Deploying mobile solutions can create a variety of headaches for your IT staff. Additional servers, applications, bandwidth requirements and changes to security policies can derail an otherwise successful project. DCT through partnerships with enterprise class co-location facilities can provide a cost effective manageable solution to these challenges.

Co–location facilities provide you with secure space in a cabinet to house your equipment, UPS-protected power, backup diesel generated power, redundant air conditioning equipment, automated fire suppression systems and your choice of Internet connectivity options. These facilities can host your company-owned equipment or provide complete infrastructure on an as needed basis.

Our co-location partners provide:

• Racks and servers
  Equipment space is offered in half cabinet, full cabinet, or per "U" configurations. All customer equipment is installed in a fully enclosed and secured cabinet with locking mechanisms designed to meet your specific needs.
• Bandwidth
  Our Co-Location service is in a carrier neutral facility (CNF). You have the flexibility to provide your own bandwidth from the carrier of your choice or purchase bandwidth from DCT. It's your choice. The IOC features multiple, high-capacity, redundant Internet connections for a reliable system with high availability. Our multi-layered approach to networking infrastructure minimizes single points of failure.
• Tech support
  We offer Level 1 technical support to each Co-Location client at no charge, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
  Level 1 support includes the following:
  • Basic Troubleshooting
  • Remote Hands
  For clients who require additional technical support and/or special services we have Level - 2 and -3 programs available, giving you additional support resources to meet your needs.
• Service level guarantees (SLA)
  Because of our highly redundant infrastructure and commitment to service, we are able to offer a comprehensive set of service level commitments with corresponding failure resolution remedies.
• Security
  Biometric laser hand scanners limit access to the Command Rooms and the Computer Rooms to authorized personnel. All entry and exit activities are logged on redundant systems. All client equipment is secured in locked enclosures. All access is escorted and recorded by digital video.
• Emergency Precautions
  In the case of a loss of power, Kohler diesel generators located outside both buildings in secured enclosures can supply back-up power to the IOCs for days without refueling. In case of a fire, specially designed, automated FM-200 fire-suppression systems prevents excessive damage to IOCs equipment. The FM-200 agent saturates the room, coating oxygen molecules in the air to prevent/extinguish a fire.
• Network Infrastructure
  The IOCs feature multiple, high-capacity, redundant Internet connections for reliable systems with high availability. Our systems architecture is highly redundant, which minimizes single points of failure.
• Environmental Control
  Redundant dedicated Liebert Air-Handling Units regulate temperature, humidity and airflow in the Computer Rooms, keeping the environments at an optimum level for the computer systems.
• Monitoring
  Both facilities infrastructure components and services such as power, temperature and humidity are monitored 24x7. All network infrastructure components and services such as routing, switching and bandwidth are monitored 24x7 with certified network engineers available to respond to problems anytime day or night.
