Colocated Servers

server-90389_1280If you need reliable high-speed Internet access with guaranteed power, but don’t want to be saddled with the expense of T1 or T3 connectivity and a temperature-controlled machine room with redundant power, Colocation is for you. SWCP provides high speed connections, monitors networks and servers 24/7, in a secure, controlled environment.

Colocate a server in SWCP’s Albuquerque Data Center to gain access to our redundant high speed network, our backup power generator, and our locked and monitored facilities. System administration is available, from occasional reboots to installing all software and patches and any level between. We are Unix, Linux, and BSD specialists.

Prices

There is a one-time installation fee for Colocation service, and a monthly service fee. The base monthly charge for Colocation service includes a bandwidth allocation, with charges for transfer above that amount. For billing purposes SWCP will use either incoming or outgoing number of bytes transferred, whichever is greater. A “GB” is one Gigabyte, 1024^3 bytes. The base charge includes electricity and cooling (including backup power provided by both UPS and generator) for a 1U or 2U server.

Data Backup Service

Colocated servers can use the SWCP BUS to back up critical server data reliably and securely.  Colo customers get a discounted rate on BUS service.  Backups are done to SWCP’s BUS server in the same data center, with automatic replication to an off-site backup in a different data center.  Backups are encrypted for privacy and restores can be done at any time by the customer.
