I apologize for the delay is the summary. I thought I had written and sent this a month ago (when I should have). Thanks for all who responded for their help. According to the responses, most colos are still limited to 2x20A@110V/rack (+redundant power if you pay for it) with a few providers offering increased density but none of the responses were for mid-high density. Costs seemed to average around $1250/month (rack+ non-redundant power only) with a few going a bit below $1k and a few more closer to $1500/month or so. None of the responses were of the 1 summer kind of collo and some of the responses indicate that there are a number of alternatives for those who are more price sensitive and willing to consider creative options. Thanks again for the help, Jon _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
