More Information About Colocation Services

Colocation services are offered by data centers equipped and configured to allow secure client access to private servers. Colocation services include leasing server cabinets and cages, connecting to the ISP's network and physical infrastructure, and monitoring server status. Each cabinet and cage is securely locked and inaccessible to other colocation clients. Hardware is administered by the client without any ISP involvement, except manual server restarts upon request. Some ISPs offer additional professional services as well.

Colocation services let clients take advantage of superior data center infrastructure, while maintaining control over their servers. The benefits to colocation customers include environmental control (constant temperature and humidity maintenance, particulates filtration), fire suppression systems, redundant power sources and UPS backup, large capacity of multi-homed quality bandwidth, round the clock physical security (card entry, video monitoring of the facilities), and available monitoring and technical services such as central data storage, backups, firewall, DDoS attack mitigation and more.

Using colocation services is an effective way to obtain business continuity, scalability, and minimal network latency, at a fraction of the cost it takes to accomplish the same in a private data center, while maintaining complete control over the physical server, the operating system and the applications.

PEER 1 offers colocation services at state-of-the-art facilities in eight major city centers across the US and Canada, including Vancouver, Toronto, San Jose, Los Angeles, New York, and Miami.
