Also spelled Collocation and Co-location.
Colocation is an outsourcing solution where theclient brings their equipment a Data Center and uses the facilities that,typically include; network, electricity, bandwidth (Internet connectivity), and cabinet space. The Client or the center can be the administrator of this equipment.

Colocation saves you time
and the expense of building and maintaining a network for your servers. You get carrier class connectivity, atmospheric controls, uninterrupted power and other options at a low cost. Please also check out the dictionary term of colocation.

Rack Space
Your server will be mounted in the rack or a locking cabinet with rack rails. A rack is a metal framework that houses electronic equipment. The space used by your servers is measured in Rack Units (RU or "U-Space"). This is the unit of measurement used for defining the vertical space used. A 'U' is equivalent to 1.75 inches (4.45cm). Horizontal dimension is a standard of 19 inches (48.2cm). We can accomadate tower servers also. Call for information.

1U Server= 1.75" of Vertical Rack Space
2U = 3.5" of Vertical Rack Space
4U = 7.0" of Vertical Rack Space
A full rack can contains 40 to 42U
1/4 Rack=10U (10 servers of 1U)
Half rack =20 U (20 Servers of 1U)

Predictable Lower Cost
Save thousands on deployment capital costs. Reduce monthly costs of real estate (space), air conditioning, electricity, bandwidth and security. Ongoing costs are predefined and easy to budget for. Month to month agreements are available.

Always connected
High speed Internet bandwidth connections via multiple carriers to prevent costly downtime. Guaranteed power availablity incorporating UPS and batteries for short term combined with an onsite diesel prime source generator for extended outages.

Tech support before you need it
All services can be monitored by network engineers 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year.

Physical
Our Data Center is secure but does not prevent you from access when you need it. Access is controled and recorded. CCTV cameras are also used. The data center has disaster-resistant server rooms. Our Data Centers are located in a geographically secure location free from hurricanes, floods, earthquakes and tsunamis. Arizona is a great place to put your data.

Network
Enjoy a full-featured firewall that combines the technologies of Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, Intrusion Prevention Service (IPS), Web Content Filtering, deep packet inspection, circuit filters, and application proxies. We can implement access control using technology based on stateful packet inspection to deliver ICSA certified firewall security that delivers high performance security for demanding environments. You have options to filter out any traffic which you do not want coming to your machine. Who is visiting my server right now? What protocol are they using? These questions can be answered upon request. Our Internet's security analysis team has the capabilities to troubleshoot you’re the Internet connections in real time. This gives you a way to follow detailed analysis of who is connecting to your server. Learn what ports they are connecting to, what type of packets are being sent to and from your server and if these packets are legitimate traffic.

Classifications and Standards
Facilities are classified by Tiers I – Basic: 99.671% Availability, Tier 2 – Redundant Components: 99.741% Availability, Tier 3 – Concurrently Maintainable: 99.982%, Tier 4 – Fault Tolerant: 99.995% Availability.
SAS 70 is an acronym for Statement on Auditing Standard 70; it was developed and is maintained by the AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants). Specifically, SAS 70 is a "Report on the Processing of Transactions by Service Organizations" where professional standards are set up for a service auditor that audits and assesses internal controls of a service organization. At the end of the audit, the service auditor issues an important report called the "Service Auditor's Report".
