The Security Advantages of Colocation with an Independent Provider

Authored by: Chris Mirabello

With ever-evolving technology, comes ever-evolving threats. According to a recent report by Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, in Q1 of 2025 alone, over 32 million people were impacted by 658 distinct breach incidents in the U.S. With threats to our digital landscapes ramping up, increasingly complex compliance requirements are often put into place to combat them. This makes the decision of where to colocate your critical IT infrastructure more pressing than ever. While hyperscalers and large public providers are well-known for their capabilities, colocating with an independent provider offers distinct security advantages that could prove vital for safeguarding your business, data, and reputation.

Unlike large, multi-tenant hyperscale operators, independent colocation providers can focus on the unique needs of their clients. For example, at 365 Data Centers, security is woven into every aspect of our operations. Our 20 carrier-neutral data centers are strategically located across the U.S., each designed to deliver secure, reliable, and compliant colocation services. We operate with a laser focus on multi-layered security, combining robust physical protections, advanced network defenses, and rigorous access controls to create a comprehensive security perimeter for our clients.

Security & Compliance

While physical security is easy to overlook, this element is foundational to any effective data center strategy. 365’s facilities employ 24/7/365 monitoring, biometric access controls, and video surveillance to ensure that only authorized personnel can access sensitive areas. This multi-layered approach not only deters unauthorized access but also provides multiple opportunities for threat detection and rapid response. By maintaining direct control over facilities, independent providers can quickly adapt security protocols to address emerging risks, something that can often be lost in larger, less agile environments.

Compliance is another crucial piece of the puzzle. Our operations are built to exceed the requirements of leading regulatory frameworks, including HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, SSAE 18, and ISAE 3404. Our clients benefit from facilities that are not only compliant from day one, but are also audit-ready, with documentation and support available whenever needed. This proactive approach to compliance minimizes risk, reduces the burden on internal teams, and ensures infrastructure is always aligned with the latest regulatory demands.

Resilience, Recovery, & Support

Security goes beyond prevention; it’s also about resilience in the face of threats. 365’s network infrastructure is engineered with that in mind. We also integrate redundant power, cooling, and network systems to guarantee uptime and business continuity. We offer 100% uptime SLAs for customers leveraging both primary and redundant circuits, ensuring your data and applications remain available even in the face of unexpected disruptions. Our disaster recovery and real-time backup solutions further protect your business, enabling rapid restoration in the event of an incident.

One of the greatest benefits from working with an independent provider is the personalized service and accountability you can expect. Our experienced technical staff are always available to support your team, whether you’re facing a security question, compliance audit, or technical challenge. With 365 Data Centers, you have a single point of contact and a partner who is fully invested in your success, eliminating delays and focusing on what matters most: your business.

Ensuring Business Continuity: Disaster Recovery Solutions in Colocation Environments

Ensuring Business Continuity: Disaster Recovery Solutions in Colocation Environments

Authored by Derek Gillespie

In today’s data-driven landscape, business continuity isn’t just a best practice; it’s a necessity. Enterprises can’t afford to suffer disruptions, downtime or data loss, whether they’re caused by natural disasters, cyberattacks, unexpected outages, or other factors. Today’s businesses face mounting risks from ransomware, system outages, and severe weather events, and the average cost of a data breach continues to climb. When the unexpected happens, it can result in lost revenue, damage to reputations, and operational chaos.

As infrastructure grows more complicated, traditional on-premises disaster recovery strategies often fall short; they’re expensive to maintain, slow to scale, and not well suited for today’s hybrid and cloud-integrated IT environments. For a more agile and proven way to minimize downtime and safeguard mission-critical systems, businesses are turning to colocation environments for a reliable and scalable solution.

Colocation services offer secure and redundant environments for critical IT infrastructure. By leveraging these facilities, enterprises can safeguard systems and data while ensuring rapid recovery when disaster does strike.

Colocation helps with disaster recovery in several ways, including the following:

  • Server Backup
  • System Replication
  • Network Redundancy
  • Server Redundancy
  • Backup Data Storage
  • Location Diversity

To maximize the value of colocation for disaster recovery, businesses should conduct a thorough assessment beforehand to evaluate risks and define clear metrics. Once that assessment is complete, choose a provider with proven redundancy, security, and compliance that matches all business needs. Providers with real-time data replication and multi-site backup strategies are ideal for ensuring business continuity in the event of a disaster. Leveraging the expert support of your chosen disaster recovery partner to regularly test and update disaster recovery plans will help your business adapt to evolving threats so that you stay ahead of the curve.

