Cloud Solutions · Data center
Your server, out of the closet and into a real facility
Co-Location
The back-office closet with a space heater in it is not a data center. Rack your hardware in a secured facility with redundant power, cooling, business-grade connectivity and our engineers on hand - priced per rack unit, so you only pay for the space you use.
What's included
- Per-rack-unit space in a secured San Diego facility
- Redundant power and climate control
- Business-grade bandwidth and static addressing
- Remote hands for reboots, media and cabling
- Monitoring, patching and backup of hosted systems
What changes for your business
-
Power and cooling stop being your problem
The most common cause of small-business server death is a hot room and a bad outlet. Both disappear here.
-
Real physical security
Controlled access and logging - which is also what HIPAA and PCI auditors want to hear about your server room.
-
Your office move stops being an outage
With the server racked off-site, relocating the office is a network project, not a systems shutdown.
How we deliver it
What actually happens
No vague promises - these are the concrete pieces of work included in the engagement.

Frequently asked questions
How do we reach the server after it moves?
Site-to-site VPN or published services with MFA, depending on the application. For most users nothing changes except that it's faster and doesn't go down in a heat wave.
Can we visit our hardware?
Yes, escorted access is arranged in advance. In practice most clients never need to - remote hands handles the physical work.
