| What you will need: |
| To set up VOIP Colocation you will
need phone service, Internet service, power, rack space for your
servers, VOIP PBX, and VOIP Gateway. VOIP Colocation is
the best way to setup your service because of the redundant
reliability and the huge cost savings over hosting the VOIP
hardware in your own facility. |
| A simple cost comparison analysis: |
| Consider that A T3 (45 Mbps) line at
your office or home would cost between $6,000 and $8,000 per
month. Two T3 lines would equal 90 Mbps for between
$12,000 and $16,000 at your home of office. In a
Colocation data center facility, 100 Mbps is only $1,500 per
month! Colocation is a fraction of the cost of bandwidth
at your location.
In addition, if you could hire one
person at your site to maintain your servers 24 hour day, you
would need three eight hour shifts, 7 days per week for a total
of 168 hours. This equals 4.2 people. At a salary of
$40,000 this comes to $168,00 per year! This adds an
additional $14,000 per month to maintain the servers. So,
if you only figure bandwidth and personnel, you would have to
spend at lease $28,000 per month at your facility, versus only
$1,500 per month for Colocation! |

VOIP Colocation
 |
|
Not only is VOIP Colocation much better quality than
hosting VOIP hardware in your own facility, it's a lot
less expensive as well. You can reap the great
benefits of huge economies of scale as all fiber is
already in place for the phone lines and the Internet
service. You can get 100 Mbps Internet connection
or more and it is much less expensive than what you
could get at your own site. |

Why Colocate VOIP equipment? When you calculate the cost for personnel, Internet
bandwidth, power, real estate, phone service, and
air-conditioning; you will receive tremendous economies of
scale as overhead cost is shared by the many customers in a
Colocation facility - literally a fraction or the cost you
would otherwise pay! With such large amounts of power
usage comes a tremendous amount of heat, thus requiring
special and very expensive air-conditioning units that you
won't find in a typical office building. Most
landlords won't permit you to add special
air-conditioning units, generators and power transformers to
a lease space. The landlord typically doesn't allow
you to do anything different than what every other tenant
has in the building as this makes your space harder to lease
to the next tenant. Taking all of these things into
consideration, in addition to having much better quality
service,
server colocation is much, much, less expensive and easier
than trying to locate your servers within your office space.
The VOIP
Challenge
With pressure to create efficiencies in
communications spending and cut overall costs, VOIP
customers customized VOIP and IP Telephony solutions. As an
expert telecom provider, you thoroughly assess their
requirements before making a recommendation, weighing the
best options that could meet their particular needs. You can
pinpoint exactly what solution should your customer needs –
but have you thought about where their technology will
reside?

The VOIP Solution
Communication is essential for
businesses to stay in touch with their customers, employees,
partners and vendors; however, telephone charges can add up
quickly! With the advent of VOIP and IP Telephony,
businesses can use the Internet to carry voice traffic,
virtually eliminating long-distance fees and improving
efficiency.
It’s important, however, to locate this
technology in a safe environment in order to protect their
data, restrict access, and avoid potential threats to its
stability. Locating this technology in your customers’
facility requires handling call switching, rerouting and
interfacing – which can be time-consuming and expensive.
Building their own facility to host the technology is
extremely complex and requiring serious capital investments.
For this reason, more and more companies are now
outsourcing. In outsourcing, the environment to support the
technology is as important as the technology itself. Many
colocation facilities only provide one choice of carrier,
however, more markets and more choice of carriers offer
optimum flexibility. The benefits of your customers having
access to multiple carriers include bandwidth management
allocation, availability, redundancy and fast-response
rerouting in case of failure. For this reason, it is in your
customers’ best interest (and your own) for you to add a
world-class neutral colocation infrastructure as part of
your recommended technology.
