Selling space in a data center is a competitive process. While certainly not considered a commodity, per say, organizations that are considering colocation look for many factors in determining whether to shutter their inhouse data center in favor of outsourced services.
Among the factors being weighed by companies across the United States are:
Security of the Colocation Center
Location
Price
Convenience
Simplicity of the Migration Process
Helping companies make smooth transitions from in-house data storage to colocation is one of the many services that OceanTech provides. Colocation requires a shift in several directions, but it can be an easier transition – and an easier sell for data center companies – when a plan for disposing of unused or outdated equipment can be included in the deal.
OceanTech works with more than 1500 companies around the country, including colocation centers that contact us to assist their potential clients in selling their outdated equipment. We are known throughout the industry for paying 2-3 times more for data center hardware (servers, network gear, etc.).
