What is Colocation ?

Wednesday, September 30, 2009 by Brandon Ring
 Colocation  is where  servers are stored in a data center.  The major difference is that instead of being leased, the servers are actually owned by the customers.  Whereas a dedicated or managed host generally maintains the server, a colocation provider gives you access to the facility and allows you to manage your own hardware.  The similarities include network connectivity, backup power sources and physical security.  The greatest advantage of colocation is that it allows businesses to get the best of their servers who otherwise could not do so on their own.  LightBound has one of  Indiana's premier Data Centers and can also offer Data Disaster Recovery plans and Business Continuity advise..
