Not familiar with colocation? No worries. In short, data center colocation (also referred to as co-location or collocation) is when organizations elect to utilize a third party data center to house a portion or the vast majority of their IT infrastructure. Building or expanding a data center requires the investment of capital plus the commitment to provide ongoing financial and operational resources to manage the data center infrastructure (electrical distribution, chillers, computer room air condition, uninterruptible power supplies, etc.). Instead, many companies opt to turn to public data centers and leverage shared core data center infrastructure (listed above) while maintaining control of their data center equipment itself (servers, routers, switches, firewalls, storage, etc.).
