what to look for (Score 1)

There are several things that you should check -fire supression and detection : how it is set up is it both under floor and above do they have mutiple methods ie... dry chemical, compressed air, then water. Is it a controlled system so that if it is necessary for it to go into action that it will only effect 3 X 3 foot sections. - Physical security : are any data cables accessable by others above or below floor how are the cabnents set up can others see into or get into the closed cabnet. do they have 24 hr security in the form of people and biometrics(hand scanners and the like) -what is the max Amp load you can pull on a single rack... most co-lo's don't support more than 15 or 20 so if you were running 42 1u servers you would pay an ass load more for the extra circuits - how is there redundant power and cooling handled and how many days can they run with out outside support( power fule etc) - how many redundant generators do they have and how do they cycle in to provide power - how many different providers do they have comming into the facility and can you bring you own to provide backup bandwidth -do they have dark fibre available for increased usage or problems with there own lines. - do they provide POTS jacks in the rack and a phone within 6-8 ft of each rack and internet connections (other than dial up) for your engineers when they are on site. And so much more.... Email me if you have further questions
