I think that getting caught is a good indication that they take the security of the facility seriously. Some places will ban you forever if you violate their policies. The mantrap thing is there for a reason. People are always free to build out their own spaces however they wish. If you don't like their policies, don't colo there. Build your own. I like their approach of controlling access very tightly. Overkill is definitely better than underkill. My experience is that a lot of security measures that appear ridiculous or redundant actually act as a defense-in-depth strategy. Their practice of requiring a guard to leave the control booth to allow someone in instead of using a buzzer may seem stupid but serves an important but not entirely well-publicized purpose. -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog () merit edu [mailto:owner-nanog () merit edu]On Behalf Of Paul Vixie Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2002 2:54 PM To: nanog () merit edu Subject: Re: your mail nathan () robotics net (Nathan Stratton) writes:
Uh, yes. Equinix is a rip off in general. I got kicked out of Chicago using the side door. I was sick of the stupid man trap crap and noticed they had a door that was propped open in the back that leads outside. It was much easier to back the truck up there and go in and out. The whole thing is a joke, they spent a lot of cash to look good, but there is very little substance.
nevertheless PAIX hasn't made it to chicago yet, and equinix is quite a bit more neutral than a normal abovenet/exodus/att/qwest/ibm/uunet hosting center would be, and that makes them the only game in that town. i recommend that you work hard at helping them fix whatever it is they're doing wrong. think of your work in that regard as a public service. -- Paul Vixie
