White Paper: Colocation Benefits for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses
Outsourcing your Data Center Needs for Peace of Mind and Continuous Growth
This colocation white paper helps small and medium-sized businesses see the advantages of colocation services. It explains how smaller companies can use colocation today to save time, money, and effort.
In the digital economy, profitability comes from making clever use of data. Bring your own device (BYOD) culture, SaaS (Software as a Service), and fast-growing data all require reliable IT infrastructure. A minor IT mishap can disrupt operations, so a single outage can cost you customers and hurt the bottom line. Large corporations enjoy economies of scale, but smaller enterprises struggle to keep up with rising IT costs. SMEs (small- and medium-sized enterprises) rarely have the budget to hire top IT talent or buy the latest technology. Fortunately, there is a solution. SMEs that want corporate-style infrastructure on an SME budget can turn to data center colocation.
Why colocation makes sense for a growing business
A server room in the back office looks cheap at first. It still needs backup power, cooling, a fast connection, and someone who can respond at 2 a.m. A colocation data center already has all of that. You keep ownership of your servers, and the provider supplies the space, power, cooling, connectivity, and physical security. As a result, you pay for the service you use instead of building it yourself.
Colocation also helps when your business grows, because you can add rack space without rebuilding an office. It also makes outage planning easier. For a framework, see the NIST contingency planning guide.
