Colocation Services Breadth - A Critical Selection Criteria

Authors:  Alan Howard, Principal Analyst and Dominika Koncewicz, Senior Analyst


Overview

This report provides colocation customers or prospective customers a general overview of the breadth of services a colocation service provider (SP) may provide.

This information can be used to develop a more comprehensive request for information (RFI) or request for proposal (RFP) for colocation services. A colocation consumer may require specific services or features from an SP now, but as important, they should consider that they may need broader managed or professional services in the future. By understanding the potential breadth of services any given colocation SP might provide, consumers can ensure those services are available even though they may not need them now.

The colocation SPs covered in this report are a sample from a much larger industry. When assessing potential colocation SPs in a particular market, it is important to research and unearth all the available SPs to achieve a reasonable competitive comparison.

The data in this report is not an endorsement or otherwise for any colocation