At 365 Data Centers, we offer all of the above services, in addition to expertise and knowledge from a team of experts ready to work with you to create the best possible protection solution for your business. Our services include several replication features, such as automated failover, failback, and testing, storage agnostic replication between different storage technologies, and more. We also guarantee a 100% power uptime SLA for customers with primary and redundant circuits, and a 99.999% uptime SLA for network services, backed by continuous monitoring and expert support.

Colocation is more than a safe place for your servers; it’s a strategic and forward-thinking investment in your business continuity. By taking the initiative to create a strategic disaster recovery plan and doing the research to find the best possible provider for your needs, you can empower your enterprise to recover faster, minimize losses, and stay resilient in the face of disruptions. Downtime is not an option in the modern era of business, and colocation delivers the continuity your business deserves.

The Role of Edge Computing in Modern Data Center Strategies

The Role of Edge Computing in Modern Data Center Strategies

Authored by Sam Zurzolo

Edge computing has revolutionized the data center landscape, offering unprecedented opportunities for businesses to enhance operations and deliver superior user experiences. At 365 Data Centers, we’ve seen the transformative power of edge computing and its impact on modern data center strategies firsthand.

Edge computing has several advantages, bringing data processing closer to the source and enabling faster response times and more efficient data handling. This approach offers key benefits. For example, by processing data closer to its origin, edge computing significantly reduces latency, enabling real-time responses crucial for applications like autonomous vehicles, telemedicine, and augmented reality.

In addition, edge computing analyzes and filters data locally, reducing the amount of information transmitted to centralized data centers and optimizing bandwidth usage. Organizations can also expand capacity incrementally, allowing for improved scalability without overburdening core infrastructure. Plus, distributed edge nodes provide redundancy, ensuring continuity of operations even if one node fails.

When considering whether edge computing is the right next step for your business, it’s important to assess current infrastructure to determine specific areas where edge computing would address limitations or improve performance. If your business has applications that require low latency, real-time processing, or improved data security, these are areas in which edge computing could enhance your infrastructure.

Analyzing data needs is also beneficial. Consider the volume of data your organization generates and determine whether processing it closer to the source would be beneficial. Next, evaluate the potential cost savings in data transmission, storage, and processing that edge computing might provide. Edge computing can also offer enhanced security due to localized processing, which may be beneficial if your organization handles sensitive data.

Edge computing is a powerful tool for businesses looking to better their data processing capabilities and drive innovation and growth. If adopting edge computing aligns with your company’s overall digital transformation strategy and business goals, 365 Data Centers is here to help you navigate this transition with reliable and secure solutions and expert insights.

By embracing edge computing, businesses can unlock new levels of performance, efficiency, and innovation. In today’s landscape, prioritizing edge computing in data center strategies is essential for enterprises to remain competitive. At 365 Data Centers, we’re committed to helping our clients leverage the power of edge computing. Our comprehensive infrastructure-as-a-service solutions, available across 20 data centers with reach to an additional 125 network PoPs, makes it easy for businesses to implement robust edge strategies.

Hybrid Solutions: Seamlessly Integrating Colocation and Cloud Services

Hybrid Solutions: Seamlessly Integrating Colocation and Cloud Services

Authored by Derek Gillespie

As enterprises navigate the complexities of digital transformation, many are discovering that a one-size-fits-all approach to application architecture and IT infrastructure no longer works. While some applications benefit from the scalability and flexibility of public clouds, others may require the security, control, performance, and cost benefits offered by colocation or data center-provided cloud services. This realization has led to the popularity of hybrid solutions, which combine these approaches.

Colocation services, often referred to as “colo,” involve housing an organization’s IT infrastructure (such as servers, storage, and networking equipment) in a third-party data center. Instead of maintaining their own data centers, businesses can rent space within these facilities, which provide power, cooling, physical security, and connectivity. At 365 Data Centers, we offer carrier-dense, state-of-the-art colocation facilities across 20 markets in the U.S., providing businesses with a secure and reliable environment for their mission-critical infrastructure. These services include 24/7/365 support, monitoring, robust power and cooling systems, high-level physical security, and compliance with industry standards.

