Why Managed Colo

Why Managed Colocation (Platform Hosting) over traditional Colo

A Quick Comparison to Highlight the more Obvious Advantages

There is no other colo offering that promises and delivers what Rackspace Managed Colocation does. Sure, some top tier colo providers offer some of the services. But none of them can come close to providing everything that Rackspace Managed Colocation does. They cannot deliver the expertise, around-the-clock support and industry-leading SLAs that you need behind your infrastructure.

The fact that Rackspace Managed Colocation doesn't require the massive upfront capital outlay for hardware makes it all the more appealing.
