What Is Data Centre Colocation?

Colocation places customer-owned equipment in a specialist data-centre facility. The provider supplies the environment, while responsibilities for hardware and management depend on the service arrangement.

What the facility provides

Core considerations include resilient power, cooling, physical security, space and access to connectivity. Exact specifications should be confirmed for the chosen facility.

What customers should assess

Review rack or space requirements, power draw, remote-hands needs, access procedures, carrier options, cross-connects and business-continuity objectives.

Location and network design

Facility choice should reflect latency, staff access, resilience and interconnection needs. Exascale offers options at Wolverhampton and Telford, and at Telehouse North and West in London.
