Colocation Data Centre
Scout Outsource provides colocation data centre services, offering secure rack space with redundant power, high-speed carrier-neutral connectivity, 24/7 monitoring and physical security for business-critical infrastructure.
Colocation gives you redundant power, cooling, connectivity and physical security without building and maintaining a data centre yourself. It suits the workloads that cannot move to public cloud for latency, licensing or compliance reasons, and it is usually the cheaper answer for steady-state infrastructure.
What’s included
- Secure facilities
- Access-controlled, monitored data centre space with the physical security an in-house server room rarely matches.
- Redundant power
- UPS and generator-backed supply with redundant feeds, so a single failure does not take your systems down.
- Carrier-neutral connectivity
- Choice of carriers and high-speed links rather than being tied to whoever owns the building.
- Scalable footprint
- From a few rack units to full cabinets and private suites, scaling without a move.
- Remote hands and monitoring
- 24/7 monitoring with on-site support, so you are not driving to a facility at 3am.
Who this is for
Organisations with workloads that cannot move to public cloud, businesses outgrowing an on-premise server room, and anyone needing a second site for disaster recovery.
Common questions
What is the difference between colocation and cloud?
In colocation you own the hardware and rent resilient space, power and connectivity for it. In cloud you rent the compute itself. Colocation suits steady-state workloads and hardware you already own; cloud suits variable demand.
Can colocation be used for disaster recovery?
Yes, and it is one of the most common uses: a second site geographically separate from your primary, with replication between them and a tested failover procedure.
How much space do we need?
Most clients start with a partial cabinet and grow. We size it from your current hardware, power draw and a realistic three-year growth assumption.
