Aspects of Colocation Services and Cloud Computing in India

Chennai the land of opportunities. In the last decade we have seen a significant rise of I.T. industries in Chennai and they are growing by leaps and bounds. If we talk about the last 5 years, there has been a boom of start-ups some of which have turned into major I.T. companies and some are still struggling with the cyclone of their competitors.

While the I.T. sector grows in Chennai there occurs an increased need of ‘Colocation Services’ on the scene.cloud computing service providers in Chennai is Now available and  what is “Colocation Service” and why does an I.T. industry require it? These are the two basic questions that are bound to arise in your mind when you read the words Colocation Services. Colocation service could be of many types but the major use of colocation services is with respect to our Servers (servers are those big scary computers that must be better left to an expert, they are also the machines which provide you with internet services). Colocation simply means for a company to buy/rent a server in one of the existing data centre in the same city or maybe another city.colocation services in India are growing at the very rapid rate. Coming to the “Why?” part of the question, colocation gives you that freedom of owning a server and having no need to maintain it, in other words a company can buy a server computer from a colocation service provider and have full functional control over the server from their offices without having a need to place the machine in their premises. Benefits of Colocation:

·         Significant reduction in cost, this is what a company would want.

·         The company owning the server in the data centre has no role in maintaining the server

·         Most of the data centres in our country boast of an uptime of nearly 99.99%.

·         Enhanced security (Multi-level security).

There are a number of Colocation service providers in Chennai, this is why many I.T. industries are choosing Chennai as their base of operation.

Another field in I.T. sector that has been a dominating factor in the success of a company is “Cloud Computing”. As bizarre the term sounds, as easy is its meaning. Cloud computing makes use of server machines as a means of storing user’s data rather than storing it on user’s machine itself. Today is the world of Mobile Applications nothing on our mobile device can run until it has an app. for it, many of the modern Mobile Application developers use Cloud Computing to manipulate user data. Most of the people who have a smart phone are connected to internet, so it makes use of Cloud computing a necessity in order to save the hard drive space on user machines. Benefits of Cloud Computing:

·         Saves storage space on user machine.

·         No physical storage required on the user’s side.

·         Easy access of data both for user and developer.

·         Enhanced security of data.

·         Data accessible from anywhere to everywhere.

As I.T. industries make use of more and more clouds need for Cloud Computing service providers increase. If you are still wondering what might be your gig, well, this might just be it.
