From a bare structure to a fully equipped building, and anything in between, we help you pick. We also help you choose from the following options:
• A do-it-yourself location
• A data-neutral full service colocation provider, who subleases colocation-only space from carrier-neutral data centers
• A carrier-neutral colocation provider, with access to several wideband providers
• A dedicated colocation provider with access to one provider only
We spend time on these details, working carefully between provider and client:
• Security guard?
• Visitors requiring escort?
• Restricted access?
• Type of firewalls, VPN, PCI compliance
• Support to facility (phone, email, server monitoring)
• Incident response (incident forensics, disaster recovery plans)
• Regulated A/C and auto fire suppression
Nowadays, having access to power can no longer be taken for granted, anywhere in the world. And your bandwidth needs vary greatly, and are evolving. You get to choose how much processing power and how much bandwidth you require, and the redundancy you want for each. Global-connexion takes the mystery out of the following offerings:
• Clean reliable power:
o AC/DC distribution
o UPS and generator backup
o Power density up to 25 KWs per cabinet
• Bandwidth infrastructure:
o High-speed Internet connection
o Dedicated bandwidth
o Multiple carriers with redundant fiber sources
o Carrier neutral access
Once you are set up with your colocation presence, Global-connexion is capable of providing as much or as little engineering support as you require to make certain things are running at their optimum for your business needs. We can support your IT staff or we can BE your IT staff.
You no longer have to research, test and choose new hardware and software every five years, the cost of which can be astronomical. The job of hardware upgrades now belongs to the colocation provider. Your job, and Global-connexion helps you, is to pick the right one.
• Your colocation agreement: This document must be examined very carefully. It should specify the amount and location of the space to be licensed. It should clearly list the services that the colocation site will provide. We ensure that the final agreement is in your best interests and nothing less.
• Making the move: On-site engineers normally do the installation but we can help you supervise. We can be your 24/7 IT consultants, on the ground or the sidelines, working directly with your colocation provider or advising you on what to do.
• Switching colocation providers: We can help, so your next move is the right one.
