You Should Be More Than a Lease Agreement In The Eyes Of Your Colocation Provider

Few roles are more stressful than leading an enterprise IT organization. You need a colocation provider who understands your needs and does what it takes to tailor a true partnership – and not simply be a tenant with a restrictive lease agreement who nickels-and-dimes you for standard support.

It Shouldn’t Be That Hard to Work with a Colocation Provider

As a seasoned IT leader, you know what you need, but why do some providers seem unwilling to budge to help you get there?

For instance:

Do lease agreements seem unnecessarily restrictive and complex?
Do you feel nickeled and dimed for what should be standard support?
Is it hard to replicate services in additional markets?

Most importantly, do you feel your most valued asset, your organization’s data, is receiving the care and attention it rightly deserves? At midnight, can you reach someone quickly when you have an issue? At midnight, does your provider reach out to you quickly when they see an issue? Few colocation providers are willing to go to the extra mile before and after install. In part, their ownership structure may not be aligned with your best interests.
