Finding the proper colocation for your business is a major decision. A detailed strategic assessment of possible cities should be done before choosing any one company to provide colocation service. Any outsourcing of data centre services is a major investment, and the location of the company chosen is almost as important as the company chosen to host your company’s valuable data.
Naturally, you would not chose a third world country in the middle of a political revolution to host your companies server farm, but why else would the location of a data center be important? Colocation providers are responsible for many different types of services in addition to rack space. These services include power for cooling and generator battery capacity. Unfortunately, some parts of the world have problems with their power infrastructure resulting in power limitations.
By choosing a London colocation, power limitations will never be a problem for your colocation company. London colocation companies enjoy the excellent London power infrastructure, thus assuring the company will never have power issues that may affect the level of service provided to end users. This also means the colocation company can continue to expand, generating more revenues, which helps insure that the London colocation you chose will not abruptly go out of business or reduce the level of service which they provide.
