What IT Center Operates for You

Our Datacenter Services

From raw rack space to fully managed hybrid cloud — IT Center owns the complexity so you can own the outcome. Every service is backed by our 13-year MSP track record and certified engineering team.

Managed Colocation (Rackspace + Cross-Connects)

We provision and manage your rackspace within our carrier-neutral datacenter facility. From 1U to full-cabinet engagements, each deployment includes structured cabling, cross-connect provisioning to major backbone carriers, and power-distribution unit management — all with documented change management.

Dedicated Server Hosting

Run your workloads on bare-metal dedicated servers without noisy-neighbor risk. We configure, patch, and monitor each server — including BIOS updates, RAID management, OS hardening, and backup agent installation. Choose from Linux or Windows Server, with custom hardware configurations available for high-memory or GPU compute workloads.

Hybrid Cloud Architecture (On-Prem + Cloud Bursting)

We architect hybrid environments that blend your collocated or on-premise infrastructure with AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud burst capacity. Our engineers deploy VMware vSphere, hyper-converged infrastructure, and SD-WAN fabric — giving you the predictability of owned hardware and the elasticity of public cloud when demand spikes.

Remote Hands & Eyes Service

Our on-site technicians act as your physical presence in the datacenter — swapping drives, reseating cables, power-cycling equipment, and performing visual inspections on your behalf. Available 24/7/365, remote hands eliminate costly on-site vendor visits and keep your SLA-driven operations on schedule even at 3am on a holiday.

Physical Security (Biometric, CCTV, Keycard)

All IT Center-managed datacenter facilities feature multi-layer physical security: mantraps, biometric fingerprint scanners, keycard-controlled cage access, and 24/7 CCTV coverage with 90-day retention. Access logs are auditable and exportable for compliance reporting under SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and CMMC requirements.

Disaster Recovery Hosting

We maintain warm and hot standby environments for your critical systems using Veeam, Zerto, or Datto BCDR depending on your RTO/RPO targets. Replication runs continuously from your primary site to our DR hosting environment — so when disaster strikes your primary location, your business resumes in minutes, not days.

By the Numbers

Infrastructure Specifications

We do not make vague promises about reliability. Here are the measurable, documented infrastructure parameters that back our 99.999% uptime commitment.

Power Redundancy
N+1 UPS + Generator
Dual power feeds from separate utility substations. On-site UPS arrays provide battery bridge during switchover. Tier-1 diesel generators with automatic transfer switching spin up within 10 seconds of utility failure. Fuel contracts guarantee 72-hour run time without resupply.
Tier III Equivalent
Cooling & HVAC
N+1 Precision Air, <72°F
Computer room air conditioning units operate in N+1 redundant configurations with hot-aisle/cold-aisle containment. Operating temperatures maintained between 65°F–72°F with <55% relative humidity. Environmental sensors alert our NOC within 60 seconds of any deviation beyond threshold.
Redundant Cooling
Network Connectivity
10Gbps+ Multi-Homed
Carrier-neutral facility with cross-connects to AT&T, Cogent, Zayo, and Lumen. BGP multi-homed routing ensures no single carrier failure disrupts connectivity. Port options from 1GbE to 10GbE with burstable or committed bandwidth contracts. DDoS scrubbing available on all uplinks.
Carrier Neutral
Physical Security
7-Layer Access Control
Perimeter fencing, vehicle barriers, manned security desk, mantrap entry, biometric hand/finger readers, keycard cage access, and 4K CCTV with 90-day video retention. Access events logged to immutable SIEM. All visitors escorted by authorized staff. SOC 2 Type II audited facility.
SOC 2 Audited
Backup & Replication
RPO <15min / RTO <1hr
Continuous data protection available via Veeam CDP and Zerto hypervisor-based replication. Backup retention policies up to 365 days with off-site vault replication. Monthly restore tests documented and provided to clients. Air-gapped immutable backup copies for ransomware resilience.
Immutable Backups
Compliance Certifications
HIPAA • PCI-DSS • SOC 2
Managed hosting environment supports regulated workloads including healthcare EHR systems, payment processing infrastructure, and federal contractor data. We provide compliance-ready BAAs, network diagrams, access logs, and configuration baselines upon request. Annual third-party penetration testing on datacenter network boundary.
Compliance Ready
Lift-and-Shift Without the Headache

Migration Services

Moving your infrastructure to colocation does not have to mean downtime, lost data, or a weekend of panic. IT Center's migration methodology is proven across 13 years and dozens of Southern California datacenter transitions.

1
Discovery & Assessment

We audit your current environment — servers, networking, storage, software licensing, and dependencies. We produce a detailed asset inventory and risk map that becomes the blueprint for zero-downtime migration planning.

2
Migration Architecture

Our engineers design the target colocation environment, cabling plan, IP addressing scheme, and change-window schedule. We coordinate carrier orders and cross-connects 30+ days in advance so every dependency is ready before migration day.

3
Parallel Testing & Validation

Before cutover, we stage the new environment in parallel with your production systems. Critical applications are tested against the new infrastructure, latency benchmarks are recorded, and failback procedures are documented and drilled.

4
Managed Cutover & Hypercare

We execute the cutover in a scheduled maintenance window with our NOC standing by. A 30-day hypercare period follows every migration, with daily check-ins, performance baselining, and priority escalation paths until your team is fully confident.

An Honest Comparison

Managed vs. Unmanaged

Colocation without management means you are still the one getting paged at 2am. Here is what you gain when IT Center owns the operational burden.

Capability IT Center Managed Unmanaged Colo / DIY
24/7 NOC Monitoring ✓ Included — proactive alerts & auto-escalation ✕ Your team on-call
OS Patching & Updates ✓ Scheduled, tested, documented ✕ Manual — often skipped
Hardware Failure Response ✓ On-site hands within SLA window ✕ Requires vendor dispatch or your staff travel
Backup & DR Testing ✓ Monthly documented restore tests ✕ Rarely tested under pressure
Compliance Documentation ✓ Audit-ready artifacts on demand ✕ Must produce internally — time-consuming
Incident Response ✓ NOC + TCI Cyber MSSP response ✕ Isolated — no coordinated IR
Capacity Planning ✓ Quarterly reviews with growth projections ✕ Reactive — discovered when it breaks
Cost Predictability ✓ Flat monthly rate — no surprise invoices ✕ Variable — emergency labor is expensive
Security Hardening ✓ CIS benchmark baselines enforced ✕ Default configs — often insecure
Vendor Coordination ✓ IT Center manages all vendor SLAs ✕ Your team manages every relationship

The total cost of unmanaged infrastructure — including staff time, emergency contractor rates, and breach costs — almost always exceeds the IT Center managed service fee. Let us do the math together.
