Charlotte - Baltimore - Washington, DC Colocation

A colocation arrangement at DC74 affords customers the flexibility and cost efficiency to continue to use their existing network hardware infrastructure (servers, storage, switches, firewalls, etc), by providing a desirable, dependable, and secure environment for hardware to operate at its most efficient capacity.

Clients that relocate their existing equipment to one of four DC74 facilities mitigate a myriad of possible scenarios that typically result in catastrophic data losses that render data non-recoverable.  These common situations include:

  • Fire
  • Theft
  • Flood
  • Malicious employee activity
  • Unwelcoming environmental situations
    • Excessive heat
    • Poor air circulation
    • high/low humidity
    • Dust/dirt

Service Disruption
More common than catastrophic data losses, service disruptions can render a company network useless.  For companies that maintain their IT infrastructure in their office, a power outage (resulting from a utility construction project, thunderstorm, etc.) can suspend service to their company for hours or days.  (Natural disasters can result in weeks and months of inability to operate a business from an affected location.)  During this downtime, employee productivity is at a standstill and customers of the affected companies typically seek alternative sources for their needs.

Companies that colocate in one of DC74's data centers can stay connected to their data (email, files, and software applications such as CRMs and ERPs) even if their office suffers a major power outage or other catastrophe.  This permits companies to stay connected to their customers, and managers to stay connected to their employees in even the most adverse conditions.  DC74's colocation services are a simple way for companies to leverage cutting edge technical advancements to mitigate everyday risks that are prominent in most offices.  Clients benefit from the newly available space that is created when they relocate their equipment, as well as a reduction in power costs.

DC74 operates four data centers that provide colocation services for companies that demand premiere uptime, at a cost that aligns with the budget restrictions of today's marketplace.  DC74 can quickly quote needs for space, power, and bandwidth and also provide management services to support most any needs, regardless of the structure of a company's IT department.
