Building, managing, upgrading, securing and protecting a data centre infrastructure can be very costly and time-consuming for any organization, and these tasks often distract key personnel from core business initiatives.

To solve this problem, Bell provides co-location hosting services that allow customers to leverage a world-class data centre infrastructure that offers security, reliability and flexibility.

Our co-location services allow you to install your equipment in one of Bell's state-of-the-art data centres, where Bell's data centre experts monitor everything from power to the cabinet to cooling the entire environment.

Placing your data centre infrastructure with Bell will help your organization reduce costs for power, space and cooling while you take advantage of the security, reliability and flexibility that Bell's data centres are known for.

With co-location hosting from Bell, you benefit from:

24/7/365 on-site staff
Direct, high-speed connections to the Internet that are highly scalable
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and power generators that mitigate downtime due to a single point of failure
Enhanced cooling systems
Pre-action fire suppression systems
The availability of value-added services such as security and backup services

Additionally, when you co-locate your equipment in a Bell data centre, Bell offers your organization access to point-to-point connectivity into your hosting environment. This managed Internet connection is enabled with failover redundancy and monitoring tools to give you constant visibility and access to your hosting environment.

Your co-location hosting needs supported by Bell investments in new data centres across Canada

Bell has launched a national initiative to increase the size of its data centre footprint in order to meet the growing needs of our enterprise and mid-market customers for co-location, hosting and managed services in Canada. Bell now has six state-of-the-art data centres throughout the Montréal, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver regions, with construction underway for a new data centre in the Ottawa region.

Why Bell?

As the leading network provider in the country, serving more than 90 percent of Canada's top 1,000 businesses, Bell is in a unique position that combines the data centre and the network to deliver exceptional performance.

This combination of network and data centre expertise provides an unrivalled solution for enterprises requiring data security and application performance.

Bell's network processes 90 percent of Canadian debit and credit transactions, and more than 80 percent of the country's Internet traffic. Other providers who focus on only network or data centre are unable to offer the same seamless combination of security and performance.
