Frequently asked questions about colocation for companies
Everything you need to know about colocation
What does colocation mean?
Colocation means that you obtain space in a data center to house your own servers and IT equipment. You benefit from professional infrastructure and security without having to worry about these aspects yourself.
Why colocation?
Rely on colocation to operate your IT infrastructure in a highly secure, energy-efficient and scalable data center. Save high investment costs for your own IT rooms and their operation. You benefit from maximum availability, professional support and flexible network connections while you can concentrate on your core business.
What is the difference between colocation and housing?
You may have heard of housing and wondered how it differs from colocation. The answer is simple: both terms are usually used interchangeably. Conclusion: Whether you call it housing or colocation, with AKQUINET you always receive the same high-quality service.
What is the difference between colocation and hosting?
With colocation, you operate your own hardware in our data center and retain full control over your IT systems. With hosting, on the other hand, we provide both the infrastructure and the servers and take over the entire operation so that you do not need your own hardware.
Can colocation and cloud products be combined?
Yes, with the AKQUINET connectivity platform you can combine the advantages of both worlds. Take a look at our solutions here.
When do I have access to my servers in the colocation areas?
Once you have registered, you have round-the-clock access to your servers. Registration is simple and straightforward via your personal access in the AKQUINET registration tool.
Can I also have my servers managed?
Yes, with AKQUINET you have the option of individually determining the level of support for your devices. For example, you can choose from Helping Hands, IMAC/R/D and our hosting services.
