Colocation RFP Process Management

Colocation sites can provide a cost-effective alternative to building a new data center. They can also give companies quick access and a higher Tier Level than they may have in-house, better geographical diversity, as well as improved redundancy and security.

When you work with Forsythe to write your colocation RFP, you will be able to easily compare facilities in an “apples to apples” way. Forsythe helps you first examine where you are in terms of the following:

Business growth
IT needs
Network growth
Legal & regulatory considerations
Security issues
Geographic boundaries

As you engage in these discussions, Forsythe will help you decide what is essential in order to meet your business and IT needs.
