If you have ever pondered over the idea of hiring Housing services then you'll know what we're talking about, but if not, no worries, we'll tell you in just a little bit.
Â
Housing services consist of physically installing an IT server in data center facilities, such as those of Uniway in the center of Madrid, in exchange for an economic payment for the space used to that end.
It is in fact a great option for medium-sized and big companies, since that way they can keep their digital assets in an adequate and safe environment
Why should my company hire housing services?
There are many reasons to acquire housing services, but nontheless today we're going to focus on those we deem the most important.
- Firstly, and as could not be otherwise, SECURITY. Ensuring data security is a priority and Housing services offer you the highest security measures a data center includes. Here we're talking about 24h surveillance, security doors, protected rocks, staff available, restricted and controlled access, etc. Those are quite the features that would imply huge costs for any company.
Â
- Next we shall highlight PRIVACY. Although we find ourselves in the Cloud era, housing services are irreplaceable and offer higher privacy as we just saw previously. Data is hosted on your very own separate machine with limited and exclusive access. It isn't in any third-party online services.
Â
- Another of the aspects that we may highlight is CONNECTIVITY and ELECTRICITY. When hiring housing services, it already includes the necessary bandwith, something difficult to find in common facilities. Regarding electricity, the power supply must be precise and with no failures. In case of failure, it is key to have equipment that ensures service continuity. Having that in any company's facilities is almost unfeasible.
Â
- Last, but not least, two other aspects such as ROOM and CONDITIONING. Although it may seem like "knowledge does not take any space"... racks and servers have important needs and as the company grows, they also grow. The room conditioning needs of servers are at the very least very particular and cannot be altered. The space they are in must always keep certain constant temperature and cooling. That's possible in a specialized data center, but extremely complex out of that option.
