Co-location or server housing means the secure storage of important IT hardware (such as servers, routers, firewalls or central switches) in a secure, central data center. In a high-security data center, all systems are designed to be at least double (redundant) and are monitored 24×7 at 365 days.

Upon request, IT service providers such as Biteno GmbH can also handle the complete management, software maintenance and system support of the affected devices.
