In today’s digital age, reliable colocation hosting providers are essential pillars supporting businesses’ IT infrastructure. Among these stalwarts is Colocation America, established in 2000 with a clear vision: to deliver top-tier colocation services seamlessly integrated into any organization’s operations. With its primary data centers located in Los Angeles, California, the company has earned an esteemed reputation for excellence. From connectivity to hosting space and hardware, the company provides the essential building blocks for businesses to flourish in the digital landscape.

Albert A. Ahdoot, Director of Business Development of Colocation America, spoke exclusively to CIO Bulletin about how he and his team of experts are providing clients with scalable, reliable, and affordable colocation plans in major connectivity hubs around the US.

The Inception of Colocation America

Colocation America’s journey began with a fundamental need for dependable hosting, much like that experienced by their clients. “We understood the challenges firsthand. With the aid of key partnerships and the expertise of their IT professionals, Colocation America came into existence,” recalls Albert A. Ahdoot, Director of Business Development of the company.

“At Colocation America, we are dedicated to providing state-of-the-art data center services complemented by unparalleled customer support, ensuring 100% uptime. Our relentless focus on customer success has propelled us from a single data center location in downtown Los Angeles to a network of facilities across the U.S.,” Albert notes.

He finds their journey remarkable, yet believes it marks just the beginning of their growth. Albert expresses his confidence that they will continue to evolve and expand to better meet the needs of their clients.

Fortifying Success with “The Foundation”

In the whirlwind of digital innovation, data centers stand as unsung heroes, silently powering the technology that drives our world forward. Albert A. Ahdoot, the visionary leader behind Colocation America, understands this significance all too well, recognizing the vital role these centers play in businesses’ daily operations.

“At Colocation America, we’re not just about providing services; we’re about building relationships,” says Albert. With a nod to the pervasive influence of data center services in our lives, he acknowledges that while awareness is growing, true understanding remains elusive for many.

“The Foundation” — a concept as solid as the bedrock it represents. Albert paints a vivid picture, explaining, “It encompasses secure space, power, and connectivity, serving as the backbone of reliability and stability in the digital realm.” This isn’t just about infrastructure; it’s about peace of mind for clients, knowing their digital assets are in safe hands.

Albert’s passion for “The Foundation” shines through as he speaks of its transformative power. He explains, “We recognize that a strong foundation is essential. It’s this recognition that fuels Colocation America’s unwavering commitment to delivering top-notch service to every client, every time. By prioritizing secure space, power, and connectivity, we provide our clients with peace of mind. They can focus on growing their businesses, knowing we’ve got their back.”

Colocation America’s Unique Approach to Service Provision

In the vast landscape of technology, no two businesses are alike. Recognizing this diversity, Colocation America offers a comprehensive suite of services tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. From colocation to dedicated servers and IP services, the company’s offerings are designed to provide scalability, reliability, and flexibility in equal measure.

“We understand that every client is unique, with their own set of requirements and objectives. That’s why we focus on delivering exactly what they need, precisely when they need it,” says Albert

At the heart of Colocation America’s service philosophy lies a commitment to adaptability. “Our services are built to offer scalability and reliability. Whether a client requires colocation for their own hardware, rental of our equipment, or simply connectivity to a specific ISP, Colocation America is equipped to deliver. In the tech world, things change rapidly. We work closely with our clients to establish the best data center solution for their needs today, not years down the line.”

This forward-thinking approach ensures that clients have the flexibility to pivot and adapt to changing circumstances without being tied down by rigid contracts or outdated infrastructure. “Perhaps today, a client needs colocation services for a backup solution. But in six months, they may require a dedicated server to test a new app. Whatever the case may be, we’re here to help,” states Albert.

Colocation America’s State-of-the-Art Data Centers

In the vibrant world of technology, data centers stand as silent architects, crafting the digital highways that define our modern landscape.

“Not all data centers are created equally. Some are enriched with network connections from every major ISP in the world,” Albert says. He reminds us that beyond the rows of servers and flickering lights lie stories of resilience and innovation, each data center a testament to human ingenuity and adaptability.

For Albert, the true essence of data centers lies not in their technical prowess, but in their ability to foster connections and nurture communities. But what truly sets Colocation America’s data centers apart is their unwavering commitment to human-centered innovation. The company is constantly evolving, fortifying security measures, expanding power infrastructure, and adding more network connections to meet the ever-changing needs of their clients.

Safeguarding Your Digital Fortress

Security and reliability stand as pillars of Colocation America’s ethos, anchoring their commitment to safeguarding client data and infrastructure. “At Colocation America, security is paramount. Our experts have dedicated countless hours to crafting a resilient framework that prioritizes client uptime above all else.”

Albert explains that their data centers are SSAE18 SOC2 Certified, HIPAA, PCI, and ISO Compliant—a testament to their unwavering commitment to meeting the highest industry standards. These certifications ensure that both physical and network security measures are in place, backed by robust processes to address any emergency swiftly and effectively. Also, the security measures implemented by Colocation America transcend mere compliance—they represent a promise of trust and reliability.

Uniting Nationwide Reach with Personalized Service

Expanding data center services across the United States presents a myriad of challenges, from varying infrastructure to diverse landscapes and staffing. “At Colocation America, we recognize that no two data centers are alike. Whether it’s size, power sources, or physical terrain, each data center offers its own set of characteristics that shape the client experience.”

Albert underscores the company’s commitment to transparency, highlighting their honest approach in presenting the advantages and disadvantages of each data center to clients. “We believe in providing consistent customer service and a human touch. When clients reach out to us through Live Chat or phone, they’re greeted by a real person on the other end. Each client receives personalized attention and support,” Albert assures, emphasizing the importance of building lasting relationships based on trust and reliability.
