In this increasingly complex virtual world, more and more are starting to recognize that the physical needs of IT companies are served more economically by colocation. Time and cost savings alone that are achieved in colocation are just too generous to ignore. As a matter of fact, some companies moved to nearby sites just to obtain better savings performance. In the Atlanta Data Center sites, for instance, there were companies who moved from the 56 Marietta Street center to 55 Marietta because of costs. But there were others who moved the other way due to some other reasons and benefits.

Whatever are the reasons, the Atlanta colocation centers rank next only to New York centers in all aspects as measured by several colocation evaluation systems. There are even aspects which Atlanta colocation centers surpass New York’s, such as, as mentioned above, cost.

For example, at about this time last year AmericanNac expanded its Atlanta Data Center facility number 2, adding 5,000 square feet of space to make available to custom users like a medicine store websites in various sizes. AmericanNac president Michael George remarked at the time that ‘CIOs and CTOs are maximizing their budgets in this environment of tight capital,’ so the move to Atlanta centers can afford them lower costs, savings they can devote to other critical areas of their enterprises. In a tight economy, such an expansion may not be viable without sufficient demand for data center space as that for Atlanta centers.

Atlanta IT center facilities were mostly designed to host three categories of enterprises, Tier 1 being the really huge companies like Verizon Wireless, the smaller Tier 2 like Peak 10, and the smallest Tier 3 are those that serve the requirements of enterprises that need Atlanta Cloud computing services to operate viably online. For these small web store companies, what matters are reliable uptimes, fast communication and dependable back-up systems in case of power failures and a few more, features that are expressly designed-in by Atlanta data centers for provider customers.

The Atlanta data centers are located near fiber optic connections ranging from 10 Gb to 1 Gb, providing higher than standard connection speeds. In terms of infrastructure, IT centers are usually furnished with state-of-the-art equipments that render greater bandwidth availability and usage while maintaining lower costs than other systems. Round-the-clock security via human guards is buttressed by the likes of key card entry systems, multiple CCTV cameras covering critical areas, biometric scanning for employees and clients and other measures, some of them proprietary. Redundant fire-warning systems and control methodologies, instant power backups, air conditioning to the correct levels, and data backup systems in detached locations to escape damage by occurrences in the main site are used as well for data protection purposes.

So any struggling middle, small, or large-size companies looking for cost-effective space to house their precious facilities, engaging data provider enterprises located at Atlanta data centers would be their best bet for continuous business uptime. It is the best bet in more ways than one.
