data center colocation

Collocation is the placement of a server in a third-party data center. You install your own equipment in the data centers, so you have full control and freedom in management.

The problem is that not every office has the conditions to store and maintain equipment. If the space is too humid, there is a lot of dust, there are frequent power outages, the server machines wear out and fail quickly. With high prices, difficulties in recovery and transfer of data, such situations can severely affect the budget of the company. To reduce the risks, colocation helps. Data centers have rooms for rent in which the conditions necessary for safety are maintained:

• temperature control through ventilation and cooling systems;
• multiple power supplies;
• minimum moisture and dust;
• systems for ultra-early detection of fire sources and fire extinguishing;
• stable Internet thanks to connection to several providers;
• video surveillance and round-the-clock monitoring.

The centers always have specialists who can quickly solve problems with the equipment.

From a technical point of view, the security system complies with Tier III standards. Any manipulation with servers is allowed only if documents are provided to the manager. A pass system in the areas, video surveillance, and redundant power supplies all make data centers reliable places to house server equipment.

According to the requirements of Russian legislation, personal data must be stored on the territory of the country, so the physical location of the server is important for IT companies. That is why we provide services and locations in the centers of Moscow and St. Petersburg.

On the user side, there is no difference. In both cases, the server equipment is located in our data center, and you can fully control it. The only difference is that in the first case the server stays in the provider's property, and in the second - in yours. It is more expensive to buy your own equipment, but sometimes it is necessary, that's why there is a service for renting space to place it.

Most popular servers are standardized, so you can easily place it in a standardized rack. If you have any doubts, you can contact our managers and tell us your dimensions - we will find a solution to place the equipment.
