[SDBUG] rack space, anyone?

[James, Jay]

Fascinating info! I admin'd a multinational congolomerate there for a
number of years, occupying about %30 per cent of an entire floor of the
B building.
I remember when mp3.com was hosted there. 

Anyway, ATT moved their wireless HQ there to the second floor there as
well, and one time the workers there plugged the sink up in the kitchen.

It overflowed.

Into the data center. 

Literally inches away from High Power Switch Gear.

Yards away from where I was sitting, working. 

I coulda been fried, I tell you.

Koll is damn nice, but probably the most expensive hosting in town, and
last
I heard they were at capacity.  They may not necessarily maxed out on
cage
and cabinet space (they were at one time, may still be), but their power
infrastructure was a bit tapped.  Their largest client switched to blade
servers awhile back and really started chewing juice.  And, we all know
what
our favorite by-product of expended energy is, and it's pretty difficult
to
beef up the A/C in a crowded datacenter.

Now this was about a year ago, their situation could have changed.  But
after the business changed ownership, and nuked most of the employees in
that building, I doubt much has been done to rectify the situation.

For comparison sake, I've got a friend in there at $800/mbit, and last
time
I called for a quote they wouldn't quote me for anything under 3 or 4
mbit.

There is also the Koll ATT Data Center behind the Qualcomm Design
Center, but I don't know if they do onesies or twosies, as they cage up
a space first, then occupy it with infrastructure. May not be worth
their effort. But hey a buck is a buck :)


This is good food for thought, actually. Anyone else have Data Center
info for SD?
Recommendations, non-recommendations? Errr, have we done this already?!

Who else is good in town?  I have a similar need but could go anywhere 
with decent connectivity.  I'd rather colo my box than do a shared 
hosting thing.  I'd like to get a couple servers out of my home office 
to reduce heat and power side effects.
