In ordinary colocation your rack stands beside other clients' racks. In a private cage, each rack sits inside its own enclosure with separate access control.
Who uses it
Private cage colocation is generally taken by technology companies and institutions, website operators, software developers and others managing large volumes of data. In Indonesia many users come from the banking sector: a private cage lets them hold more racks for internal, customer and investor data, with clear physical separation.
The two things that set it apart
- No rack shared with other clientsIn ordinary colocation, racks are usually mixed with other clients' to save space. With a private cage there is no mixing — only your side can reach that rack.
- Fingerprint and ID cardEvery cage carries fingerprint and ID card access control, so physical access is limited to the client concerned.
Physical separation of this kind narrows the opportunity for data leakage or theft — which matters to large organisations, particularly in banking, where the loss is not only operational but also a loss of credibility with customers.
What surrounds it
- A Disaster Recovery Center, so systems keep operating through a disruption.
- Stable power supply at every data center.
- Precision air conditioning.
- Competent, professional staff in each discipline.
