Data centre value added services

Data centre value added services

Services you can rely on

Colt DCS realises that increasing your workloads will be more distributed, and whether you are an enterprise running a national or global operation or in remote locations or a cloud or service provider that needs to reach across different territories, your teams cannot always be everywhere at the same time. That is where our on-site engineers come to help.

For those that are on site, we also offer office space and customer experience rooms so you can treat Colt DCS as an extension of your own office.

Our vetted professionals offer a range of support services that enable you to get on with running your business. We can help you run your environment with a range of professional services and flexible options, with office space, Internet access, conference facilities and AV equipment.
