As businesses expand, the demand for availability, resources and bandwidth increases; typically leading to spiralling expenditure on infrastructure, security and connectivity. Although moving your IT Services out of house can be a daunting prospect, Colocation offers a secure, high availability, cost effective solution, where resources are readily available, supported by a business-class Service Level Agreement.

Colocation is particularly suitable for organisations who want to maintain complete control of their hardware and applications without the challenges associated with maintaining their own servers on-site. By locating their servers off-site in a highly secure, controlled and continuously monitored environment, clients are able to maintain a rigorous disaster recovery strategy. Clients are also better able to simplify the provision of network links to regional offices and remote users.Providing an optimal server environment in-house can be a costly exercise in terms of infrastructure, monitoring and resource management.
 Colocation with Ancar B By locating your servers in the Ancar B Technologies Data Centre, client equipment is protected by rigorous security measures including, 24/7 security, CCTV and controlled access. The server environments are serviced with dry cool air, constant clean filtered power supply and heavily earthed network connections. The physical housings are protected from fire by managed and automated extinguishing systems. Managed or Unmanaged?For clients requiring their own secure space and equipment, we can provide your own rack. Unmanaged racks start at 11U (quarter-cab) dimensions. Around the clock access is provided, along with remote assistance if the client is unable to visit the Data Centre. However, for clients who do not want the distraction of looking after their own kit, Ancar B recommend Managed Colocation. Managed Colocation provides clients with access to Cisco and Microsoft Certified Engineers, enabling them to benefit from increased technical knowledge and engineer availability. |
A Managed Colocation solution houses your equipment in our own rack. As a result, rack space starts at just 1U, offering a significant reduction in price for smaller installations compared to the Unmanaged alternative. Around the clock access can be provided to clients, but this is shadowed by our own engineers.
