Failure of a colocation provider
RSK-008

Description
Both data centre suites are rented from colocation providers, Nordwave Colocation and Brightspan Datacenters. A provider that fails, loses its building, or ends the contract would leave the hosting platform without a place to run.
Measures
The two suites are with different providers in separate buildings, so one provider failing leaves half of the capacity. A continuity plan describes how the critical customers move to the other suite.

Both colocation contracts come up for renewal in the coming year.
@Sam de Vries, should we add the exit terms to this Risk before the next supplier review?
