If reliable power is not considered an essential part of facility infrastructure, how would you suggest that tenants get it? I think that the incident at the WilTel POP in Santa Clara, CA, is sufficient to prove that having individual tenants each supply their own (typically small) UPS is a Bad Thing - the power was out long enough to drain them to zero, furthermore (this part I have second hand) some of them didn't take well to being flatlined like that. If everyone were left to solve that problem on their own ... well, imagine everyone jockeying to park their trailer-mounted portable generator near the door. Yow. Do you feel the same way about air conditioning? Security?
With telecomm dereg as life, GTE Mobilnet in Hawaii is now selling co-lo space. We supply battery backed DC, battery fed - inverted DC to AC, all backed by a cat diesel generator. AirCon is fault tolerant as well. We supply locked cabinets or cages. We install your equipment (power connections etc.), you turn it up. We have UNIX and IP literate people with Bay, Cisco, BSDI, NT, USR TC, Ascend and Solaris experience on premise and, avail 24x7. GTE.net just co-lo'd their Hub for Hawaii, soon to be a NAP per their plans. Three other medium to large ISP's are there as well. Cheers Patrick J.
