Can you handle the load?
Quite often clients approach us with the mantra "we'll take everything". While experiencing the excitement of site crushing traffic, it can be a major setback if your hosting environment is not ready. Having your servers go down at the peak of traffic flow is not only disheartening; it is plain and simply a loss of income and a "black eye" on your brand. Whether potential income loss or monies spent on the very campaign that made your servers melt down, it is still an un-necessary loss. It's simply not enough to be with "a good hosting company". Dedicated hosting servers, load balancing servers, and routers, among other hardware and software all play important roles throughout the demands of traffic spikes.
Technical Data - Do you need it? No.
Trying to fully understand what goes on at the data center / server level is equivalent to understanding all of the components of a high performance race engine. Do you really need to know? The answer is: no. You just need to know that it runs flawlessly at all times.

Colocation / Redundancy. Did we mention Redundancy?
With colocation, we own, use, and maintain our own equipment, but share the data center floor space with other tenants. Colocation is an excellent choice for mirroring client websites and executing marketing campaigns. With colocation, we are in complete control over our equipment. This is crucial to satisfy regulatory or data protection requirements based on different industries.
Another great reason to use colocation is to address the limitations of an existing data center and its physical location. Rather than drawing all of your efforts from one center, it is much more economical and advantageous to be closer to the target end user. Why market to one side of a large country, or world when the data center is on the other side? Colocation is a perfect example that allows you to test any distant geographical market, keep costs low yet maintain fast (server) response times. we can't argue that cloud hosting is an excellent choice for covering geo targets as well, however, security issues may cause additional expenses. Additionally, a secure colocation can easily augment your current center as a secondary site for disaster recovery purposes.
OCGM maintains all aspects of securing your marketing venture to ensure 100% uptime, load balancing, secure data acquisition, and not to mention backups of backups of all data. Did we mention redundancy?
