Colocation (COLO)
COLO allows businesses to host their own servers and equipment in a professional data center environment. Instead of building and maintaining their own facilities, organizations rent secure space inside a carrier-neutral data center, ranging from a single rack unit (1U) to full racks or cages.
By colocating with CANIX, peers benefit from a turnkey solution to POP a metro and peer.
DETAILS & ADVANTAGES OF Colocation

Reliability & uptime
Professional data centers are built with redundant power, advanced cooling systems, and around-the-clock monitoring, ensuring high availability and uninterrupted operations.
-
Connectivity options
Carrier-neutral colocation sites offer direct access to multiple ISPs, cloud platforms, and Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), giving businesses flexibility, redundancy, and optimized routing for their traffic.
