Data Center Colocation

Colocate with 5NINES

There is a lot to consider when deciding where and how to physically store your data. Data centers have many technical requirements to ensure proper security, accessibility, main and backup power supply, fire detection and suppression, and disaster mitigation. For most small and medium-size businesses, the cost and expertise required to do it right is prohibitive, making colocation the best option.

With colocation, you can easily scale up your data center as your business grows without having to foot the bill for a purpose-built facility.

5NINES offers world-class, carrier-neutral colocation services in south-central, south-eastern and northern Wisconsin. Our unparalleled data center environments will keep your most critical data and equipment safe, secure and available 24/7.

Benefits of 5NINES Colocation

Cost

Colocation cuts out all of the startup costs of building a data center — like buying a building, hiring a team, setting up and maintaining a generator, and other expenses. Colocation allows you to only pay for what you need and let experts monitor your data center 24/7.

Scalability

With colocation, you don’t have to worry about storage limitations or network capacity. You can easily scale your hardware up or down. 5NINES can help customize a set up that will evolve with your needs.

Physical security

Your data is your most critical asset. Keeping it safe requires the full-time attention of a team of experts and a carefully designed physical environment. 5NINES’ purpose-built data center has every modern security measure in place.

Disaster Protection

Whether it’s a fire on the floor below you or a city-wide flood, a disaster can result in lost data and lost revenue from your website being offline. At 5NINES, we’re prepared for the unexpected with redundant power sources, backup generators, state-of-the-art cooling systems, and a well-rehearsed disaster response plan to prevent downtime.
