&gt;<br>
&gt; If you are starting out in business colocation is usually the cheapest<br>
&gt; option. you won't have to worry about all of the hassle related to running<br>
&gt; an actual data center.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; There are a lot of colocation providers out there, unfortunately the<br>
&gt; various experiences I had only proved that cost is not the best metric for<br>
&gt; reliability.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I do however recommend that you have in house technical staff and not to<br>
&gt; rely on the staff of whichever colocation center you select. Or at the<br>
&gt; very least make sure you work with a dependable contractor that can<br>
&gt; respond to emergencies.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; If that isn't an option, invest in a lights-out remote management card to<br>
&gt; plug your server in (<a href="http://www.ami.com/" target="_blank">www.ami.com</a>
has some ok ones).<br>

&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; There are a lot of pieces to this puzzle. Examples:<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; - For some companies the $1,000/sq foot average construction costs<br>
&gt;&gt; keep the idea of building an in house datacenter off the table.<br>
&gt;&gt; - For small (100 sq foot) installations it's reasonable to purchase a<br>
&gt;&gt; medium sized UPS and HVAC for the computer room - the nightmare is<br>
&gt;&gt; getting a generator installed and a permit for the exhaust and fuel<br>
&gt;&gt; storage.<br>
&gt;&gt; - Even installing fiber into your office<br>
&gt;&gt; (<a href="http://www.phyber.com/ip/#ontap" target="_blank">http://www.phyber.com/ip/#ontap</a>)
doesn't give you the rapid scale of<br>
&gt;&gt; being able to order new GigE/10Gig circuits overnight at a <st1:State
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">colo.</st1:place></st1:State><br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; How much would it cost your business per hour of downtime? Could you<br>
&gt;&gt; survive if you lost service to your building for two days?<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; For most it is way easier/cheaper to colocate the equipment.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
