The cost of co-location is determined based on the number of units to be placed in the rack, the amount of internet bandwidth required for the business, and how much of the relocation will be managed by your IT department. The cost is broken into two major components:

The business must elect to use their own IT personnel for the support or, if the business has minimal IT staff, our sister company, uptimeLV, Inc. at www.uptimelv.com offers a full menu of support and maintenance plans all customized for the unique characteristics of each business.
