On-premise vs. Colocation: Choose the Right Solution for Your Business
27 March 2025

In today’s digital world, businesses need agility — and colocation is one of the solutions that offers the flexibility required.

 

What Is an On-Premise Data Center? An on-premise data center is fully owned and operated by a company, which handles everything from infrastructure to maintenance. The business is directly responsible for managing IT systems, performing updates, and ensuring security.

What Is a Colocation Data Center? A colocation data center is managed by a service provider that rents out space, power, and additional services to multiple clients in the same facility.
This model gives companies access to advanced, secure, up-to-date, and monitored infrastructure — without the need for large upfront investments.

 

Running an on-premise data center can be expensive and complex. Building and constantly upgrading the infrastructure requires significant investments and specialized expertise that may go beyond internal capabilities. Plus, keeping all resources in one location is no longer the most efficient approach.

 

Why Choose Colocation? Colocation offers several advantages:

  • Predictable Costs: Pay only for what you need — no massive capital expenditures.
  • Scalability: Easily adapt to evolving business needs by relocating or expanding.
  • Ecosystem Access: Low-latency connectivity and access to a wide range of cloud and IT service providers.
  • Optimized Performance: Combine colocation with cloud resources while keeping full control of your data.
  • AI-Ready: Colocation data centers support advanced workloads like AI with technologies such as liquid cooling.
