Colocation

Colocation is the hosting of your data and servers within our secure, environmentally controlled data centre. We supply you with the specialist IT infrastructure necessary for mission-critical applications along with the skills and expertise to manage it effectively, allowing you to concentrate your IT resources on more important tasks. The level of service, resilience and scalability offered at DataBanx is represented through being a tier 3 facility. It is targeted towards developers of applications requiring high performance and maximum availability.

Greater security and resilience - The key advantage of hosting in a specialist data centre is the peace-of-mind that is offered from high levels of availability, security and back-up power which would not be present if hosting in-house. A huge investment has been made to ensure that all our customer's equipment is stored in a controlled environment and all our processes and procedures have been assessed and reach the prestigious BS7799 standards.

Save money - To set-up a comparable environment for your equipment in-house would be very costly and it is likely to be prohibitively expensive. Taking space in a purpose built facility like DataBanx is a more cost effective way of housing your servers in an secure, climate controlled environment.

Flexible and Scalable - Colocating with DataBanx means that you only need to make a small initial investment but you can increase your space as your requirements grow. It eliminates the risk of outgrowing any facilities you build in-house and you don't have to build extra space for future needs.

Maintain control - Outsourcing you servers doesn't mean losing control. With 24-hour access to your servers you can manage your equipment all of the time.

• Racks and Cages - We will supply industry-standard lockable racks and cages with all the necessary associated infrastructure so all you need to do is install your servers. Where a customer has specific requirements we will endeavour to meet those needs.

• Intelligent hands - Experienced network engineers can assist you with customer-led fault finding and basic server management.

• Hosting Suites - A suite provides you with your own mini-data centre without all the associated costs. The suite can be constructed to your requirements with physical partitioning and lockable cages.

• Connectivity - DataBanx is a neutral facility and bandwidth can be provided from diverse feeds and multiple providers. A growing number of Internet Service Providers offer bandwidth services for greater choice and resilience.

Colocation is available from part racks through to full suites designed to your required size and specification. All colocation comes supplied with UPS power and power points up to 8 amps per rack. All packages also come with an allocated amount of basic support which can be used as and when you require throughout the month.

All packages are quoted on a bespoke basis and we welcome the opportunity to talk to potential clients and to discuss your hosting requirements. Please feel free to call us on 08457 715 715.
