What is data center colocation (housing)?

A colocation (colo) is a commercial data center where multiple customers can house their own servers and equipment in the server rooms, while managing the servers and storage themselves. The aim of colocation is to guarantee 100% uptime for all server equipment present. Colocation provides many benefits and opportunities: server rooms are equipped with modern cooling techniques, connectivity, security, funding, and links to, for example, cloud providers and other facilities that an organization may find difficult to realize. You can also often make use of a superfast and redundant network thanks to colocation.

Thanks to the carrier-neutral colocation at LCL, you can choose from the most extensive range of network providers, ensuring you always choose a network that best supports your business. To build in more redundancy, increase your organization's adaptability and save costs, you can also use multiple carriers.
