The ministry helps companies who need physical data centers but don’t have the need to build their own proprietary physical locations. The Ministry can offer private data center rental; colocation, where a company rents server within a shared data center space; or a mix of the two. Data center as a service (DCaaS) is the provision of offsite physical data center facilities and infrastructure to clients. Clients rent or lease access to the MInT’s data center, using the servers, networking, storage and other computing resources owned by the Ministry.
