CUSTOMER SERVER HOSTING
Secure colocation services for your server equipment
When downtime is not an option, our fully redundant Datacenter facilities are the perfect place for the colocation and hosting of your business’ critical servers and related network hardware.
Understanding Colocation and Managed Server Hosting
Server hosting is also known as colocation (collocation, co location, co-location or colo). Server Hosting / Colocation services are provided when you place any server or other networking device such as a firewall, switch or router into a rack or cabinet at a datacenter facility.
In addition to providing rack space, we also provide the supporting routing, power and bandwidth/connectivity required to make the server accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Colocation services provide any company (large or small) with a fantastic alternative to hosting servers in their office environment. Generally speaking, most corporate office parks and commercial buildings are more susceptible to unannounced, extended power and connectivity outages. This not only cripples productivity, but can easily be avoided by moving critical systems to a remote datacenter location that is accessible from anywhere, anytime, day or night.
Mosaic offers a variety of different space options for a full range of client colocation services needs. Our clients pay a monthly fee plus setup for the space (number of Rack Units or U space), total power provided and bandwidth connection.

Four Convenient Datacenter Facilities
Colocation & Server Hosting Cost Factors
There are generally three costs associated with colo services – rackspace fees, power and bandwidth / connectivity fees.
- Rackspace Fees – are the fees associated with having your server located in a rack/cabinet at our datacenter. Ranging from 1U to a full rack, this measurement is the height of the server(s) being hosted. Most servers come in either 1U or 2U configurations. Servers with a large number of harddrives can be as big as 3U or 4U.
- Power – Mosaic can provide you with many levels of Managed Network services when your server is colocated in our facility. These services range from standard monitoring and backup services to monthly patch mangement and updates support. We also provide hourly service and assistance with software installations and hardware management.
- Bandwidth – Mosaic will provide you with unmetered bandwidth connectivity in virtually any capacity required. Ranging form 1Mbps to 100Mbps and up to 1Gbps…we can deliver connectivity. We can also provide Point to Point connections from the datacenter to your place of business so you can maintain an high level of business continuity. Additionally, our bandwidth can be easily scaled up or down as required so you always have as much connectivity as your business demands.
Colocation & Server Hosting Pricing Options
There are four common options for purchasing cabinet and rack space within the datacenters:
- Single Server – The single server options allows for up to 2U rackspace in a shared, vented, locking enclosure and is not offered in all datacenter facilities. It is the most convenient option for moving any single server out of the office and into a full service datacenter.
- Quarter Cabinet – The quarter cabinet is a 10U (18″) private or shared, vented, locking enclosure and is not offered in all datacenter facilities. It is generally the smallest size in which you can rent colocation services and is often provided by dividing up a full cabinet.
- Half Cabinet – A half cabinet is a 21U (36.75″) private or shared, vented, locking enclosure that is just over half the size of a full cabinet. Just as with the full cabinet, a half cabinet will come furnished with a power distribution unit (PDU), however the customer is expected to provide any rack rails or shelves needed to organized their equipment inside the cabinet as well as any ethernet cables required for networking the equipment.
- Full Cabinet – The full cabinet is a 42U (73.5″) private, vented, locking enclosure that is used to store all of your servers. The cabinet will come furnished with a power distribution unit (PDU), however the customer is expected to provide any rack rails or shelves needed to organized their equipment inside the cabinet as well as any ethernet cables required for networking the equipment.
Mosaic offers a variety of different server hosting options for a full range of colocation services needs. You pay a monthly fee plus setup for the number of rack units, total power provided and bandwidth commit.
