If your company is ready to invest in server equipment, but you're unable to accommodate or maintain the hardware on-site, then you've got an important decision to make.
Do you "co-locate" or get your own dedicated server?
Dedicated servers can only operate to their full potential if they're running from an environment that provides a high speed internet connection, together with performance and temperature monitoring.
But companies that offer a co-location service for pre-purchased hardware tend to be both expensive and restrictive.
By running a server from a "co-located" environment you may be increasing costs unnecessarily by paying for hardware, depreciation and on-site maintenance that could end up costing you and your business a lot more than anticipated.
No need to co-locate
At DNN4Less you can have full server control of a leading dedicated server that enjoys all the advantages of a managed environment, without purchasing the hardware outright, or paying anything extra for accommodation, maintenance and updates.
Housed in DNN4Less' dedicated data centre, you take full control of a dedicated server that can be used for any purpose, experiencing the very highest levels of performance, uptime and security.

Capital expenditure
By pursuing the co-location option, companies are required to buy all the necessary server equipment up front, which can impact on a company's budgeted capital expenditure.

- With DNN4Less you can take control of an up-to-date dedicated server from only $149.99/pm.

Hardware depreciation
The exponential rate of technological change in the server component market means that once systems are bought, they will quickly depreciate. By taking responsibility for the server equipment that depreciates, we alleviate the burden for customers by making sure hardware is kept in perfect working order.
Overall maintenance
In a co-located environment, a company must take steps to ensure they have a disaster recovery solution in place in the event of equipment failure. For a truly robust solution, a company needs, at a minimum, a ready spare for every component in the configuration on hand, as well as level 3 technicians ready to diagnose and address the problem.
Specializing in dedicated server hosting, DNN4Less has all the necessary equipment, multiple spares of every component and level 3 technicians on hand 24/7/365 to ensure that our customers receive the best service.
Network
Companies who choose co-location will have to recreate network infrastructure which can also be very expensive. At DNN4Less though, we’ve tackled this problem:
| |
- We offer a multi-homed network through several providers to ensure that we are not completely reliant on any one provider should they experience network problems.
- Customer data will always reach its destination in the shortest time possible and with minimal packet loss.
- Our network is powered by Cisco, with monitoring and redundant systems which allows us to deliver 100% infrastructure availability.

Risk
The upfront costs associated with co-location, plus the tying up of funds into hardware, re-creating the network, hardware depreciation and failure, as well as hiring staff to man it all, commits resources into just one area of the business. In doing so, this inherently means a lot of risk for a company. With DNN4Less though, you can reduce this risk:
By taking over the management of our customers' hosting environment, DNN4Less alleviates the pressure on internal IT staff, freeing up resources to be re-deployed into more profitable areas.
