Due to customer demand, we have created this service around what you have asked for:
"Is there any way I can keep some equipment cold at your facility in case my main equipment goes down?"
The answer is now "YES". Whether you have co-lo with us or host your servers somewhere else "Shadow" can save
you in the event of an issue with your primary servers/equipment/datacenter. Our "shadow" service is the same as
our other co-lo services except your equipment is all kept powered off until needed. It's a "Cold Spare" that you
can turn on quickly if needed. Why a "cold spare" instead of a "hot spare"? Very simple, its WAY less
expensive. Our cold spare services are up to less than half the cost of co-location, and it's no different. Your
equipment sits in the same cabinets or racks we sell for co-location. You have the same network connections, and
the same unlimited no-cost X-Connects. The only difference is that normally your equipment remains off. We
allow up to 24 hours of powered up time per month for you to perform maintenance and testing.
Should the need arise to turn up the shadow equipment, we simply power it up and bill you for the month as if you
had normal colo with us. No surprises. No emergency "got-cha" charges, just a standard month.
Shopping around? Remember, unlike our competitors we don't lock you in to a contract term. You co-locate on a
month-to-month basis. We don't need a contract to "lock you in" to us. Also, we have been in business since the
early 1991, how many other providers can say that?
There are different shadow plans, depending on how much space you need. Check the chart to see which one is right for you!
