Colocation &
Data Center Services

A colocation facility, or colo, is a data center facility in which a business can rent space for servers and other computing hardware.

Typically, a colo provides the building, cooling, power, bandwidth and physical security, while the customer provides servers and storage. Space in the facility is often leased by the rack, cabinet, cage or room. Many colos have extended their offerings to include managed services that support their customers' business initiatives.

Often, colocation providers lease space to various tenants looking for colocation services – including network providers, cloud providers, and enterprises. These tenants can then interconnect to one another within the colocation data center and do business together. This allows businesses to centralize their IT operations and create an efficient architecture that can reduce costs.

A cross connect is a point-to-point cable link between two customers in the same amnet data center.
With cross connects you receive a fast, convenient and affordable integration with business partners and service providers within the amnet digital ecosystem. You also get highly reliable, extremely low-latency communication, system integration and data exchange.

95th percentile method is a way to meter and bill the bandwidth used by different machines hosted by an ISP. It aims to offer the best balance between scalability, cost and volatility. Burstable billing is one of the most popular bandwidth metering methods, because it both favors customers and helps service providers reduce their infrastructure and management costs.

Colocation (sometimes known as “colo”) is the practice of renting space for your servers and other computing hardware at a third-party provider's data center facility. Hosted Rack space is typically sold in measures of "U".

For standardization purposes, 1U equals 1.75 inches in height.  A single U is then followed by its successive sizes (i.e. 2U, 3U, 4U, etc.). These sizes measure the overall height of racked or mounted servers.

Security awareness training is a formal process for educating employees and third-party stakeholders, like contractors and business partners, how to protect an organization's computer systems, along with its data, people and other assets, from internet-based threats or criminals.
