Many medium sized businesses rely heavily
on the internet to conduct business.
 For these companies loss of Internet translates into loss of
revenue
 To preempt such disasters, highly dependable internet servers are
needed that are protected against local abnormalities such as
power outages, fire and floods.
 Luckily, data centers built earlier are being repurposed as server
colocation facilities.
 This has enabled small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to have
access to first class data center as large companies do.

Server colocation is becoming popular because the customer saves
time by using someone else’s facility.
Moreover, customers experience faster access to the internet with
concurrent freedom to focus on their domain activity .
When you house servers in a vendor’s data center, you can have
access to extremely fast, redundant, upstream internet
connections, multiple power supplies and high grade security.

 Colocation is the practice of putting your internet servers in a
vendor’s data center.This may sound forbidding but if you come to
think of it; server colocation business is the offshoot of markets’
response to the huge capital requirement to install and deploy
high quality and reliable environments for business operations.
 The server colocation model spreads cost across multiple
businesses, so that each entity gets more for less.
 The three critical aspects of any server colocation facility are:
1. The physical space for the server
2. Connections for power and the internet
3. Services to keep servers operational
But first, what is colocation?

Importance of the physical environment
 A properly managed data center prevents fire by using non-
combustible items like tiled floors, metal racks, and paper
free environments.
 As a first line of defense the data center must have in place
an appropriate in-house fire dousing system.

Access control
 A good buffer zone around the site
 Retractable crash barriers at vehicle entry points
 Bomb detection provisions
 Plenty of security cameras
 Biometric authentication
Flood prevention
 Water can seep in due to air conditioning systems and
breakages of water pipes.
 Contact with water is highly undesirable for servers.
 A good data center has water sensors around major
equipment.

Even with an assortment of benefits like faster deployment,
economies of scale, superior facility and network availability, the
server colocation model has its share of challenges
 Opex can be higher than expected if Total Cost of Ownership ( TCO)
and capital depreciation is not accounted for.
 Adequate skill is required for remote infrastructure and application
management.
 Frequent visits may be required at the initial stage during
preliminary build up.
Challenges ahead

 In server colocation, pricing is by the rack unit. This may not suit
low-density legacy systems.
 The client has no control over physical and network security
decision making

However, most of the above considerations are addressed by
companies before server colocation is decided.
Many organizations have now realized that owning, operating and
managing their own data centers are a very expensive and
specialized task. They are increasingly coming to a decision that it
is better to rent than own.
