Colocation means running your own hardware in a third-party data center facility. Sanal Çekirdek never evaluates it in isolation: it is compared against on-premises infrastructure and suitable public cloud options within one placement decision.
Placement is the most expensive decision to reverse. When performance, data class, licensing model and dependencies are not measured up front, the cost does not surface in the first year — it surfaces in the third.
Not every workload belongs in the same place. Latency sensitivity, data class and legal location requirements, how the licensing model treats virtualization and core counts, integration dependencies and exit cost are weighted in one table. The decision follows criteria, not preference.
Hardware still under depreciation, workloads that need dedicated accelerators, cases where data location is fixed by contract, and steady loads whose unit economics are unpredictable in public cloud all favor colocation. The same reasoning does not hold for variable or seasonal demand.
Sourcing follows the architecture decision, never precedes it. The requirement list is derived from the target architecture, the licensing model is matched to actual usage, and warranty and support scope is chosen against workload criticality. We work vendor-neutral and document why each choice was made.
A migration is a project with acceptance criteria, not an overnight task. Inventory and dependency mapping come first, rack and cabling plans follow, and the migration window is reconciled with the business calendar. Handover completes when the acceptance criteria are met.
The question is answered per workload, not per company. Within one organization some workloads run correctly in colocation and others in cloud; the criteria above are weighted and the reasoning is written down.
Usually yes. Moving hardware still under depreciation is often the lowest-cost option while warranty and support remain in force; age and refresh schedule are assessed together during the inventory work.
We work vendor-neutral. Selection follows the requirements of the target architecture and the licensing model, and the comparison table showing why a product was chosen is delivered with it.
If you would rather decide placement on criteria than on instinct, share your workload list and we will build the comparison table together.
