How Colocation compares
See why teams choose ZSoftly Cloud Platform.
| Capability | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Bring your own hardware | Get more years out of servers you own instead of paying again for new hardware. |
| Hands-on onboarding | You ship the hardware and we handle everything at the facility, so nobody on your team travels. |
| Hybrid with ZCP | Run steady workloads on your own servers and burst into ZCP cloud when you need more capacity. |
| Quoted for your setup | You pay for the space, power, and network your hardware needs, priced in CAD. |
