A colocation or colocation center is a physical location that houses servers, storage, and networking equipment. These structures provide power, cooling, and security, all at a minimal cost as they house multiple companies' hardware. Colocations are ideal for small and large businesses as it alleviates the need for a dedicated server room, a network line, power backup solutions, cooling, or other hardware services.
