FAQ

What are Colocation Facilities and how can it help me?

Colocation facilities provide space, power, cooling, and physical security for the server, storage, and networking equipment of other firms—and connect them to a variety of telecommunications and network service providers—with a minimum of cost and complexity. Colocation allows companies to focus their IT staff on the actual work being done, instead of the logistical support needs which underlie the work.Some of the services that Colocation facilities provide include::

  • lockable rack cabinets or cages,
  • power in a variety of formats, AC and DC,
  • network connectivity—either in a 'house blend', where the colo provider is a customer of carriers, and connects their clients to their own router for access to multiple carriers, or as direct 'cross-connect' access to the routers of the carriers themselves, or both,
  • cooling,
  • physical security (including video surveillance, biometric and badge access, logging, and the like), and
  • real-time live monitoring of all these functions for failures.
They also provide redundant systems for, usually, all of these features, to mitigate the problems when each inevitably fails. Among the economies of scale which result from grouping many small-to-mid-sized customers together in one facility are included:
  • higher reliability due to redundant systems
  • 24/7 monitoring by engineers
  • lower network latency and higher bandwidth at a lower cost
  • specialist staff, like network and facilities engineers, which would not be cost effective for any single client to keep on the payroll.
Why would I need IT Managed Services?

IT Managed Services encompass all of the technology and facility-related components or activities that support the projects and operation of your business, which includes an environment that provides processing, storage, networking, management and the distribution of data for your enterprise.


I hear about Cloud Computing all the time, but what is it?

Cloud computing allows companies to avoid upfront infrastructure costs, and focus on projects that differentiate their businesses instead of on infrastructure. Cloud computing allows enterprises to get their applications up and running faster, with improved manageability and less maintenance, and enables IT to more rapidly adjust resources to meet fluctuating and unpredictable business demand and typically use a "pay as you go" model. 

What is different in your Digital Image Record Storage products?

Our Digital Image Record Storage products are tailored to the way you do business. It securely and cost-effectively stores digital copies of your business documents and data in a variety of formats and features advanced search tools and rapid retrieval capabilities that allow for quick, 24/7 access to your records. When combined with Cloud Computing technology, we ensure that digital records are replicated, secure, and protected. Most importantly, the records are always accessible. This is perfect for medical records or health care providers. Customers pay a subscription fee to replicate and access their digital medical records, making medical records archiving a manageable, predictable operating expense. In addition to eliminating upfront storage capital purchases, you no longer have to worry about complex storage and data protection operations and instead re-purpose your capital investment.

How does Build-to–Suit work?

We leverage our real estate department, design and our construction expertise and develop the design and construction for your businesses.  In this way our development services ensure that your newly constructed data center will meet your businesses' needs.   By bridging the gap between developer, DesignBuild and users, our developer service pay an extremely important role in controlling unnecessary expenses and improving efficiency and effectiveness. We fund, arrange, structure and close each data center build-to-suit transaction per every client’s special requirements. This provides a win-win situation for the tenant who leases the finished data center asset, allowing them full operational control of a facility tailored to its needs and for the developer who receives construction and permanent financing to fund the project.  We provide build-to-suit financing or lease programs for the clients data center needs which is different than other types of financing.
