A buyer checklist for comparing UK colocation providers and data centre space.
Start with the facility
Check location, access process, power resilience, cooling design, security controls, fire suppression, environmental monitoring and expansion options.
Review connectivity
Consider IP transit, carrier access, cross-connects, bandwidth models, IPv6, cloud connectivity and network support.
Check support
Remote hands, delivery handling, escalation, account management and out-of-hours processes can make a major difference when running critical infrastructure.
Ask for transparent pricing
Make sure the quote covers rack space, power, bandwidth, IPs, remote hands, cross-connects, installation, access and any ongoing support requirements.
