Co-Location
A Co-Location can be a great option for companies looking to minimize cost and complex technical challenges because they provide the space, power and security, while safely housing the necessary equipment that drives your organization behind-the-scenes. GCG can assist in choosing the best plan of action when it comes to maintaining servers, storage and your overall network.

Benefits of Co-Location:
Reduced Latency: By co-locating data, organizations can minimize latency as information is physically stored closer to end-users or applications that need it, which can result in improved data access and performance.*
Improved Data Security: Facilities applying Co-Location typically have robust security measures in place, such as 24/7 monitoring, access controls, redundant power and cooling systems. These measures help ensure the physical security of data and protects it from unauthorized access or theft.
*
Cost & Efficiency Savings: Reducing Capital Expenditure enables you to distribute the expenses of facility maintenance, security, and infrastructure among multiple tenants, thereby capitalizing on economies of scale. By opting for a co-location facility, you avoid the costly endeavor of constructing and up-keeping a data center. These facilities often provide economies of scale, granting organizations the opportunity to leverage shared resources and enjoy diminished operational expenses.
*
Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity: In the case of a natural disaster or other unexpected events, data stored in a Co-Location facility can quickly and easily be obtained, helping minimize downtime and data loss.
*
Uninterrupted Power Supply: Power outages can be the bane of any organization's existence, especially if they lead to costly downtime. Co-location facilities prioritize uninterrupted power supply by employing backup generators and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems. So even if a power outage strikes, your servers will continue to operate.
*
Physical Security Measures: Co-location facilities make security a priority by using surveillance cameras, biometric access controls, and 24/7 on-site personnel. Servers are protected 365 days a year ensuring they remain safe from any outer malicious intentions.
*
Scalability and Flexibility: Co-location facilities are designed to accommodate the growth and changing needs of organizations. By co-locating data, response to schedule or unexpected challenges are executed and managed with confidence.
