Having a growing business is going to involve many, many decisions, and few are heavier than the way that you maintain your IT systems. Scaling the team, scaling the data, and systems - it all adds complexity, and in no time, you are under pressure to keep everything running. The server room in the back office is a solution at some point-and then it becomes a problem. This is where Colocation as a Service comes into play. If you heard of the term but are not sure what it means, or whether it applies to your business, this guide will show you how.

Hybrid infrastructure has stopped being a "strategy option" and become the default operating model for many engineering teams. Workloads are now routinely split across on-prem systems, private cloud environments, and public cloud platforms - not because it's elegant, but because it's necessary. The problem is that most private cloud providers weren't designed for this reality. They tend to optimise for either traditional virtualised infrastructure or public cloud abstraction layers, but not the messy middle ground where workloads need to move seamlessly across environments.
