Server colocation
Host your IT servers in a completely secure manner and with optimal connectivity
Challenges
Today, no company, institution or administration can do without IT servers. These powerful computers not only communicate with other servers by sending all kinds of information and software - above all, they can also execute numerous complex applications and tasks simultaneously. According to its size and requirements, an institution will have one or several servers. In the latter case, it will link them together via a dedicated network. Once everything has been configured, some or all of the servers will then be connected to the internet.
As well as a high-performance network connection with a high-quality bandwidth, such equipment also requires a dedicated space in a suitable location that is not exposed to humidity or heat, with a guaranteed uninterrupted electricity supply, high-performance fire protection, etc. So many technical constraints and investments that are very expensive to install and maintain, particularly for small institutions.
