And the idea of being able to get to the server within 10 minutes is appealing.
Colos are where the fiber is, and if you want to know where the fiber is follow the flow of money. santa cruz is in fact not someplace with either a lot of carriers or a lot of fiber diversity. vixie had a wild hair at some point and created the personal colo registry a couple of years ago. http://www.vix.com/personalcolo/ it is not extensive but the port/power/transit business for quantity one box is not real profitable either and piecemeal expansion means you're reserving space for customers that aren't paying for it.
have a longer drive to the colo. But it does no you good to locate your server in a "closer" colo if you can't access it at night anyway!True, it's one of the reasons I was nitpicking about it. No 24/7 access eliminates one big advantage.From the colo provider's perspective, 1U clients are the least profitable clients. Setting them up and servicing them involves the most paperwork and communication "per dollar"I understand. I did emphasize in my communications I expect the 1U to expand in the future. It's just a starting point. Though so far no answer. Thanks for your pointer wrt layer42, I will certainly look into it. Greetings, Jeroen
