Data Center Co-Location

Host your technology infrastructure in one of OU IT’s Tier II or Tier III Data Center facilities (Norman, Health Sciences, and Tulsa).  Data Center Co-Location Services offers a secure Data Center hosting environment that features reliable high-speed networking, redundant power and cooling, and scalable rack-space, as well as escorted physical access to your equipment.

Co-location is available for most rack mountable infrastructure equipment, including servers, storage, networking and firewall devices.  Our Data Centers can accommodate non-rack mountable devices; however, the equipment owner is responsible for providing appropriate shelving.  All equipment in OU IT Data Centers will undergo periodic vulnerability scans.

Please set up a consultation to discuss advanced set-up and configurations such as clustering or co-location in multiple Data Centers.  For additional information about Data Center and Support service levels, please review OU IT’s Shared Services Terms and Conditions.
