Published Saturday, August 2, 2008 by bloggerblognet84084 | E-mail this post

Organizations worldwide are finding that they cannot conduct efficient business without utilizing server colocation and infrastructure outsourcing. Server colocation has become one of the most rapidly adopted strategies for businesses of all sizes that are focused on:

* Guaranteeing network redundancy

* Enhancing their ability to serve their own business interests and customers online.

* Expertly maintaining and managing their own IT infrastructure.

* Protecting their business against unforeseen catastrophes that could result in bottom-line affecting damages such as downtime and data loss.

Online redundancy, flexibility, and security are more important today than ever. New technologies and advances in current technologies are continuously assimilating themselves into modern life, and all businesses have been forced to seriously consider the effectiveness and efficiency of their IT strategy. The efficiency of server colocation has enabled it to become an intuitive choice for many businesses.

A growing trend over the past decade has shown businesses transitioning away from maintaining their own servers in-house or renting space on a dedicated server. The reason for the trend is the increase in IT requirements and the relative decrease in the cost of owning server hardware. This has led to a shift in thinking that is guiding businesses towards the benefits of server colocation.
