Managed Colocation: Performance, Security and Convenience

Superior Performance, Robust Security and Convenience for Your Business.

What is colocation?

Colocation is the practice of businesses placing their IT infrastructure within a secure data centre rather than hosting equipment on their own premises or relying entirely on public cloud services. This approach typically offers improved physical security, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness through economies of scale, particularly when considering power and cooling requirements.
