Are Enterprises Moving Away From Colocation?

2020-09-29T10:21:34-05:00

Colocation has long been a steady presence in the world of enterprise IT solutions. With the rise of the public cloud many predicted a decline in this kind of interconnection services. Instead, the converse is true: colocation is booming and does not look to slow any time soon. The interconnection market is growing, especially for larger organizations. Data centers across the board are spending more on their facilities as more enterprise businesses are using more colocation services than ever before. Rather than threaten or replace it, public cloud adoption has spurred the demand for colocation. As the cloud surges, so too does colocation. So what gives? To read more about [...]

Why is Remote Hands Becoming a Trend in IT Systems?

2020-08-20T15:05:53-05:00

What’s so great about remote hands services? Glad you asked. Remote Hands Means Better Response Time Maybe you need some visual verification for inventory purposes or to better understand certain [...]
