Comparing Shared vs. Dedicated Colocation Racks in India

Blog Article

Choosing the right colocation model is key when hosting your servers in a data center. Two popular options are shared racks and dedicated racks. Both come with distinct features, costs, and benefits—depending on your business size and compliance needs.






???? What’s the Difference?




  • Shared Rack Colocation: You rent only a portion (e.g., 1U, 2U, etc.) of a rack. Other companies' servers are hosted in the same physical rack.




  • Dedicated Rack Colocation: You get the entire rack (42U/48U) for your exclusive use, offering full control over space, power, and cabling.
