A server room in your own office is expensive, noisy and rarely truly fail-safe. With colocation you keep your own hardware – and still benefit from the infrastructure of a professional data centre.
Power & cooling
Protected power supply with UPS and backup generators plus professional cooling – around the clock.
Fast connectivity
Redundant high-bandwidth internet connectivity and your own IP addresses for your systems.
Physical security
Access control, video surveillance and fire protection – your hardware is better protected than in any office.
Remote hands
Reboots, disk swaps or plugging in cables: we handle on-site tasks for you – no need to travel.
What we house
- Single servers from 1 rack unit
- Multiple servers & storage systems
- Quarter, half and full racks
- Network and firewall hardware
- GPU servers with high power requirements
How colocation works at Evolus
Consultation
You tell us how many devices you want to house, how much power they need and what connectivity is required. We recommend a location and package.
Quote
You receive a transparent quote for rack units, power, bandwidth and IP addresses.
Installation
You bring or ship your hardware. We install it, cable it and put it into operation together with you.
Operation
You manage your servers remotely. For on-site work, we are there for you.
Colocation, dedicated server or cloud?
Colocation pays off especially if you already own hardware, need special components or want to run your servers long-term. You only pay for space, power and connectivity – the hardware remains your property. If you would rather not buy hardware, a rented dedicated server is the alternative: the same performance, but without investment and without worrying about faulty parts.
Colocation FAQ
What is the difference between colocation and server housing?
None – both terms describe the same thing: you place your own server hardware in a third-party data centre and use its power, cooling and internet connectivity.
How much does colocation cost?
The price mainly depends on the number of rack units, power consumption and the bandwidth required. Send us your requirements and we will prepare a non-binding quote.
Can I access my servers at any time?
Management is usually done remotely. For on-site work we offer remote hands; personal access is possible by arrangement.
Do you also handle moving my servers into the data centre?
Yes. We plan the move with you, install the hardware and make sure your systems are back online as quickly as possible.
