As a business-grade provider, Connexus offers Co-location facilities in various locations across Australia for the secure hosting of customer equipment. Co-location is priced according to rack units (RU). One rack unit is 1.75″ in height. One single rack cabinet supports up to 39 RUs.
All Connexus Co-location facilities are equipped with industry-standard racks supporting 19″ equipment. Shelves can be installed for customers with non-rack mountable equipment.
Connexus Co-location is connected directly to the Connexus core routers via high-speed Ethernet. Customers can choose a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps connection, provisioned as either single (1 link) or dual (2 links).
Because Connexus Co-location is connected directly to Connexus core routers, customer’s sites connected to a Connexus Private Network are brought as close as possible to the customer’s Co-location equipment.
This minimises intermediary links, reduces points of failure, reduces latency and offers the highest possible performance levels.
Each Co-location facility has a minimum of two UPS power systems providing redundancy against a power failure within one power system. Customer equipment with dual power supplies can be connected to separate power rails within the rack.
The air environment in each facility is monitored using Vision Systems VESDA technology. The VESDA system is the earliest possible warning measure in the event of a fire, as it monitors the air supply for any carbon particles. In the event of a fire, it is detected before full ignition has occurred.
Industry-leading Liebert equipment is used to maintain an optimal air environment within each of Connexus’ Co-location facilities.
Connexus offers a fair and comprehensive Service Level Agreement, which includes performance and reliability targets as well as a compensation option if the specified service levels are not met.
Connexus customers have the option of direct, 24-hour, 7-day access to an experienced network engineer to assist with faults and service difficulties.
Connexus Co-location is offered as a component within a complete package of Connexus services. Customers typically combine Co-location with a high-speed Fibre connection or Connexus Private Network.
* Dual access may not be available in regional locations in addition to Inergen® Gas System

Torque Automotive operates a network of car dealerships across Australia. Staff at each car dealership access a centralised point-of-sale/CRM system which is hosted on a server at Torque’s head office. However, Torque frequently experiences disruptions to its head office server, sometimes caused by power failure, temperate problems or congestion on its busy internet connection. At other times, the car dealerships experience denial-of-service attacks through their internet connection because firewalls and security must be managed at each dealership individually.
When problems occur, its car dealerships cannot access any customer information, sell vehicles or otherwise conduct business. The loss is enormous and is causing immense frustration within the company. The IT department is under pressure from management to provide a solution with minimal capital investment.
