Our 'Colocation' for a PBX system in a data centre means that instead of hosting your PBX (Private Branch Exchange) server in your office premises, we will rent and place it inside a professional data centre facility that provides space, power, cooling, and internet connectivity.
🔹 What is Colocation with us?
- Colocation (colo) with us is where we rent physical space in a data centre to build you a PBX system or telecom equipment.
- The data centre provides infrastructure: power supply (with backup), cooling, fire protection, physical security, and high-speed internet.
- You will enjoy the PBX system, as it runs in a professional environment rather than inside your office server room.
🔹 How it works for a PBX system
- We will setup for you a PBX server with it's facilities in the data centre.
- The PBX connects to virtual SIP trunks or other telecom carriers directly from the data centre.
- Your office extensions (IP phones and softphones) connect to the PBX over secure internet.
- If you have multiple branches, they all connect to the same colocated PBX instead of installing one per office.
🔹 Advantages of Colocating PBX
- Reliability: Data centres have redundant power, cooling, and internet (better uptime than office server rooms).
- Connectivity: Easier to interconnect with telecom carriers (many are already present in data centres).
- Scalability: Adding more extensions or SIP trunks doesn’t rely on office bandwidth.
- Disaster Recovery: Your PBX is safe if your office loses power, internet, or suffers a fire/flood.
- Centralization: One PBX can serve many branches or remote users.
