Colocation, Data Center, Cloud – Where to Start.
The last few years have reignited the discussion about whether your business should house its servers and applications internally. This includes just about everything from email, accounting, and ERP software.
With the reduction in costs for high speed internet and the availability of options to complement multiple internet connections, it provides the option to move your hardware to a space off site, or just rent hardware rather than own it. Storage costs are at an all time low, and the ability to ramp up storage needs as needed make co-location an attractive option.
Most everyone knows about Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud. But there are many options including local and regional companies providing these services which may be a better answer for companies who are first entering in to these arrangements. One such company we have partnered with is Cologix, which has facilities in New Jersey as well as other regional locations.
If you have an interest in exploring either collocating your own IT equipment or are looking to utilize shared services for physical or virtual equipment please contact the office for more information or visit www.cologix.com.
