About this Service
"Co-Location" is an ITS service that allows departments and researchers at the University of Hawaii to locate and operate their computing hardware inside professionally maintained data centers on the Manoa campus.
Customer equipment will be housed at the Information Technology Center Data Center. This is a state of the art facility with advanced power, cooling and disaster avoidance features. Customers can pay for their own stand-alone cabinet, or can save money by only paying for the exact space (in rack units) that their equipment uses.
