Getting the right steps with colocation is not always an easy task. Before making important decisions, make sure you have the answers to very specific questions. Here are a few.  

1. Data center location. Where is it? 

When discussing with a provider, make sure you understand firmly where the colocation data center is located.  

The location is obviously very important for a large number of reasons. For instance, you need to be aware of the potential obstacles and threats to the location (proximity to a city, access with motorways, environmental factors surrounding it, seismogenic epicenters).

2. Does the facility offer flexibility for the future 

As you expect your business to grow, it is crucial to know that the colocation data center offers a flexible infrastructure that adapts to your requirements and your needs as they will develop in the long term.  

3. What happens with connectivity and systems’ redundancy? 

You expect a colocation service never to let you down and always be there for you. To that, prior to signing an agreement, you need to check every detail regarding redundancy on power and cooling infrastructure, as well as how secure connectivity is.  

In terms of infrastructure, you can double check by asking whether the provider is certified by Uptime Institute.  

4. Security against all odds 

You want your equipment and your data to be 100% secure, not only on the digital side but also on the physical side. Do not hesitate to ask for every detail regarding digital and physical security.
