Co-Location is “outsourcing the Internet facility, connectivity and service to professional providers,” such as USOL.com...

Why Co-locate?

COST, EXPERTISE, CORE COMPETENCY

Companies with mission critical Web Server needs experience three significant obstacles when attempting to maintain their own mission critical Internet connectivity:

Connectivity: Mission critical connectivity demands multiple redundant connections. Managing these connections   requires technical expertise in understanding BGP4 routing, TCP/IP and other Internet protocol, which does not exist with most IS personnel. In addition, transit and peering redundancies can be costly or simply not possible.

Facility: The costs involved in constructing a facility with fail safe redundancy at every potential point of failure, and 24 x 7 operation can be staggering.

Service: Again, 24 x 7 operation and specialized expertise can be costly and technically overwhelming. Quite simply, maintaining a mission critical  Web Server distracts businesses from their core competency and dilutes their business focus..
