Keep Your Business Online No Matter What

Server colocation keeps your business running whatever happens. Servers and network equipment and often single instances that can fail – if a mission-critical device fails, it can take the whole network with it. Choosing a server colocation option gives you the best chance of remaining up and running through even the toughest circumstances.

With strong physical security and fire suppression technology, your colocation servers are kept as safe as possible. Nobody with malicious intentions can physically reach the servers, and the potential for damage is severely reduced. With the addition of strong network security, hackers and data thieves will be stopped in their tracks, and malware will be kept under control.

Cybercriminals are changing their tactics all the time, and new threats to data security are discovered all the time. Luckily, with server colocation, there’s no need for you to keep track of every change and every new threat that arises – we’ll take the stress out of keeping your data safe.

Built-in redundancy means that should something fail there is already something in place to take over from it. In a standard server, if the cooling system fails, the server may easily overheat and potentially suffer unrecoverable damage. With redundant cooling, if one part fails, the server remains fully cooled and no issue will arise.

Even our server internet connectivity includes redundancy to allow for almost any situation. When accessibility is important and your data is critical to keeping your business running, server colocation is the only option that can keep you online and active.

But what about power? Every computer and network device will need a power connection to function, and without an electrical connection, there is no way for a server to complete its job. Additionally, should the power suddenly be disconnected, data corruption and loss of work may occur. Data loss can often be more damaging than downtime, so protecting your servers against this eventuality is vitally important.

Colocation servers with uninterruptible power just keep on running. If there is a problem with obtaining power from the electrical grid, the system simply switches over to its own power reserves. Think of it as having a backup battery that can run your entire network.

With no danger of sudden power loss, your data is safe and your hardware is protected. Server colocation is the ideal choice for anyone who wants to protect their data, keep their network running, and extend the lifespan of their servers.

Five Levels of Security

Our server colocation facility is engineered with a minimum of five levels of security:

Level 1: Proximity card access with PIN is required to enter the building. You are not yet in the data center.

Level 2: Proximity card access with a Biometric (fingerprint) scan is required to enter the data center.

Level 3: All hardware is secured in a locked cage or steel mesh cabinets fitted with combination locks.

Level 4: Video surveillance cameras are placed throughout the facility.

Level 5: Staffed 24x7x365.

With 1-800 Office Solutions, putting your Mission Critical equipment in the appropriate environment has never been easier.
