The Bunker, provider of Ultra Secure Data Centre and Managed Services, are pleased to announce the launch of a range of Managed Colocation packages and bespoke solutions designed to meet the needs of organisations requiring flexible outsourcing options.

Managed Colocation (also known as colocation plus) bridges the gap between standard Colocation services and Fully Managed Solutions. The Bunkers’ Managed Colocation packages offer the benefits of the traditional outsource model; cost savings, security and availability as well as allowing clients to keep the ownership and management of the chosen components of their IT infrastructure.

The Bunkers Managed Colocation Packages start with a secure quarter rack with managed networking infrastructure including firewalling, switching, comprehensive data protection and monitoring package and scale up accordingly. Alternatively you may wish to tailor your own solution.

Paul Lightfoot, Director of Managed Services at The Bunker commented “Clients can achieve cost savings and improve security and resilience, as well as maintaining ownership and control of the core strategic expertise and infrastructure at the heart of their system which is paramount in the current economic climate. The Bunker has many examples of clients using Managed Colocation in differing options”.
