How hosted data center leasing works

A hosted data center, also known as a colocation data center, leases space to customers who own their servers. The facility supplies the building, power, cooling, security, and network connections, and the customer keeps control of the hardware and its maintenance.

There are two common models:

• Retail colocation. Smaller footprints such as a rack, a cage, or a suite, serving many customers in one facility.
• Wholesale colocation. Larger blocks of space and power for big users, including cloud and hyperscale operators.

Why companies look at Fairfax

• Close to Washington, D.C. Fairfax County is next to the capital, which suits government contractors and businesses that serve federal customers.
• Established office market. Many technology, professional services, and healthcare organizations are based in the county, so an on-site or nearby data center can be convenient for IT teams.
• Highway access. Major roads such as I-66 and the Capital Beltway are nearby for visits to your equipment.

Industries that use hosted data centers

Banking and finance, insurance, healthcare, retail and e-commerce, and mortgage and lending companies all rely on data centers for backup and recovery, transaction processing, and record keeping. Smaller businesses often choose colocation because it avoids the cost of building their own server room.
