Build Your Own Business Case in Minutes

The cost of constructing and managing a data center can be daunting, with a 4,000 square foot data center costing an average of more than $10 million to build, along with the associated cooling, power and other requirements. This trend is but one reason that companies of all sizes, across different verticals, have turned to colocation providers to house their mission-critical IT assets.

However, the benefits of colocation are more than just financial. The right colocation provider will enable you to meet your requirements across the spectrum – from cost savings to expanding your customer base to ensuring that you have a scalable space to meet your growing IT requirements.

My key business goals are:

Strategic investment in IT resources to drive revenue

When it comes to investing of IT resources, how you invest is as least as important as how much. From a colocation perspective, ensuring maximum ROI can be complicated, with variables that include proximity, network choice and scalability. Choosing the right colocation provider that meets your diverse requirements and has the ability to evolve with your business, can enable you to concentrate your key IT personnel on achieving core business goals.

Reducing Costs

Colocation has been cited as being 1/20th as expensive as running a similar environment in-house.** One of the key reasons for this cost savings lies in its inherent efficiency. Colocation offers customizable services to ensure that companies are getting exactly what they need. Thus, networks, bandwidth, redundancy and connectivity become less expensive, and offer the additional benefit of being more reliable than on-site, owner-operated facilities.**

Scalable solution that evolves with my business

To stay ahead of the curve, especially in the fast-moving financial services sector, having a solution that can evolve with changing business needs, is critical. Indeed, a recent study by The TABB Group, found that “space in the data center” to expand was the key driver in choosing a data center (33% of respondents).**

Low-latency connectivity

In an industry where every millisecond counts, it has been cited that the three most important issues for delivery of a financial service are colocation, colocation, colocation. But low-latency is more than just about speed, it is about proximity- being close to the right services, customers, partners, networks and exchanges. Studies have found that proximity to the local exchange is considered to be one of the most important factors when selecting a data center, according to 48 percent of those surveyed.***
