How a growing startup scaled with colocation

A client needed more control and better infrastructure than cloud hosting could provide.

Here's how colocation solved their infrastructure challenges.

  1. 1

    The Challenge

    They needed dedicated hardware for compliance and performance, but cloud hosting was too expensive and didn't meet their security requirements.

  2. 2

    The Solution

    They moved to colocation with PlanetNode, bringing their own servers to our data center. This gave them full hardware control while benefiting from enterprise-grade infrastructure.

  3. 3

    The Result

    They now have dedicated hardware with predictable costs, better performance, and full compliance. As they grow, they can easily add more rack space.

Result

Dedicated hardware with predictable costs. Better performance and compliance. Scalable infrastructure as they grow.
