In this three-part blog series, we’ll try to address some of the fears and uncertainties faced by organizations who had successfully started their projects on public clouds, like AWS, but for one reason or another found themselves needing to replicate their cloud environment from scratch, starting with an empty rack in their own enterprise server room or a colocation facility.

Companies who rent “pieces of data centers” are called colocation facilities and the “pieces” they rent are called server cabinets (or racks).
