It's more reliable
Data centres have extra resilience built-in to ensure we never have a problem with power, cooling or network connectivity. 4D boasts 99.999% uptime and we have never had a power outage.
It's more cost-effective
The economy of scale means we can power, cool and connect your infrastructure to superfast networks more cost-effectively than you could in your on-prem server room.
It's more flexible
When your organisation grows, you don’t need to worry about whether you have the capacity to add more servers. Scale up, out, or even back as your needs change.
It’s better connected
Data centres provide carrier-neutral internet, guaranteeing speed and flexibility. You can also interconnect to other data centres or connected directly to your office with a leased line.
It's always accessible
Our data centres are accessible and staffed 24/7/365 so you can access your servers whenever you need. Or take advantage of our Remote Hands service, and save yourself a trip.
Why Colocation?
Colocation is where you physically move (colocate) your servers and other IT equipment into a data centre - a purpose-built facility designed to keep your hardware running smoothly, 24/7/365.
The benefits of choosing to house your IT infrastructure in a data centre rather than in an on-premises server room are many. Here are just a few:
- It's more reliable
- It's more cost-effective
- It's more flexible
- It’s better connected
- It's always accessible
