Server Collocation Services
What is Collocation?
Colocation allows you to place your server machine in someone else's rack and share their bandwidth as your own. It generally costs more than standard Web hosting, but less than a comparable amount of bandwidth into your place of business.
IOSi offers Unmanaged& Managed Collocation Packages:
Managed Colocation
Managed collocation is often referred to as dedicated server rentals. When using this form of service, IOSi will provide a dedicated server that is preconfigured to your specifications with selected software applications on it that your company can use. In addition to this, IOSi is responsible for providing any software upgrades to the provided applications on the system and general maintenance such as reboots, hardware issues and any backups they may include.
This level of service is particularly useful to those individuals who are not very technically inclined or do not have the time or resources to handle the more mundane troubleshooting and maintenance. Unmanaged:
If the technical requirements of running the server require applications that are not supported by our engineering team or you want to have more control over the configuration and use of the server, unmanaged collocation is typically the best choice. This is very different from the managed services though. Customers are required to provide their own hardware and manage all of the hardware and software on their own. This allows for much greater flexibility in what can be done but has the drawback of more work by you, the customer. |
