message: shouldn't this be spelled "collocation" ?
: I've seen the phrase "co-location center" used, too, but neither this nor that is more popular than "colocation center". While we're at it, google finds more results for the American spelling, which is probably because the US market is larger. --Joy [shallot] 21:05, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spelling? 

message: I'm not sure this article is headed in the right direction, honestly.  It's correct WRT things which really *are* carrier hotels, but there are lots of colo sites that are not: they're merely datacenters built with one or more uplinks wherein a webhosting facility (usually) rents out rack space to customers who want to manage their own boxes.
Any thoughts on that, folks?  --Baylink 21:17, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

This seems to be a little too pro-colo? I'd change it but I never actually edit Wikipedia so I'm not sure how the rules work.

thread_title:  Neutrality 

message: Coming to this article new, and as a semi-technical outsider, I can't help noticing that the page doesn't really contain a definition of what 'colocation' means in this context. Or if the defining feature is mentioned, it doesn't really stand out from the list of other features of a 'colocation center'. Might someone want to put a sentence at the top which explains how a colocation center is different from other sorts of data center. What is being 'colocated' with what? Thanks.

thread_title: Definition of 'colocation'

message: Ok; I'm pretty current on this, since I'm moving into one this week :-), so I've done some rewriting and cleanup today to try and wash some of the Brochure Gloss off of this article.  In particular, I rewrote the lede, so that--hopefully--it does a better job explaining what the article's intended to be about.
I'm sure this isn't the only way this stuff is done, but I think the current version covers fairly comprehensively the way at least American providers do this--contributions concerning other countries' practice are always welcome of course.  I didn't un-Briticise some spots as that's standard practice; we do try not to get into "2 countries divided by a common language" fights on WP.
Comments welcome.--Baylink (talk) 17:37, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: Can we find some better images?  At present it uses :File:Rack001.jpg, which is a small rack of random kit, with a terminal screen in the middle of it.  Great photo of a small business on-premises rack, but it's not colo. It's unlikely to be colo, it's certainly not representative of typical colo.
Colo is (by definition) shared. That means physical access control to keep you away from someone else's kit. Your kit is accessed remotely from home, not from screens in the rack. Your kit is also likely to be yardage of identical blade servers, just like everyone else's, not an ad hoc rack-o-junk like this one. This is the sort of rack we all have in our own offices, not off away in the colo. For another thing, who pays colo rack prices to store a monitor? Viam FerreamTalk 11:14, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

message: (Note: The Spelling discussion above is from 2004. In the meantime there are many new sources which prove that there is also the spelling with two Ls.)
I have found several occurances with double-L: 
1. "Dedicated versus collocated
Based on the application type, you should determine if the deployment follows the dedicated or collocated model. Note that the collocated model can be more complex due to the workload diversity and tighter integration." (see: https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMLP2600453/html/GUID-FFAC8B94-AF92-4E8D-98D2-496238B13D0E.html)
2. "Destination and MDBs: Collocation vs. non-Collocation
You can deploy an MDB on the same server instance(s) as the JMS destination on which it listens or on separate server instance(s). These alternatives are referred to as collocation or non-collocation, respectively.
Collocated Destination/MDBs
Collocating an MDB with the destination to which it listens keeps message traffic local and avoids network round trips. Collocation is the best choice if you use WebLogic Server JMS and want to minimize message processing latency and network traffic." (see: https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1221/wls/WLMDB/deploy.htm#WLMDB1376 )
3. "Configuring collocated servers for the Dispatcher component" (see: https://www.ibm.com/docs/SSAW57_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.edge.doc/lb/tcfg_dispatchercollocation.html )
Is this enough to add the spelling variant with double-L or am I missing something, i.e. is "collocation" something different? If the latter is the case, where can I find an answer to that?--Einar Moses Wohltun (talk) 11:46, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
