Colocation and Colocated Servers
What exactly is Colocation?
When you are colocating you are purchasing your own server hardware, housing it in a data center complete with security, regulated power, and a dedicated Internet connection. The company that owns the data center will ensure that your servers remain secured against tampering while providing a clean and temperature regulated environment for your servers. All hardware is owned by you. Should a server fail, it will be up to you to ship the replacement hardware to the data center. The only exception to this rule is if you work out a management plan with the data center you are colocating with.
How do you begin Colocating?
In order to begin colocating servers you must start with the basics. Purchase the servers that you will be colocating to the data center. It is highly recommend for you to purchase a supply of replacement hardware for your servers. This way, should a piece of hardware fail, you will be able to immediately ship out the replacement hardware to the data center. The other option is to go to the data center and replace the hardware yourself should you live within the vicinity of the building. The next step is choosing a data center. Things to look for are reliability, support, network stability, location, and history. You want to ensure that your servers are going to be on a stable network with a robust backup solution in case of a power outage. It is also important that the support be top notch. They're housing servers that you have shelled out a large sum of money for, thus you want to ensure that when you need something from the data center they are able to provide you with service quickly and efficiently. The location of the data center is also important, especially if you have a target market. If you are trying to appeal to people on the east coast of the United States, then you would want a data center located somewhere on the east coast. Lastly, the history of the data center. Talk to people that house servers there, or have housed servers there in the past. Get an idea of what their experiences were like. If they left, be sure to ask why they left. Browsing web sites and forums online is also another great resource to find out more about a data center, what they offer and what they are like.
