The Pittock building has several "levels" of datacenter space available. There are companies inside that lease out space they've purchased in bulk, you can get private suites/cages, get on secured floor with dead-man doors, biometrics, etc. The building is served by many hundreds of Gigabits of bandwidth from a couple dozen seperate providers that peer to eachother in the building itself. It's one of the major access points in the northwest, among Viawest, and to a much smaller level Inflow/Sungard. Easystreet had good facilities the last time I used them (several years ago), but back in the day for my own personal use, I maintained a few geographically separate co-located servers (San Jose CA, Dallas TX, Portland OR). Each ran about $100-150 a month, built a very nice distributed system. -- Brent Jones [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
