IaaS / Colocation
Deploy workloads in dedicated, compliance-certified hosting environments that give you the performance and control of on-premises infrastructure with the flexibility of a managed service.
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provides organizations with virtualized compute, storage, and networking resources on demand — without the capital cost of owning physical hardware. Unlike public cloud, dedicated IaaS provides single-tenant environments where resources are not shared with other organizations, delivering predictable performance for workloads that cannot tolerate the variability of shared public cloud environments.
Colocation (colo) refers to placing organization-owned servers and networking equipment in a third-party data center facility. Colo providers supply the physical space, power, cooling, and physical security — while the organization maintains ownership and control of the equipment. Carrier-neutral colocation facilities like Equinix and Flexential provide direct access to hundreds of network providers and cloud on-ramps, making them strategic interconnection hubs for hybrid infrastructure.
For organizations navigating the decision between public cloud, private IaaS, and colocation, the right answer is rarely one or the other. Hybrid infrastructure strategies — combining public cloud for elastic workloads, dedicated IaaS for performance-sensitive applications, and colocation for strategic interconnection — deliver the best balance of cost, performance, and control.
Compliance-Driven Hosting
Host sensitive workloads in SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and PCI-DSS certified data center environments with independent audit trails.
Data Sovereignty
Maintain physical control and geographic specificity for data that cannot be stored in shared cloud environments due to regulatory requirements.
Disaster Recovery Colocation
Establish a geographically separated secondary site with dedicated infrastructure for business continuity and disaster recovery.
Cloud Direct Connect Hub
Use carrier-neutral colo facilities as an interconnection point for private connectivity to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and network providers.
Data Center Exit Strategy
Migrate from aging company-owned data centers to colocation as leases expire, hardware ages out, or facilities become cost-inefficient to operate.
Edge Compute Deployment
Deploy compute at the network edge in carrier-neutral facilities for latency-sensitive applications that cannot tolerate centralized cloud round trips.
