Game Server Colocation

With game server colocation, you own the game server and colocate it in a datacentre. Game server colocation means you have complete physical control over the game server, while taking advantage of cost-effective and superior datacentre infrastructure - physical security, humidity and temperature control, air filtration, fire suppression, power and connectivity redundancy, quality burstable bandwidth. You can use services such as server and port monitoring, reboots, intrusion detection and prevention, storage, backup and firewall. Game server colocation at a quality datacentre improves business continuity and reduces network latency, at a fraction of the cost it takes to accomplish the same in a private datacentre.

Games often use standard hardware, operating system and software configurations. That means that you can lease a dedicated server and get all the advantages of a datacentre without the cost of owning a game server. With a dedicated server, a game host can upgrade to a more powerful server quickly and easily, and when the time comes, move to a server cluster or a cloud configuration. But if you develop games or use unusual configuration, and live near a datacentre, game server colocation is probably your best choice.