Cloud services, on the other hand, deliver the flexibility and scalability of on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable resources, including servers, storage, and networking along with other value-added services. Public clouds have become a popular choice; however, for some applications, public cloud is not the answer. For instance, some companies seek a higher degree of control, security, and privacy for certain applications. Also, some applications are cost-prohibitive to run in public clouds due to the high costs of egress, servers, storage, and network. Further, some applications have challenges associated with latency and performance. At 365, our cloud solutions can help alleviate some of the challenges associated with public cloud.

The Power of Hybrid Solutions

By combining colocation, data center-provided clouds, and public clouds, companies can create a tailored IT architecture that addresses their unique requirements, effectively achieving the best of both worlds. For example, bandwidth-intensive, performance-sensitive applications can be hosted on customer-owned hardware in colocation or on data center-provided clouds at the edge. Not only can it be more cost-effective, but having their applications closer to their end users, achieves a better user experience. Since you can seamlessly connect these architectures to public cloud, you can still complement the benefits of public cloud to support other needs of an application.

Another use case is industries with strict regulatory requirements; a hybrid solution can strike an ideal balance. Sensitive data can be collocated in secure facilities, adhering to compliance standards such as HIPAA or data residency. Meanwhile, data and applications that do not require the same measures can leverage the scalability and flexibility of data center-provided cloud or public cloud. In a similar vein, leveraging both colocation and cloud services enhances disaster recovery and business continuity, since critical data and applications can be replicated across multiple locations.

When considering a hybrid solution, it is essential to carefully plan out application architecture and IT infrastructure to ensure seamless integration between colocation and cloud services. Keeping future growth in mind is also critical. With a well-planned hybrid solution, businesses can unlock an optimal balance of cost, performance, security, and scalability to maximize the business value of their applications.  At 365 Data Centers, we are committed to helping businesses leverage the full potential of hybrid solutions.

Colocation vs. Cloud: How to Choose the Right Solution for Your Business

Colocation vs. Cloud: How to Choose the Right Solution for Your Business

When it comes to managing your IT infrastructure, choosing between colocation or cloud for your enterprise may be overwhelming. Both options offer unique advantages, and choosing the right solution can significantly impact your organization’s efficiency, scalability, and bottom line. At 365 Data Centers, we pride ourselves on being able to guide you in making the right decision for your business.

While colocation involves renting physical space in a third-party data center to house your own servers and hardware, cloud services provide virtualized computing resources over the internet, eliminating the need for on-site hardware management. Each option brings to the table unique factors to consider, such as cost effectiveness, security and compliance, and customization potential. Some organizations also opt for a hybrid approach, combining the strengths of each solution to optimize costs and enhance business continuity and disaster recovery. Whichever route you choose, it’s essential to select a solution that integrates well with your existing IT infrastructure.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution, since each enterprise presents a unique scenario with its own set of needs. To identify the best fit for your business, consider the following:

  • Assess Your Current Infrastructure: Do you have existing hardware investments? If so, colocation may be the most cost-effective option.
  • Understand Your Customization Needs: Will you need full authority over your hardware and software components? Colocation provides more options for control, allowing for extensive customization depending on the requirements of your business.
  • Evaluate Your Growth Trajectory: At what rate do you anticipate your business to grow? Fast-growing startups might benefit from the instant scalability that cloud offers, while businesses with predictable, steady growth may favor colocation’s planned expansion.
  • Consider Your Technical Expertise: Does your business have an in-house IT team? Cloud services often come with built-in support, while colocation requires more in-house expertise.
  • Analyze Your Budget Structure: Do you plan for monthly expenses or long-term investments? Cloud services may be more appealing if you prefer predictable monthly expenses with their pay-as-you-go models, while colocation requires a higher payment upfront for long-term savings overall.
  • Review Compliance Requirements: Does your industry have strict data handling regulations? If that is the case, colocation may be the best fit for your business since it allows you to implement custom security measures and maintain physical control over data.

At 365 Data Centers, we are committed to helping you navigate these questions and choices. Our team of experts can assist in designing a tailored solution that aligns with your business objectives, whether that’s a pure colocation setup, a cloud-based infrastructure, or a hybrid model that combines the best of both worlds.
