Running a large-scale website can have its headaches. If your site is commercially oriented, you will need to ensure that all your e-commerce processes are running smoothly. In particular keeping online transactions secure will likely be a high priority.
If your site is database driven, ensuring the database is performing optimally will be vital.
These site management tasks can be daunting in and of themselves without having the additional headache of making sure your key IT hardware is being well maintained, and in a secure physical environment.
This is where colocation can be a real boon. ‘Colocation‘ is the physical relocation of your company’s or organisation’s server hardware to a specialist data centre, whilst your own system administrators retain full access remotely.
In other words, all the hassles of physically looking after your web server are taken out of your hands.
Meanwhile, your company’s own IT specialists retain admin rights, so can regularly monitor the server, apply patches, system updates, and any software upgrades as usual.
Here at CWCS we offer a range of good-value colocation packages, from housing a single server to a full rack, including both remote and physical access to the equipment.
We provide what we like to think of as ‘5-star hotel’ accommodation for your equipment, the security of a high-specification data centre, to fire suppression, a water detection system, theft prevention, and air conditioning.
Finally, all our colocation plans come with high calibre 24/7/365 technical support an assigned project manager.
