Is Houston Colocation the Best Choice for Texas IT Companies?

Sponsored by DataCenterLeadGen.com

With a robust economy and historically strong fiber connections,


it is a natural fit that Houston is home to 24 of the Fortune 500 companies


The question is: does your colocation center need to be in close proximity to your office?


Many companies say yes and want to be near their data center;


these people are affectionately referred to as ‘server huggers’


Having quite a few top ranked tier 2, tier 3, and tier 4 data center colocation facilities in the Houston area makes these server huggers extremely happy


What Are People Looking for in a Data Center


When deciding on a Houston colocation data center, there are several important issues customers will inquire about and ponder:


• What kind of power and telecommunications redundancy does the data center have?


• How easy is it for a business to start small, say one rack, and grow into a private cage?


• What kind of network security does the data center offer?


• What kind of physical security does the data center offer?


• What really are the client’s needs?


Running a colocation facility is about understanding the client’s business and needs, perhaps better than they understand


Houston Colocation Data Centers


Clients looking for a local colocation center have not only a wide array to choose from,


but also benefit from the competition among these facilities


Data centers also benefit from this friendly competition in that technology will make larger advances when you must fight for customers


Another benefit to already having all these data centers in the Houston area is that the power sources have already been put into place


Back to the Original Question


When IT companies in the Houston area are looking for the ideal colocation data centers,


they wonder if staying in close proximity is the best choice for them,


and the answer is a resounding YES, a Houston colocation data center is an ideal place to house their IT and other computer based functions


Does your data center love IT companies or would you rather work with non-techie clients?
