Colocation is about locating your Servers, in a facility that has a Network infrastructure capable of supporting the change that is being brought about with Cloud based applications.  As more of your applications become SOA compliant and you begin to use the services of SaaS providers you will want to host your Core Data Bases and Servers in a communications neutral multi Carrier facility.  The Cloud is more than just utilizing on demand Virtual resources.  It is the coming to age of Solution Based Computing tied together by the Network giving you access to a dispersed set of Application Solutions that meet the needs of your organizations.

The key to selecting a Colocation provider is the Network infrastructure that they have in place.  The investment that a Carrier needs to make in a data center is very substantial if it is going to meet the high availability demands of a dispersed Cloud (SaaS) environment.  Unless you are a Fortune 100 company a Carrier is not going to make that investment in your organization, and to expect multiple Carriers to do so is highly improbable.  That is why Colocation makes sense for most companies.  The need to have access to multiple Carriers for redundancy and backup, not to mention competitive network should be critical to your decision.

Equally important when selecting a Colocation Provider is the knowledge and experience of their Network Engineers and Technicians.  To manage a multi Carrier environment requires the proper infrastructure and technical expertise.  We at SMS can provide you world class capabilities on both fronts.  As a company we have over 400 technicians dedicated to the monitoring and management of Networks.

To take advantage of the much larger scales in both Servers and Networks requires a critical mass that your company does not have.  If you are going to outsource your Hosting what you want is a reliable Service Provider that can provide a Flexible ‘Pay for Use’ model of computing.  We at SMS have built our business around that model before it became common.
