Hardware firewall and exploring the topic
The colocation company will not intervene except in case of damage caused to the equipment on the rare occasion that disaster strikes a facility. Upgrading software remotely is simple. However, if you wish to perform hardware upgrades, a tech from your company will need to travel to the facility, or you will need to have the server shipped back to your offices. What is the advantage of server colocation over keeping the server at my company offices?

Because colocation companies deal in bulk bandwidth, you are also likely to pay much less for your site's bandwidth than you would if you ran the network out of your office.
