Secure, scalable data centers are essential for any business looking to achieve optimal operations and succeed in the digital age. Given how quickly technology evolves and the need for iron-clad cybersecurity measures to guard against constantly evolving threats, maintaining up-to-date data centers and IT infrastructure can be challenging, especially for small and midsize businesses (SMBs) with limited resources.

Dedicated Servers
Some of our data center suppliers offer customized dedicated server configurations. Benefits include 100 percent uptime SLAs for power and network connectivity, as well as redundant connectivity, power and cooling, among other advantages.
Colocation
Leveraging colocation services involves renting space from a data center provider to house servers and other kinds of IT equipment. The vendor is typically responsible for cooling systems, power, bandwidth and IP addresses.
This gives your organization access to enterprise grade, advanced infrastructure, without spending the time and funds needed to construct your own data center. Here are a few more reasons why businesses choose colocation services:
- Scalability: Colocation makes it easy to scale hardware up or down to match your organization's changing needs.
- Compliance: For companies that are subject to HIPAA and other industry regulations, many suppliers have data centers that meet all compliance-related standards.
- Advanced IT security: Most data center providers already have cutting-edge cybersecurity measures in place to safeguard against threats and prevent costly breaches.
- Less downtime and fast disaster recovery: Most data center providers ensure nearly 100 percent uptime. They also typically have redundant cooling systems and power sources, which ensures your IT infrastructure maintains optimal operations at all times.
