WHY GO COLO?
Scalability & Flexibility DID YOU KNOW?
Businesses that require flexibility for growth or fluctuation will benefit from the services of a colocation data centre.
In January 2020, when the first case of COVID-19 was confirmed, business leaders around the world had no idea to what extent the pandemic would impact their companies. As millions of people were forced to work from home due to lockdowns, Zoom, a videoconferencing application, had to manage a major, unprecedented surge in demand and needed to scale up their operations in a short amount of time.

Zoom were able to absorb the impact of increased demand with minimal service disruptions thanks to a global hybrid cloud network of colocation data centres and other cloud resources that were running at around 50% of peak capacity prior to the pandemic.
