Colocation FAQs
Whilst both offer the same function of monitoring and maintaining extensive IT infrastructure, there are significant differences between using a data centre and colocation services.
For example, a data centre is a physical location that houses computing infrastructure for the business that owns it. Whereas, colocation refers to the service an enterprise owning a data centre provides to a company.
The service allows the smaller company to store their IT equipment or cloud infrastructure within the data centre. What’s more, unlike a data centre, it’s scalable – so as the business grows, they can buy more resources and data space.
Organisations of any size can use colocation services to store their primary IT operations. Typically, larger businesses will use and benefit most from the service, as they can scale up the resources they need from the data centre as the company grows.
Companies that provide media and content on a larger scale will use data centres to ensure that this content is uploaded efficiently, and in a way that means it’s easily accessible to its audience.
E-commerce businesses might also use data centres as they can benefit from an advanced network that allows their website pages to load quickly. Meaning, it can provide an optimal user experience for their customers.
