Making a decision on how to handle your IT Infrastructure can be a difficult one and one in which requires some planning. It is important that you understand all of your options before purchasing or renting your equipment.

One of the most common problems in communicating the value of managed colocation is undervaluing the time and cost of keeping your server up and running. Sure the cost of buying a server is relatively inexpensive but the costs to operate it can be overwhelming. There are many factors that go into the costs of operating a server but they all fall into one of four categories:

• Housing and Protecting
• Monitoring and Tracking
• Responding and Repairing
• Preventative Measures
