There are many businesses that may not have the time or the money to invest in their own data center with all of the essential equipment, technology and security and staff that is required for the best data center results. So switching and renting out space at a secured facility from your preferred colo provider may be a viable option for you. A benefit of working with a colo provider is that you will be given the confidence of knowing what resources will be available when needed. It’s comforting to know that with a larger colo facility they offer significant benefits of scaling. Your colo provider will grow with your company to effectively provide you with all resources that fit your company’s needs.

Because you are essentially renting out space at a facility, make sure that you accurately estimate the amount of traffic that your company is using monthly to avoid overage costs. By working with your colo provider and choosing a facility that is close to your business and can provide robust connectivity options will help reduce these costs even more, while giving you the confidence that your connection will always be on, secure and fast!

Before you get too excited and pick any colo provider, make sure you read AeroCom’s “Ways to Pick a Colo Provider” blog. It is important to make sure that your provider is meeting your needs and expectations and that you are aware of exactly how much you are willing to spend and will be spending. Colocation facilities around the nation have spent millions of dollars providing the best security, reliability and disaster recovery data center facilities that many businesses could not otherwise fund and provide on their own. So if you are ready to get started, contact AeroCom today and let us help you find your preferred colocation provider.
