2 SUMMARY COLOCATION PROVIDERS ARE EVERYWHERE. With so many to choose from, how do you know which one is right for your business? Today, more than ever, it s important to look below the surface and carefully evaluate the key components of your colocation provider s offering. There are many reasons why a business would select a colocation facility over building its own data center. Between management, monitoring, and automation tools cost is definitely at the front of the line. Aside from cost, colocation facilities are your direct connect link to cloud service providers. Acting as a conduit to your cloud provider, colocation services have increased in popularity for organizations that don t have enough IT staff or the capital to keep up with it. This ebook can be used as a guide to help IT Managers and other decision-makers identify the components of colocation services for their business when reviewing their data solution strategies. It s important to look below the surface and carefully evaluate the key components of your colocation provider s offering. NETWORKS MASSIVE Enterprise-Class Data Transport Solutions

3 TABLE OF CONTENTS Common Complications of Data Growth Merging Budget With Solutions Build Versus Lease 7 Components of Colocation Colocation: Your Cloud Conduit Conclusion

4 DATA GROWTH: 3 COMMON COMPLICATIONS HOW IT DEPARTMENTS KEEP UP.

5 DATA GROWTH: 3 COMMON COMPLICATIONS HOW IT DEPARTMENTS KEEP UP. 3 COMMON PROBLEMS 1. Data is easily compromised 2. Paying to manage data you should delete. 3. User access to company data UNSTRUCTURED DATA CAN POSE A SERIOUS HURDLE. Not only is it an ongoing battle to support, it s also difficult to simultaneously protect vital company assets. 90% Of the world s data was created in the last 2 years. On average a company s data grows at a 35% rate per year. IDG estimates that today s employees are losing up to 20% of their daily productivity locating stored information, while, Gartner has long claimed that explosive data growth is causing IT to overhaul previous methods for data management.

6 IT BUDGET VS PERFORMANCE MERGING YOUR IT BUDGET WITH A COST EFFECTIVE BUT PERFORMANCE EFFICIENT SOLUTION.

7 IT BUDGET VS PERFORMANCE MERGING YOUR IT BUDGET WITH A COST EFFECTIVE BUT PERFORMANCE EFFICIENT SOLUTION. If you re one of the many businesses on the verge of making the switch, I m guessing you re price shopping. For most IT department heads, working within a set budget can be accomplished quickly. The short end of the stick with this process is that you miss out on the bigger goal for your business, like security, hardware, accessibility, connectivity, and support. All of which are essential when considering colocation services. Additional cornerstone items to consider are scalability, expertise, and uptime SLAs. SECURITY Access to the data center should be controlled and monitored using security access cards, traps, visual identification checkpoints, and biometric fingerprint scanning. Additionally, the facility should be staffed 24 7 with security to monitor the physical entire facility. According to IDG, 41% of organizations stated that they plan to move their entire data center within a multi-tenant environment (also called a colocation facility) in the next 12 months. EXPERTISE In the event of a problem, technical support should be available to you via or phone at all times; twenty-four hours, seven days a week, all year round. UPTIME SLAS Downtime is more expensive than ever, both regarding revenue and reputation. Colocation providers offer built-in redundancies across systems and applications ensuring 100% uptime SLAs.

8 BUILD VS LEASE TO COLO OR TO NOT COLO?

9 BUILD VS LEASE TO COLO OR TO NOT COLO? BUILD VERSUS LEASE: SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPARISON There are many reasons why a business would select a colocation facility over building its own data center. Between management, monitoring, and automation tools cost is definitely at the front of the line. As a result, colos work well with cloud service providers. In turn, their popularity has expanded to organizations that don t have enough IT staff or the capital to keep up with it. Colocation offers scalability, security, and high uptime. SCALABILITY Scalability in colocation terms means that as your infrastructure requirements grow, your facilities grow, too. Facilities with high-density capability offer advanced connectivity and high-performance options, on demand. Carrier-Neutral facilities can connect your infrastructure to multiple third-party carriers, enhancing global expansion opportunities and site-to-site connectivity improvement for geographically dispersed locations. 35% A 35 percent data growth rate per year is not uncommon, and this sort of spike requires an organization to double on-premises storage over a threeyear period.

