Greetings, We have plenty of rack space in Atlanta that we would happily use to accommodate cheaply for anyone interested. Atlanta is a major interconnection and peering point for Tier 1 transit in the US and could make an excellent location for an additional POP, or various other things of use to the VoIP community.
The data center is a full-scale, industry-standard facility with redundant power (two standby diesel generators and UPS plant) that is quadruple-homed to XO, Savvis, Global Crossing, and Level3 with GigE feeds (except for one, which I believe is an OC-12). The dark utility fiber goes back to TelX at 56 W. Marietta St., the major settlement-free peering point for Tier 1 IP backbones (as well as much voice) in Atlanta, so we can also meet and cross-connect there. Consequently, it's a good place to colocate for good VoIP QoS, and the core network here is also fully voice-prioritising. We can offer $80/mo for a 1U rackmount server, including power and bandwidth. Additional bandwidth fees in the $20-$50/mo range may apply if your bandwidth usage is heavy and sustained (i.e. over ~1 mbps continuously). Contact me for pricing for nonstandard gear (i.e. something that wouldn't fit in a 19" data rack) or equipment that is not 1U. The colocation includes a management component - we'll take care of any emergency hardware problems, acute Linux & Asterisk issues, etc. at no additional charge. (Additional charges may apply for extensive, recurring professional services involvement or support. There are a number of customers who use us for that way.) Contact me off-list if you are interested.
