Colocation - Infrastructure
The colocation (colo) service is available here within the WNYRIC data center. Your district can rent space for servers and other computing hardware here. WNYRIC will provide the building, rack space, cooling, power, bandwidth, monitoring of the device and physical security while the customer provides the hardware. We have created a safe, off-site location for your needs. Automated alerts are used to notify the owner of any discovered problems; however, WNYRIC staff is not able to access the data or OS on the devices.
Please refer to service code 650.895 for full service details.
