   Any business who is looking for reliable connections to the internet for their server hosting options can subscribe to our services.
2. How does the service work?
   Please contact one of our sales associates and they will see what space we have available in our server rooms. If approved, you can bring your server to our location and have it connected to the Internet on our network.
3. Does Storm have a DataCentre?
   

   Increasingly, organizations are recognizing the benefits of colocating their mission-critical equipment within a data centre. Colocation is becoming very popular because of the time and cost savings a company can realize as result of using shared data centre infrastructure. With IT and communications facilities in safe, secure hands, Internet, ASP and content providers can enjoy less latency and the freedom to focus on their core business.

   Additionally, customers reduce their traffic back-haul costs and free up their internal networks for other uses. Also, by outsourcing network traffic to a colocation service provider with greater bandwidth capacity, web site access speeds will improve considerably.

   We can house your equipment, anywhere from a single tower or 1U server to a full 42U rack cabinet at very competitive rates.

   Call today and find out how we can help drive your business.

4. How long does this take to get setup?
   Storm can have you operational and connected to the Internet same day if required. Please contact our sales staff.
