XO Colo: Choosing the Best Alternative for Your Business

Just because the expenditure in putting up a huge data center facility is too big, many people resort to using an alternative solution, that is still reliable, dependable, and proven and tested way of keeping the company’s data and other business applications.

XO Colo is now one of the very promising collocation corporations that cater to small and medium companies. XO Colo has been serving small and medium companies in this part of the country. In fact, based on records, XO Colo has a lot to offer to clients and customers.

XO Colo has lots of collocation branches which caters to networks and is known as a division of XO Communications. It may even qualify as a micro business. For example, you are a company which has distribution of agricultural products based in Laredo, Texas. What you will need is to have to effectively operate your business in the greater U.S. territories is to have a network of collocation branches. In each of these collocation branches, you need to log on to the Internet and in order to coordinate. You can either use voice over IP service or use the other means – you can also use MPLS private network service or point to point T1.

In XO Colo setup, all the computers in Laredo are directly networked to other computers in the same cloud provided by the master solution provider or business phone service provider. The computers in Laredo can be seen by persons working in all of the collocation branches around the globe whether you are in Chile, Buenos Aires, Falkland, McMurdo Sound, Scandinavia, Tonga, Phuket or Mallorca. That’s because master solution providers – or business phone service providers in the United States nowadays – already have point to point T1. That’s because a T1 connection has lots of variants, depending on the speed of the company you are in.

Datacenters are the nerve of any enterprise hosting server. Most datacenters are usually located in London and for a peculiar reason, they choose nearer the bank of River Thames. These datacenters are composed of huge supercomputers with its own rows of backup batteries housed in almost a hundred specially-built freezers. XO Communication is not an exception. But what makes this business phone service provider even better is that it has its own division, XO Colo, which caters to businesses with various collocation branches around the globe.

That is why the company where I’m working has subscribed to XO Colo’s T3 connection (which uses DS3) for the past three years. And it has churned out with huge profits. In fact, XO Colo is likewise dedicated to voice over IP service. The process here is that an MIS team from XO Colo will install the bundled products and services that you are subscribed to in each of your collocation and will likewise tutor your employees on how to better handle the products and services. In other words, that is already free initial technical support. Mind you, the installation fee is waived on top of that. Now, imagine if you got a hundred branches around the globe. All you have to do is handle the travel and lodging expenses of the MIS team, you don’t have to pay more. The next billing will be on the second month of the bundled package. Isn’t that amazing?
