Atlanta Colocation Service Expansion
Colo4Atlanta is excited to announce the following expanded service offerings:
- Free cross-connects between all Colo4Atlanta datacenter tenants and partner POP’s, this includes access to our Virtual MMR. Since we have three physical MMR locations, we are including access between them via our switched (Virtual) MMR. This will now allow all tenants to exchange services with one another without additional on-going expenses. This service is free from Colo4Atlanta, however in some cases there may be a one-time setup fee for special configurations.
- Off-site NAS colocation now includes a 3rd location outside of both datacenters, the NAS arrays will be located in a secure cabinet in a secure room at one of our network POP’s. Currently this location has Gigabit connectivity and excess dark fiber to expand to greater capacity in the future.
Colo4Atlanta announces dedicated NAS arrays for colocation clients
Colo4Atlanta is now offering enterprise grade dedicated NAS arrays for both on and off-site colocation. For clients not using the shared Colo4Atlanta NAS/SAN due to compliance or other such issues, we now offer a 100% private dedicated storage solution.
Our base offering is a single NAS device with 3TB of disk storage at RAID 5, the NAS can be connected to a client’s backend network segment and configured for backup data storage or live data storage.
Customizable specs:
- Up to 4 SATA II hard drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, or JBOD
- Hotswap hard drives with auto-rebuild
- Gigabit network port
- Easy to use web-based device administration
When leasing a dedicated NAS system from Colo4Atlanta, you are also receiving dedicated management and maintenance as part of the service. Colo4Atlanta guarantees to always have appropriate spare parts on hand in the event of failure.
Colo4Atlanta NAS arrays are typically located in a restricted access cabinet in the same data center as the client equipment, however Colo4Atlanta can arrange to locate the device in a client’s cabinet (1u required) or totally off-site. Off-site NAS colocation locates the device in one of our other data centers or POP’s, the traffic to/from the device is then tunneled back into the client’s backend network over our metro fiber rings.
For clients interested in larger dedicated NAS/SAN systems, please contact sales as we currently offer solutions up to 24TB.
