Our research is realizing the need for a well-built colocation facility in Vermont. Most of the local firms looking for hardware hosting are being sent to Boston, NYC, or beyond. The economies of infrastructure scale reside in larger metro areas and the cash to pay for them. Many of the local facilities that are left are based on low capital cost - converted attics, spare offices, closets, and casual leftover spaces from other projects and lack infrastructure resiliency and redundancy.
Unfortunately the problem is the cost of moving any bulk amount of data out of state is prohibitively expensive, especially that Vermont is generally considered a less-competitive pricing market. A 50Mbps private loop to a major NYC colo like Telex costs around $3-4k/month. Dallas, Atlanta, or California is somewhat more. Quite steep for the smaller shops and not big enough for the larger ones. Makes remote backups and images tough to work with regardless of size. > On Mon, 23 Mar 2009, David Storandt wrote: > >> We (TelJet) is not offering any hosted or managed services (we're >> construction and IP guys), but looking for shops who want to host >> services in Vermont and do business using our 100% VT owned and >> operated network and facilities. > > Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to "stick to the knitting".
