 | reply to LazMan very nice dc.. looks to be primarily telco.... how old is this dc? I dont see it being abused by the "lazy tech" disease.... (ie: different color patch cables, new cables not properly cable managed/labeled, etc, etc, etc)...
very nice.... if I was looking to colo there, i'd be inclined to signed by the cleanliness and organization of that place  |

This is the telco "floor" within the DC... We don't do any hosting on this floor, but one of our functions is to support the hosting operations within the building. We've got (I believe) about 70k sq ft of hosting space here.
This floor's only about 4 years old; but has experienced insane growth in the last 12 months.
The guys that work here have done a GREAT job, and take alot of care, as you've noticed... I wish all my sites looked like this! |
