Colo Advisor, LLC

Description

Check with your legal and finance teams to determine if your facility needs to be in a certain locale and if you require any 3rd party certifications of the facility you plan to colocate at. SSAE 16 and PCI are examples of the types of certifications a datacenter may have. If you are a service provider, your clients may have legal restrictions on their data being stored outside the country. If you are mainly hosting internal applications your requirements may not be as stringent as someone who is providing Software as a Service (SaaS) .

We’ve done numerous studies regarding the investment in time required to source the exact colocation services your company needs. Generally, colocation quotations aren’t given without a good understanding of your needs which can take up to 2-3 conference calls and several more follow ups. Even if you aren’t ready to purchase colocation services at that very moment it’s rare that the telephone calls will stop from prospective vendors who would like to earn your business.
