Colocation is a service market historically developed by telecommunication companies and Internet service providers. When the companies started outsourcing the storage of their equipment, backup data and serve applications to IT  facilities, the data center and colocation center services became a separate market niche. There are different types of Colocation services – from colocation of a single computer (desktop or rack server, trough clustered and cloud setups to hosting IT enclosures cabinets.

The standard, minimum service provided by colocation centers (data centers) is a single server housing which usually features: space in a IT enclosure, one power outlet, access to Internet service, industrial power and cooling infrastructure.
