Location
Where should your infrastructure sit relative to users and networks?
Solutions / Colocation
A home for your critical infrastructure.
Explore data center suppliers and discuss the space, power, connectivity and operational support your infrastructure needs.
Keep your equipment in a purpose-built facility
Colocation provides space for customer-owned infrastructure in a third-party data center. The facility typically supplies contracted power, cooling and physical access arrangements, while equipment and operating responsibilities are defined separately. Avenvox helps you compare locations around your users, networks, operational requirements and expansion plans. Colocation can support organizations that need direct control over hardware while reducing reliance on an office server room.
Space, power and connectivity
Start with rack units, cabinet count, equipment weight and usable power requirements. Discuss expected growth and whether high-density equipment needs a particular cooling approach. Network connectivity may involve internet access, carrier circuits, cross-connects and links to cloud environments. These are distinct items with their own lead times and charges, so they should be included in a complete proposal.
Access and operational support
Review authorized access, visitor procedures, equipment deliveries and remote-hands services. Clarify what technicians can do, how tasks are requested and whether support is included or billed separately. Facility-level resilience does not replace resilient server, storage and network design. Ask for the evidence relevant to your procurement requirements and confirm the scope of any facility certifications rather than assuming they cover your own systems.
A practical move plan
Consider colocation during an office move, infrastructure refresh or hybrid-cloud project. Inventory equipment and dependencies, document cable layouts and plan transport, installation, testing and rollback. Compare contract terms, expansion availability, power commitments and connectivity costs alongside the location itself. If recovery is a goal, evaluate geographic separation and how users would reconnect after an outage. Avenvox can help organize these questions so supplier proposals describe the facility and operating support you actually need.
