Your Challenges

Running your own server room drains budget, people, and time. Uptime, scaling, and out of hours incidents are hard to manage. Our UK colocation cuts risk and cost with resilient power, cooling, and connectivity, plus 24/7 expert support to keep you online and ready to grow.

SOCOTEC and ISO 27001 UKAS certified badge

High costs

Capex for space, power, and cooling adds up, and onsite maintenance drains time. Managing vendors, audits, and upgrades increases complexity and risk.

Uptime pressure

Keeping systems online needs resilient power, cooling, connectivity, and incident response. Single points of failure and limited cover make outages more likely.

Scaling pains

Growth demands extra racks, bandwidth, and expertise. Forecasting peaks is hard, and delayed procurement slows launches, projects, and performance for critical workloads.

Limited support

Issues do not wait for office hours. Without 24x7x365 expert cover and clear SLAs, incidents escalate, recovery lags, and teams burn out.

Why choose CWCS

Choose a colocation partner focused on uptime, security, and service, with the scale and experience to support your plans today and tomorrow.
