Want your servers out of the office and into a proper data centre, without managing a data centre contract yourself? With managed colocation from Sydney Technology Solutions, your own servers move into an Equinix data centre in Sydney, and the network, security and hands-on support are handled by the same STS team that manages them, for one flat monthly fee.
What’s included
Secure data centre space
Rack space in an Equinix data centre in Sydney, with dual (A+B) power feeds and redundant cooling.
A dedicated private network
Your servers sit on their own private network, separated from other clients.
Managed firewall
A business-grade firewall with public IP addressing, configured, monitored and kept up to date by us.
Shared high-speed internet
Fast data centre internet, subject to fair use.
Site-to-site connectivity
Secure links between the data centre and your offices.
Hardware and environment monitoring
We watch your servers’ hardware health so failing parts are found early.
STS engineers on site
When hardware needs attention, our engineers attend. No remote-hands fees and no access arrangements for you to make.
Server management, backup, security software and Microsoft licensing are provided under their own services, so you only pay for what you use.
A managed service, not just rack space
We don’t rent out empty racks. Managed colocation means one accountable team looks after your servers, network, backup and support, so there’s no finger-pointing between vendors and no data centre contract for you to sign or manage.
| STS managed colocation | Do-it-yourself colocation | |
|---|---|---|
| Network and firewall | Managed by STS, included | You buy and manage your own |
| Hardware failure | STS engineers attend on site | You book paid remote hands or travel in |
| Billing | One flat monthly fee | Rack, power, bandwidth and remote hands billed separately |
| Contract | Through STS | You sign the data centre contract |
Prefer not to own the hardware at all? Our private cloud hosting runs your servers on our infrastructure in the same data centre.
How pricing works
- Based on your footprint: the number of servers, the rack space they use and their average power draw, measured directly from each server.
- Reviewed yearly: we re-measure each year and adjust if servers have been added, removed or changed significantly.
- No surprises: any annual price change follows data centre cost increases, with at least 30 days’ notice.
