Re: co-location and access to your server

[Matt Kelly <mjkelly () gmail com>]

When you are talking single or partial rack colo it is generally done as escorted only, due to security.  They can't 
have anyone coming in and poking around other customers hardware without being watched.  We do the same thing but we 
allow 24x7 escorted access.  Half and full racks get 24x7 access also but that is because they are individually locked.