10 SECURITY With data security on the rise, your colocation facility security should be no different. Many colocation facilities have strict security measures in place. From on-site security personnel to 24/7 facility video surveillance inside and outside the data center, the cabinets and cages within a facility are monitored through password-protected devices Monitoring. Most organizations don t have the resources to have a staff of dedicated data center professionals available 24/7/365 like Colocation centers do. HIGH UPTIME Uptime matters. Facilities offering high redundancy ensure availability to your business applications. Companies seeking disaster recovery strategies can rely on colocation facilities for risk mitigation that are not typically available to on-premises server rooms. 99% Everyone knows technology is fallible and at some point or another, downtime will occur. However, with an outsourced Colocation center, countless safeguards are in place to prevent that including backing up your data.

11 COLOCATION THE 7 COMPONENTS OF COLOCATION TO BE AWARE OF.

12 COLOCATION THE 7 COMPONENTS OF COLOCATION TO BE AWARE OF Colocation providers are everywhere. Today, more than ever, it s important to look below the surface and carefully evaluate the key components of your colocation provider s offering. There are many reasons why a business would select a colocation facility over building its own data center. Between management, monitoring, and automation tools cost is definitely at the front of the line. To help, we ve put together a 7-step checklist that you can use to confirm you re making the right choice. With so many to choose from, how do you know which one is right for your business? With so many to choose from, how do you know which one is right for your business? 1. IS THE PROVIDER SCALABLE? Scalability in colocation terms means that as your business data requirements grow, your facility infrastructure capacity grows, too. 2. DOES THE FACILITY HAVE HIGH-DENSITY CAPABILITY? Facilities with high-density capability offer advanced connectivity and highperformance options, on demand. 3. WHAT KIND OF SECURITY DOES THE PROVIDER OFFER? With data security on the rise, your colocation facility security should be no different.

13 4. UPTIME MATTERS. HOW DOES THE PROVIDER ENSURE THIS? Facilities offering high redundancy ensure availability to your business applications. 5. IS NOC SUPPORT INCLUDED? Support should be included not an additional fee. In the event of a problem, technical support should be available to you via or phone at all times. 6. DOES YOUR PROVIDER DELIVER DATA CENTER BANDWIDTH TO YOUR OFFICE? All offices, even your remote locations, should receive data center bandwidth. 7. CAN YOU CONNECT YOUR RACK TO LAYER 2 PRIVATE CONNECTIONS? Layer 2 private connections ensure your business-critical data is kept off the public Internet. Businesses can reduce their security breaches while handling sensitive data if they have a private and direct access to cloud services.

14 COLOCATION YOUR CLOUD CONDUIT.

15 COLOCATION YOUR CLOUD CONDUIT. Utilizing colocation as a conduit, you can directly connect to your businesses cloud services enabling a reliable source for sharing data during heavy congestion and outages. Additionally, IT managers will have more control over the routes through which data is transferred. Direct cloud access gives companies more flexibility in their network, which is appropriately managed. The result of flexible network saves the company from losing revenue by network breach if you have direct access from your cloud-hosting providers. Companies usually segment their sensitive data when sending it through private connections near cloud services. A company can reduce their cost of network bandwidth and rely on local network peers that are cost-effective when cloud-based services provide you with direct access. CONNECTIVITY TO THE CLOUD High Performance Secure Risk Mitigation Cost Effective Predictable Service

16 CONCLUSION Aside from cost, colocation facilities are your direct connect link to cloud service providers. Acting as a conduit to your cloud provider, colocation services help your IT staff manage your company s vital assets. Additionally, Colocation providers give businesses the option to keep their data secure and to store it in their facilities for a low cost.
