COLOCATION & RACK SPACE
Why Choose STS for Colocation?
For modern businesses, investing in and maintaining a dedicated, in-house data center is a huge expense. Our colocation services at STS offer a smart alternative, providing the robust infrastructure, power, cooling, and security of a dedicated data center without the high costs. By housing your servers and IT equipment in our secure facility, your business can reduce capital expenditures and lower operational costs.
Your IT infrastructure in a secure, local facility
STS colocation offers the best of both worlds: the benefits of a cloud-like service combined with the direct physical control of your equipment. With 24/7/365 access, you and your team can get hands-on with your servers whenever you need, ensuring you always have total control over your systems. Our local, specialized support is a key differentiator. Unlike large cloud providers who offer impersonal customer service, STS provides direct, personal support. You'll speak to the local team that manages your data, ensuring a quick and effective response should any issues arise.
Colocation Cabinets: Protect Your Rack-Mount Servers
Our secure, high-density colocation cabinets are engineered to support and protect your valuable rack-mount servers, storage, and network equipment.
- High-Load Capacity: With extra space (40U), our high-density cabinets support your growing needs without extra costs.
- Optimal Airflow Management: Smart, efficient cooling systems are in place, with options for vertical exhaust ducts to manage high thermal loads.
- Advanced Security: Secure lock options, including biometric, combination, and key locks, protect your IT environment from unauthorized access.
- Flexible Setup: Distinct, repeatable rail designs simplify equipment adjustment, while multi-compartment units offer additional security.
Colocation Cages: Segment and Secure Your IT Environment
For businesses with more extensive hardware, our custom colocation cages offer additional security and space.
- Enhanced Segmentation: Wire mesh partitions are designed to safely separate and house your IT infrastructure.
- Customizable Power and Ventilation: We offer high-density power and flexible configurations for ventilation to meet your specific needs.
- Robust Lock Options: Choose from biometric, combination, or key locks to secure your cage.
Disaster Recovery Colocation for Business Continuity
No business can afford to ignore the risk of data loss. A robust disaster recovery (DR) plan is essential for protecting your organization from catastrophic events, from natural disasters to on-site equipment failures. Our colocation services create the critical off-site redundancy you need. By housing your servers and IT infrastructure in our highly secure, redundant data center, STS ensures your data is safely backed up and accessible, even if your primary location goes offline. This strategic separation provides a reliable failover and guarantees business continuity when it matters most.
Managed Hosting and Colocation Solutions by STS

Our customer-centric approach delivers customized platforms, services, and locations engineered to fit your exact needs. With STS, you gain a 24/7/365 managed services team with deep expertise. This is particularly valuable if your internal IT staff is limited or located far from our facility. We handle the physical infrastructure, including:
- Cabling and wiring

By offloading this complex work, your team is free to focus on core business objectives, confident that your IT resilience is professionally managed.
