Hosting services within a shared colocation facility allows customers to benefit from carrier grade network uptime, low cost bandwidth, power and cooling redundancy, 24/7 on-site management and security at a cost which could not be achieved by the customer hosting on their own premises. Business continuity is essential for most companies ensuring critical business functions and services are always available to customers, suppliers, regulators, and other entities that must have access to those functions. Redundancy is key and the investment made by the hosting company to provide high availability and secure hosting is a cost shared across multiple customers who use the facility, thus making colocation affordable.
