Managed Colocation Hosting

What Is Managed Colocation Hosting?

Managed Colocation Hosting from HOSTKEY is a professional service for colocating the client's server equipment in a reliable data center with a full range of managed services. Unlike standard colocation, where the client independently administers the equipment, HOSTKEY takes on monitoring, maintenance, security and infrastructure setup. This is the optimal solution for companies that want to retain control over their hardware, but not spend resources on its operation.

With Managed Colocation Hosting from HOSTKEY, you get not only server colocation in Tier III data centers, but also full technical support: network equipment setup, component replacement, backup, DDoS protection and 24/7 monitoring. This allows you to reduce operating costs, increase infrastructure fault tolerance and focus on business development, not on server administration.

How Does Managed Colocation Hosting Work?

Managed Colocation Hosting from HOSTKEY is a comprehensive solution that combines the advantages of classic colocation with professional infrastructure management. The client places their own server equipment in our Tier III data centers, and we ensure its uninterrupted operation: from connecting to powerful communication channels and cooling systems to round-the-clock monitoring and maintenance. This approach allows businesses to retain full control over the hardware, but delegate all operational tasks to our team of experts.

When using Managed Colocation Hosting from HOSTKEY, the client receives not just physical server placement, but full-fledged IT infrastructure outsourcing. Our specialists take on the configuration of network equipment, replacement of components, security (including DDoS protection), backup and prompt troubleshooting of any malfunctions. This guarantees maximum uptime of your services with minimal costs for maintaining your own IT staff and data center.
