SMH Colocation is more than just a data center company. As Streaming Media Hosting the management team has a 10+ year history of providing world-class colocation, hosting and streaming media services. We’ve been through the boom and the bust and we’ve done it by offering a high quality product together with an overriding focus on the highest level of customer service.

By cutting our teeth on developing and offering streaming media services, generally considered the most challenging services to provide over the Internet (particularly at a high quality level), we are intimately familiar with the technology that underpins the Internet. Through this, we not only understand the network component, we also know what it takes to run high performance, highly available Internet services and applications.

Ultimately, when choosing a data center partner, you want a great facility, great network, great power, and great service together with a stable company. You want someone you can trust your servers with (whether they are running your web site or storing your corporate data) and who will be there for you for a long time to come. SMH Colocation is just such a partner.

We’ve got the facility, the network, the power and we’re debt free. And because of our dedicated hosting and streaming media business, we’ve been profitable from the day we opened our doors. Add to that, we also have a long term lease on our data center. Nobody can predict the future, but the bottom line is that we’ve been doing this for a long time and we’ll be doing it for a long time to come.

Aside from stability, you also want a data center partner with a great staff. Everyone likes to point out how great their people are, but we truly believe it. One of the benefits of having done the tough stuff (streaming media) for so long is that we’ve got a bevy of staff who are network, server and application experts. We know how to make the network hum and we know how to make sure that there are no interruptions to your service.

We also recognize that we are not a large telco. And we are glad we’re not. If all you want is a turnkey data center solution from a large name, then we’re probably not the best choice. But if you want the best data center combined with the best value and personalized service, then SMH Colocation is far and away the best choice you can make.
