John, The company I work for has the location I mentioned earlier, we are preparing the location to house our critical infrastructure... However, due to the size of the location and what's already in place, I could host quite a bit more...
I'm just debating on whether or not it's to our advantage to build out a little more (more racks, more connectivity, etc...) and open up house to hosting other equipment.
