Data center colocation services • Why is colocation becoming imperative for most businesses – As server storage and processing capacity increase so is the electric energy required to power the servers and to cool them down – High bandwidth connectivity required for some applications is readily available in data centers – Data centers are becoming increasingly complex enough to compel most businesses to colocate their servers instead of building and maintaining their own data centers – By colocating businesses take advantage of economies of scale and maintain their servers at lower cost per server without the huge upfront cost required for building a data center – Small and mid sized businesses without the in-house skills and financial muscle to build a data center resort to colocation – According to IDC some companies with data center budgets of up to 10 Million also colocate. By having a provider look after their servers they can focus more on their key business activities • Why would you need Fiberguide – There are thousands of data centers scattered throughout the world making it a challenge for IT managers to sift through the multitudes of providers locations of their data centers and their specifications – We have the tools to quickly search through thousands of data centers to identify the service that best meet your location and specification requirements. – IT managers can take advantage of our services as if we were an extension of their teams at no charge to them. 3 © Fiberguide 2017 fiberguide1

Wide area networking WAN solutions • Leveraging dozens of carriers we work with Fiberguide can help you identify the best solution to connect your geographically dispersed locations using one of several options • Private leased lines – For a secure dedicated point to point physical connection between two geographically dispersed locations a private line may be an option. Private lines include T1/T3 leased lines and dark fiber. • Carrier Ethernet – Leveraging on broad market penetration Ethernet technology has become very cost efficient. If your locations are within a provider’s Ethernet network you could get high bandwidth at lower prices than competing technologies • MPLS Multiprotocol Label Switching is a protocol used to speed up and shape network traffic flows. – MPLS is the most widely deployed WAN technology available today and several key providers in your area likely have it. • SD-WAN – Software defined WAN is increasingly becoming an important technology to take advantage of the inexpensive public Internet for secure and reliable data communications. • The Fiberguide Advantage – We can let you know which WAN services are in your area and propose and provide a quotation for the most effective solution.
