## 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. |

## Use cases for Colocation

- Moving servers out of an office or server room
- Leaving a data center contract or a closing facility

- Hosting firewalls, appliances, and storage arrays
- Building a private cloud on your own hardware
- Keeping a disaster-recovery copy of your systems off-site
- Running networks with BGP, your own IP space, or IX peering
