IT-Lifeline will work with your firm to determine the best location for your server colocation needs. Factors that determine an ideal location include:

• Cost of power
• Rack unit, whole rack, or caged-space pricing
• Data communications availability
• Level of redundancy
• Level of security
• Physical Accessibility
• Available support staff
• Availability to Recovery suites
• Additional support services such as:
• SAN Storage
• Data Backup
• Communications provisioning

Besides the obvious factors listed above, logistics with respect to your full business continuity plan should be considered. During recent natural and manmade disasters, the marketplace learned that technology at far-reaching remote facilities was not always available to employees or customers. IT-Lifeline will help you architect the best strategy for your collocated technology.

We can work with your firm to place strategic equipment in our colocation space with the intent of enabling high-availability replication and failover technologies, or activating the equipment into production in the event of primary system failure. We recommend that your firm extend your communications network directly into your recovery center to ensure a seamless connection back to your alternate employee sites at the time of adversity.
