Co-Location Data Center
Co-Location Data Center
The digital transformation is rapidly changing requirements for company organizational processes and, as a result, for IT infrastructure. Companies are focused on flexibility, individuality and speed – factors that will increasingly define our private environment as well. For many companies, colocation data centers are an ideal opportunity to integrate their corporate IT (hardware) into a safe, redundant data center environment.
