Once
the decision to collocate a server is taken, the next step is deciding
on how much space you will need. We offer several options to best fit
your needs and can customize them further if need be. Our most popular
options are the 1U or 2U with a speed of 1x100Mbps. For a bit more space
at the same speed rate we have 4U spaces, or Towers as they’re also
known as. Medium sized companies do well with ¼ Cabinet, which is equal
to 10U. The speed rate is 10x100Mbps and offers 10 outlets. Larger
options are ½ Cabinets (21U) which have 20AMPs 110v outlets and run at a
speed of 10Mbps or Full Cabinets (42U) which have 1x20 AMPs 110v
outlets and run at a speed of 15Mbps. Drop us a line and we can help you
select the best space for your business.

In
this day in age, everyone is trying to do as much as possible to reduce
their carbon footprint. Reusable grocery bags have picked up in
popularity, nationwide 'lights out' events have taken place and public
transportation has picked up steam. It's not just individuals that are
being green; businesses have stepped up and taken steps towards becoming
eco friendly environments. One lesser known method of reducing a
business' energy emissions is by using a colocation server hosting
company, such as Colocation America, rather than having an in-house data
center. We use our expertise to outfit the centers with state of the
art, energy efficient power sources which use a significant amount less
power than an ineffective in-house data center. Our network engineers
have mastered the proper way to configure and manage clients’ equipment
to maximize its efficiency using the least amount of power. This not
only helps the environment but reduces expenses as well.

Our
clients have said that there is a piece of mind that comes with using
Colocation America for their colocation needs as opposed to having an
in-house data center. The average office simply doesn’t offer the
specialized features that our colocation facilities provide. Our

overheat. All of our facilities also have generators that will switch
on automatically if the power should fail, ensuring that your data does

detectors, fire sprinkler systems and preventive fire walls, are
professionally implemented in order to detect any danger from the

While search engines can
seem like an arbitrary selection of links to some, there is solid rhyme
and reason to them. Colocation America’s SEO web hosting plans are an
excellent way to boost our clients business to the top of search engine
results. Frequented search engines such as Google, Yahoo! and Bing are
the best places to strive for an increase in rankings. Our custom
strategies can maximize exposure and deliver high rankings from search
engine crawlers. There are several key factors that search engines take
into account in order to determine a sites ranking; backlinks play in
important role in that selection process. A websites’ backlink quality
can be augmented by distributing IP addresses over various domains, this
also shields against association with lesser quality domains.

For
many of our clients, the best option in keeping all systems running
smoothly is to have an outside source who will manage their servers.
Colocation America’s managed dedicated server plans typically include
network management, hardware management, software management and
application management. Network management services consist of
firewall, load balancing and VPN. Hardware management consists of web
server/database installation, monitoring and clustering, while software
management installs and configures your software and provides patches,
upgrades and reliable backups. Most hosts’ application management
services include installation and configuration, management and
monitoring and they will provide consistent patches and upgrades.
Companies turn to Colocation America for these needs because we are
available for your needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a
year, because you can never anticipate when a problem will arise.
