Colocation or Server hosting:
Cost effective, reliable, and flexible would be an accurate description of the goals of our co-location services. Working with your IT personnel we develop a custom co-location proposal for your business.
What is Server Co-location?
Co-location (sometimes spelled "colocation" or "collocation") is the provision of space for a customer's telecommunications equipment on the service provider's premises. Specifically, a website owner could place the site's own computer server on the premises of the Internet service provider.
One must understand the Internet and how it works to realize the benefits of a colocation facility or Internet data center. The Internet is built on a network of networks connecting to major points on a worldwide type of grid that enables traffic to properly get to its destination. Guaranteed Internet reliability in conjunction with the fastest delivery time possible is achieved by garnering the backbone of a technical infrastructure that only exists in a colocation facility. Colocation facilities are equipped with capabilities that far surpass what a company could do on its own premises.
At eWorld’s Colocation facility, you will be connected to direct dedicated Fiber optic Bandwidth for faster access to your website or data. Co-location facilities offer the customer a secure place to physically house their hardware and equipment as opposed to locating it in their offices or warehouse where the potential for fire, theft or vandalism is much greater. A server, usually a Web server, that is located at a dedicated facility designed with resources which include a secured cage or rack, regulated power, dedicated internet connection, security and support.
Are we the ideal co-location facility for your business?
If you're looking for a company that is easy to communicate with, will customize its charges to meet the specific space, data, and redundancy requirements of your business, then the answer is yes.
For a company to benefit from a colocation facility's resources, they must ship or deliver their server(s) to a colocation facility to host their Internet web sites and other Internet services, such as web hosting, mail services, VOIP, streaming Internet radio, etc. These computers along with network equipment are coupled with the colocation facility's large Internet connections. To ensure technical reliability for your Internet business, a colocation facility offers redundant UPS and prime source type of generator backed electrical power, redundant A/C systems, 24/7 onsite technical support, and 24/7 physical security. All of these services are included in a state-of-the-art data center.
Impressively, if ever a power shortage occurred within the city, our colocation facility has back-up battery banks (UPS) that are always on-line to keep the power up while power generators immediately take over to prevent any outages within the facility itself. This is a great advantage to your company to sustain business regardless of outside factors. By using a highly secured, technically maintained, specially cooled environment around the clock with an advanced staff that serves to satisfy all your technical needs, a colocation facility is a company's best investment.

Is Co-location a better option for your business?
Co-location can be a great model for some companies. For others it can be beyond their core abilities. This is a decision that eWorld can help you with. Here are a couple of things that your company must have in order for co-location to be the right service for your business. First, your company must have a technical contact that has the ability and desire to manage a server independently. Second, since co-location implies that your business owns a server, you must currently own a server or be prepared to purchase one prior to co-locating with eWorld Internet Services. Finally, your technical representative must be able to diagnose and maintain the hardware in your server.
