Colocation
Ghost IT provides Fully Managed Colocation services to Organisations that wish to relocate their existing physical servers in a highly secure and resilient UK-based Data Centre.
We provide a range of Data Centre facility specifications that are suitable for all budgets, from a small amount of rack space to multiple units.
Reduce your energy costs, free up additional office space and add an additional layer of security and resiliency by using our colocation services.
What is Colocation and how does it work?
Colocation is the practice of hosting your privately-owned physical servers in a highly secure Data Facility. Instead of hosting and maintaining your server on premise, you simply rent a dedicated space to host your server in a Data Centre.
In a nutshell, you rent the space from us and we’ll install and maintain your server hardware in our Data Centre.
Why Collocate your servers with Ghost IT?
Economy of Scale
Access higher levels of bandwidth at a much lower cost when compared to hosting on premise. In addition, you’ll also free up valuable office space and reduce your monthly energy and maintenance costs.
Improve Your Carbon Footprint
Our Data Centre facilities use the latest energy efficient green technology. Cold Aisle enclosures and free air cooling mean we’re over 40% greener than traditional data centres.
A State-of-the-art Infrastructure
Added redundancy and lightning fast, resilient connectivity ensures lower Network Latency, better reliability and greater protection from power outages.
