Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is a colocation data center?

A colocation data center, or colo datacenter, is a facility where businesses can rent space for their servers and IT hardware. These data centers provide power, cooling, physical security, and high‑speed connectivity, allowing companies to maintain control over their infrastructure without the costs of maintaining their own facility.

2. How do colocation services work?

Colocation services allow you to install your own equipment (servers, storage, network gear) in a third‑party data center like 360TCS. We provide the physical environment, network options, and 24/7 support to ensure uptime and reliability. You retain ownership and control of your hardware while leveraging our infrastructure.

3. What are the benefits of high density colocation?

High density colocation supports more power per cabinet often 10kW to 20kW which is ideal for HPC, and modern compute‑heavy workloads. This allows you to maximize space, reduce latency, and improve operational efficiency. At 360TCS, we support up to 17kW per cabinet with advanced cooling and power redundancy.

4. What makes 360TCS different from other data center colocation companies?

Unlike many data center colocation companies, 360TCS offers a high‑touch, boutique experience with direct owner involvement, flexible cabinet configurations, and personalized support. We’ve maintained 100% uptime since 2008, with low‑latency connectivity, smart hands, and redundancy built in.

5. Is colocation better than cloud hosting?

For many businesses, colocation offers better control, performance, and cost predictability compared to cloud services. With rack space colocation, you avoid recurring cloud costs while retaining physical control over your hardware, which is especially important for compliance, security, and performance‑sensitive workloads.

6. What is included in rack space colocation?

Our rack space colocation plans include full, half, and quarter cabinets, redundant power feeds and cooling, and 24/7 access. Clients also benefit from smart hands support, customizable network setups, and low cross‑connection fees.

7. Who should use data center colocation services?

Data center colocation services are ideal for SMBs, financial firms, law practices, healthcare providers, MSPs, and any business that requires 100% uptime, physical control over infrastructure, and high reliability without the burden of building or managing a facility.

8. How secure is your colocation facility?

Security is a top priority at our colocation data center. We provide multi‑layer security including biometric access controls, 24/7 surveillance, mantrap entries, and continuous monitoring. Only authorized personnel are granted access, ensuring your infrastructure is always protected.

9. Can I scale my infrastructure easily at 360TCS?

Absolutely. Our colocation services are built for scalability. Start with a single cabinet and scale to multiple racks as your needs grow. We also support hybrid deployments and public cloud integration if you’re planning for future flexibility.

10. Do you offer disaster recovery and business continuity support?

Yes. 360TCS provides on‑site disaster recovery options including private office space to help you stay operational during outages or crises. We’re one of the few colo data centers that offer business continuity solutions with our colocation plans.

11. How much does colocation cost at 360TCS?

Pricing varies based on your power, space, and connectivity needs. However, we’re known for flexible, transparent pricing, and we waive all setup fees for new customers. Contact us for a free quote and cost comparison with your current infrastructure or provider.

12. Where is your colocation facility located?

Our primary colo datacenter is located in just outside Chicago, in nearby Lombard, IL, serving clients throughout the Great Lakes region including NW Indiana, SW Michigan, and SE Wisconsin. The location offers low‑latency access to major networks and is ideal for business continuity planning.

13. What is the difference between colocation and managed hosting?

In colocation, you own and manage your equipment in our facility. With managed hosting, the provider supplies and manages the hardware. At 360TCS, we also offer smart hands and technical assistance, so even colocation clients can enjoy many benefits of managed hosting.

14. How do I get started with colocation at 360TCS?

Getting started is easy. You can request a free tour, get a personalized quote, or book a discovery call to discuss your needs. We also offer a first month free with setup fees waived to make onboarding smooth and risk‑free.
