How Does Server Colocation Hosting Work ?

Maintaining and managing servers begins by ensuring the environment allows them to work at full capacity. However, this is the main problem businesses with “server closets” deal with. If companies are incapable of taking on such responsibilities on-premises, they will search for a data center that offers colocation services.

Colocation as a service works for businesses who already own hardware and software, but are unable to provide the conditions to store them. The clients, therefore, lease space from their service providers who offer housing for hardware, as well as environmental management.

Clients move their hardware to a data center, set up, and configure their servers. There is no physical contact between the provider and the clients’ hardware unless they specifically request additional assistance known as remote hands.

While the hardware is hosted, the data center assumes all responsibility for environmental management, such as cooling, a reliable power supply, on-premises security, and protection against natural disasters.


The hosting company’s responsibilities typically include:

Security
The hosting company secures and authorizes access to the physical location. The security measures include installing equipment such as cameras, biometric locks, and identification for any personnel onsite. Clients are responsible for securing their servers against cyber-attacks. The provider ensures no one without authorization can come close to the hardware.

Power
The data center is responsible for electricity and any other utilities required by the servers. This also includes energy backups, such as generators, in case of a power outage. Getting and using power efficiently is an essential component. Data centers can provide a power supply infrastructure that guarantees the highest uptime.

Cooling
Servers and network equipment generate a considerable amount of heat. Hosts provide advanced redundant cooling systems, so servers run optimally. Proper cooling can prevent damage and extends the life of your hardware.

Top Reasons Why Businesses Choose Colocation - Data First

While choosing such a strategy, it is also important to focus on support, costs, security controls and uptime. While it sounds nearly impossible to satisfy all of these requirements and simultaneously watch your business flourish, colocation services may offer a feasible solution.

Colocation, often referred to as colo, entails the installation of your business servers in an offsite managed data center. Colocation services offer several benefits.. 

• Lowering power costs generated by servers and cooling;
• 24/7 support from experts;
• Optimizing space in your office by removing a significant portion of your IT equipment;
• Improving physical security
• Providing guaranteed uptime

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF VPS HOSTING IN INDIA

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is an isolated virtual machine on a physical server. It is sold as a service by an Internet hosting provider. There can be dozens of VPSes created on a single physical server, depending on the specifications of the physical server. A VPS has its own IP address and runs its own operating system (OS). And, customers usually have superuser-level access (root access), to that virtual machine. So that they can install any software that runs on that OS. VPS hosting in India is a way to build a website on a server that offers more power, security and stability.

In traditional shared hosting, if one of the websites on the server suddenly requires a lot of resources. Or, is somehow compromised, the other sites on the server will likely be affected by much slower load speeds, or worse. Websites hosted on a VPS are rarely affected by such occurrences. Because VPSes are fully isolated environments and don’t share resources in the same way. A VPS lives in a partitioned server with its own dedicated tools. This means a VPS is backed up by its own RAM, storage and operating system.

VPS hosts usually offer more dedicated management of their servers as well. For companies offering eCommerce, CRM, ERP, CMS, there can be peace of mind knowing that the servers are taken care of so they can focus on selling their products. This is especially true for fully-managed VPS hosting, where most, if not all server admin work is done by the hosting provider, either for free or for an additional cost.

A good VPS host should offer a minimum of 100GB of storage, 4GB of RAM and more than enough monthly data transfers. ADNservers is offering different types of VPS hosting packages ranged from BDT 2,376 to BDT 9,328 based on storage, RAM and many more facilities. The price will vary for VPS plans with SSD Disk and VPS plans with SATA Disk. As complementary, from ADNservers virtual private server, you will get:

24/7 monitoring
Fully managed
Charge Free installation
Provision free upgrade and more

IT Network Management and Services

Network management is the process of administering and managing computer networks. Services provided by this discipline include fault analysis, performance management, provisioning of networks and maintaining the quality of service. NMS software can be installed either on premises on a dedicated server and managed on site, or accessed as a service, where the vendor supplies the tools the enterprise uses to administer and monitor its network. NMS software can manage a wide variety of network components, manufactured by multiple vendors.

Early versions of NMS software sometimes worked only with hardware manufactured by the same vendor, but those limitations have largely disappeared as networks have migrated to architectures based on equipment from multiple suppliers. On-premises NMS installation can allow for better control and customization of the software to meet specific goals. Managing the software internally can require additional IT staff and resources, however, and as the software ages, it will be the company's responsibility to upgrade it or replace it.

Why Colocation Services are Required

What it is: Colocation is the practise of hosting servers, storage, firewalls and other internet related hardware from multiple customers in a single Data Centre. While using colocation services at a datacenter are becoming more common every day, many businesses still choose to host their services in-house. Collocation offers you business continuity, scalability and performance a fraction of the cost that it would take to achieve anything close in your own micro Data Centre. 

Reasons to use Colocation services:

·         The biggest advantage of colocation is the cost for bandwidth.

·         Colocation facilities have better outage protection.

·        Colocation facilities are built to specific specifications and standards to meet the needs of today’s high-tech hardware.

·         Datacenters are built with redundancy in mind. This means that most centers have N+ 1 redundancy built into the key infrastructure like power, cooling, bandwidth, and networking. At many standard office locations it may not even be possible to implement this type of redundancy, and when it is the costs can be extremely high.

• Faster, more reliable and cheaper bandwidth
• Real time monitoring 24/7 by engineers
• Mitigation of DDoS attacks and other network issues
• Better efficiency in cooling and power – better for the environment
• Diverse power, backup UPS systems and diesel generators
• More secure (CCTV, man traps security doors, access ID’s)
• Advanced fire detection and control that doesn’t damage servers if it’s triggered
• Operational (OPEX) cost rather than all up front (CAPEX)
• No need to turn servers off an move them if your business moves

Get the Pool Advantage… Cloud Computing

Be it for infrastructure, operating system, storage or applications, cloud computing will prove to be huge advantage for small enterprises that do not have the sufficient resources or the manpower to set up and manage an in-house IT infrastructure.

Cloud computing encompasses different types of computing including:

• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
• Software as a Service (SaaS)
• Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Data Center in India operates on the concept of ‘Cloud Computing’ helping IT companies leverage best the pool advantage.
