Intermax IT: Colocation
Host your own infrastructure in our Coeur d'Alene datacenter — professionally managed, secure, and redundant. Ideal as a DR site, failover location, security countermeasure, or simple off-site data position without moving to public cloud.
Intermax IT: Colocation provides dedicated datacenter space in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, for businesses across North Idaho and Eastern Washington that want to host private infrastructure off-site with professional management, redundant power, and reliable connectivity — without moving to a distant cloud region.
What is Intermax IT: Colocation?
Your hardware stays yours. We handle the building, power, and connectivity.
Colocation is hosting your own servers in our professional datacenter facility — not renting virtual machines from a cloud provider miles away, but your actual hardware in a physically secure, climate-controlled, professionally managed building in North Idaho. We handle facility management, redundant power, fiber connectivity, and monitoring. You maintain your own infrastructure and control what’s running. It’s ideal when you need off-site resilience, a disaster recovery location, or just want critical data outside your office — without surrendering control to a distant cloud platform.
