Yes, you can host your server at your own office. However many have chosen to co-locating the server at DC for the following reasons:i) Maximum Resource Availability
- You can ensure that your site remains accessible to your customers at most time utilising the DC Internet facilities, without draining your in-house internet resources.
- You need not have a dedicated support standing by 24x7x365 just to monitor your server uptime. DC has its all for no extra cost.
ii) High Data Protection
- Your important data are kept P&C at the data center with proper security and audited accessibility, resulting lower risk of internal or external data theft.
- Multiple copies of data can be stored at different locations for maximum protection.
ii) Cost controlling
- Co-location offers you more bandwidth at a much lower rate than running multiple T-1 lines to your office.
- You need not invest on powerful DC range equipments such as UPS, Genset, IDP architecture etc just to serve your only one or few servers in the office. You pay only the minimum to enjoy the greatest network facilities as the cost has been leverage with other co-location clients with the similar requirements of yours.
