Colocation services

Realise the cloud-like benefits of lower costs and improved security with data centre solutions, colocation services and server hosting from BT.

Overview

What is Colocation?

Support your business initiatives with colocation and data centre services from BT.

Recent move towards hybrid and multi-cloud solutions means that the cloud is already an important enabler for enterprise IT delivery. Still, some organisations are hesitant to move their existing on-premises infrastructures, whether it be for security and/or compliance issues or due to workloads that don’t suit virtualised platforms.

Thankfully there is also a middle ground option - a hybrid cloud solution, including colocation – renting server space in a data centre. Our colocation solution gives you a highly secure, highly available data centre solution for your IT, across the globe.
