Colo-X analysis
ServerChoice are a great example of a retail focussed colocation service provider, interested in clients from 1/4, 1/2 or just a few racks, yet also able to service much larger requirements. They offer the ideal combination of strong in-house network skills, decent facilities, terrific onsite support and an attractive price point which suits numerous Colo-X customers.
The ServerChoice Stevenage data centre is a relatively small scale site (one of the smallest listed on Colo-X) supporting around 300 rack spaces, but now works in tandem with their growing presence in the impressive 32MW Kao Data campus nearby in Harlow, which means they have ample capacity across the two locations and ideally, the ability to provide dual-site solutions under one contract.
Both ServerChoice Stevenage and Harlow connect back to London Docklands over ServerChoice’s impressive self managed network backbone which offers 100Gbs wave options and again helps them to provide all-inclusive solutions of colo, network and support. A well located provider for the north of London area, just outside the M25.
