Colocation: Direct Access to Chunghwa IDC
What is Colocation?
Colocation allows businesses to host their servers in a professional IDC (Internet Data Center) facility by renting rack space and network bandwidth from a provider. This eliminates the need to build and maintain an on-site data center, saving costs on infrastructure, hardware, and personnel. The primary cost of colocation involves rack space, bandwidth, or traffic, making it an efficient solution with no unnecessary expenditure. Customers retain full control over their hardware and can upgrade or scale resources such as rack space and data usage flexibly to meet their needs.
Benefits of Colocation for Enterprises
Yuan Jhen’s colocation services provide access to state-of-the-art IDC facilities with 24/7 security monitoring and comprehensive hardware and software maintenance. By utilizing colocation, businesses can significantly reduce costs related to building and managing data centers. This includes expenses for disaster-proof spaces, hardware purchases, uninterruptible power systems, network management, backups, maintenance, security, and IT staffing. Placing servers in a professional IDC facility often proves more cost-effective than renting directly from ISPs!

Hosting and IDC Data Center Introduction
What is an IDC (Internet Data Center)?
An IDC is a specialized facility designed to house servers securely and efficiently. These centers are equipped with disaster-proof infrastructure, uninterruptible power supplies, cooling systems, extensive network bandwidth, backup systems, 24-hour security monitoring, hardware maintenance, and IT personnel. Constructing such facilities can be prohibitively expensive, making professional IDC services a popular choice for businesses that own servers but need a secure and cost-effective hosting solution.
What is an AI IDC?
In the era of artificial intelligence, traditional IDCs are evolving to meet the demands of high-performance computing. AI servers require significantly more power and cooling compared to traditional setups. Taiwan, with its strategic geographic location near China, Japan, and South Korea, is emerging as a key data center hub in the Asia-Pacific region. This proximity helps reduce data transmission latency, enhancing user experience. As a result, global tech giants are increasingly investing in AI-optimized IDCs in Taiwan.
Differences Between Traditional and AI IDCs
Currently, according to statistics, the top five players in Taiwan's Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) market are AWS, Microsoft, Google, Chunghwa Telecom, and Far EasTone Telecom. These five companies account for over 90% of the market share. Traditional IDC data centers and AI IDC data centers represent two distinct types of infrastructure, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Businesses should carefully evaluate their operational needs and budget when choosing a data center.
