ByteLok Data Center

ByteLok’s colocation facilities provide, as a retail rental business, on a term contract:
•lockable rack cabinets or cages
•power in a variety of formats
•network connectivity – our clients are connected through their own router for access to our 100mb full duplex fibre network
•cooling
•physical security (including video surveillance, electronic locking and badge access, logging)
•real-time live monitoring of all these functions for failures.

We also provide redundant systems for all of these features, to mitigate the problems if one or more of these systems fail

Among the economies of scale which result from grouping many small-to-midsized customers together in one facility are included:
•higher reliability due to redundant systems
•full time monitoring by live humans
•lower network latency and higher bandwidth at a lower cost
•specialist staff, like network and facilities engineers, which would not be cost effective for any single client to keep on the payroll

Major types of colocation customers we serve are:
•Web commerce companies, who use the facilities for a safe environment and cost-effective, redundant connections to the Internet
•Major enterprises, who use the facility for disaster avoidance, offsite data backup and business continuity
•Telecommunication companies, who use the facilities to exchange traffic with other telecommunications companies and access to potential clients
