Co-location services allow customers to rent physical
space in a data centre premises. They allow large
enterprises to save money and focus on their core
activities by hosting some or all of their IT infrastructure
offsite instead of building and maintaining their own data
centers.
Building a Data Centre can be an expensive proposition
requiring large capital investment and ongoing
maintenance costs. With Pacifc Controls’ co-location
services, the company can lease Data Centre space
and convert capital expenditure (CAPEX) to operating
expenditure (OPEX) with predictable monthly fees.
The service brings added fexibility to IT infrastructure.
Customers can choose to co-locate only a part of their IT
environment, such as mission critical data and business
applications, or applications that need more bandwidth
than is readily available at the customer’s premises.
The solution is fexible and scalable and provides complete
control over the company’s co-location needs because
it can purchase the amount of space that it needs today
and scale it as the business grows without having to make
additional capital investment. Company IT requirements
can be upgraded dynamically as business needs change.
This reduces time to market which is imperative in today’s
fast changing business environment.
Colocation saves money on utility bills and operating
costs. Data centers have high power and cooling
requirements which lead to high capital costs and high
operating expenses. If the company data centre is not
fully utilized, power, and consequently money, is wasted
on powering unused servers and cooling the building.
Customers can pay only for the WAN bandwidth that they
use because Pacifc Controls data centre has high speed
redundant network bandwidth, attractively packaged to
cater to varying customer requirements.
