While some businesses operate entirely in the cloud, some still have IT infrastructure they need to house. Others are moving from solely cloud environments to a colocation model. From air conditioning systems to networking facilities, there is a lot that goes into looking after IT infrastructure.
As businesses continue to expand their digital footprints, the demand for efficient and secure data management solutions has never been greater. Colocation, the practice of housing servers and IT infrastructure in third-party data centres, has emerged as an attractive option for enterprises seeking enhanced scalability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. However, before making a decision on colocation, it is vital to carefully assess the financial aspects associated with this service.
In a rapidly expanding, highly distributed cloud infrastructure environment, it can be difficult to make decisions about the design and management of cloud architectures. That’s because it’s hard for a single observer to see the full scope when their organization owns thousands of cloud resources distributed across hundreds of accounts.

The Edinburgh South Gyle colocation data centre is the largest and most connected in Scotland, and one of the most connected north of London.

But what does that mean for your business - and how can you benefit from the colocation services available?
