The trend of placing server hardware in third-party data centres is becoming increasingly entrenched in modern business. There are several ways of entrusting your IT resources to professionals. Today we will talk about one of them — colocation.
Features of the service
Colocation (Colocation, colocation or placement) is a service that involves placing the customer's server equipment on the territory of the provider's data centre.
Data centre (or DPC — data processing centre) is a specialised premises where server equipment is located. On the territory of the data centre are provided:
Colocation service is also called physical hosting. Colocation involves the installation of the client's equipment on the technical site of the hosting provider.
Differences from hosting and virtual servers
The main distinguishing feature of the service is the complete freedom of the customer’s choice. If the use of hosting and virtual servers implies the placement of resources using the provider's equipment, colocation is exclusively your own server. On the one hand, it is convenient due to the ability to independently scale, change the configuration of the system, select and configure its components. On the other hand, it is more expensive at the first stage of implementation (when you need to purchase all the necessary equipment yourself). Also, unlike hosting and virtual servers, the responsibility for the performance of the system lies with the client, and the provider only maintains optimal working conditions.
The most common colocation has with dedicated servers. This service involves renting the provider's equipment, but there are still software and hardware limitations, which can only be eliminated by purchasing your own server.
When using the colocation service, it is worth noting that the server operation should also be managed by an employee of the customer company. On the other hand, some data centres, including Maxnet Data Centre, provide server administration service. Our system administrators can undertake system monitoring, optimisation and work with the client's server software. As part of the physical administration, server replacement and modernisation work can be carried out. The components can be either self-provided by the client or purchased by us by prior order.
