocation is decided.

Many organizations have now realized that owning, operating and managing their own data centers are a very expensive and specialized task. They are increasingly coming to a decision that it is better to rent than own.
