Wholesale data centers are more expensive than shared colocation data center facilities. For many companies, this is where the list of key considerations ends and they choose the cheaper option. This can turn out to be a terribly colossal mistake as the shared colocation data center facility may not be able to meet their needs adequately. It is vital that companies understand that the extra cost of these facilities is actually an investment in the kind of solution that they will get and its performance.
In order to demonstrate why a wholesale data center facility is well worth the cost, here are some of the most notable advantages that these facilities provide to their users.
Security of data stored at facility
A wholesale facility is a dedicated facility that is designed to serve the needs of the only company. This eliminates the issue of other companies gaining access to the facility to maintain, install, upgrade, or do any other work on their servers. Furthermore, the servers in the facility are completely isolated as they are part of a closed network to which no other company has access. This means that the company using this facility does not need to worry about endpoint security of other companies proving to be the weak point of their data center solution.
Better performance due to the dedicated service delivery
Wholesale data centers offer their clients the best performance of data center facilities available anywhere on the market. This is because since they serve only one client, there is no competition for access to any of the computing resources or support resources. For example, if they have an issue with the performance of the solution, they have access to their own technician who can be on call at any time they need him to be. Furthermore, the client is able to have the service provider create a customized hosting solution to meet some specific need.
Reliable and on demand scalability
Traditional data centers are able to provide scalability but only within certain parameters. Since there are many clients on the same system, the service provider may be forced to expand their facilities or decline the request for scaling up of resource access. However, with wholesale facilities, there is only one client and resources that they have been granted will, in many cases, be more than they need. Furthermore, the solutions provider will have an easier time allocating more resources as there are no other clients to inconvenience.
