| |
| Question: |
|
Should I co-locate in a shared
cabinet or half cabinet (20U)? |
| Answer: |
|
If you generally have more
than 6-8U it is more economical to co-locate in a dedicated
half cabinet. half cabinets are dedicated to a single
customer (not a shared environment). Customers are badged
and hand scanned thus allowing for 24/7 access to the
facility and cabinet. |
| |
| Question: |
|
If I begin in a shared area
can I upgrade to the half cabinet? |
| Answer: |
|
Yes, of course. Please note
however that IP #s are not transportable. Thus, the entire
IP #s will need to be changed when moving into the half
cabinet. Therefore, if your future growth might require
a half cabinet, it is advisable to begin with the half
cabinet service. |
| |

usually consume? |

than 1 amp. The $80 per 1U co-location service includes
a maximum of 1 amp per1U. Each additional amp is $15 per
month. |
