[olug-colo] Meeting Notes

[patrick.swartz at cox.net]

There is a nice building at 9744 Mockingbird (1blk south of L, next to BigJohns billiards) that First Data just moved out of.  There are several good sections of the building that would work very nicely as one was my old Lan Room.  There is fiber from Cox, Quest, AT&T to the building as well, as it has been a call center and a minor FD datacenter that pumped a lot of data out.
I'm not sure how much or little of the building the owner would carve out for us, but I know it (and several other buildings around it) have been empty for some time. Wiesman Development is the owner and here is a link to their listings --

I bet my old Lan room still has the network racks still in there......

If you know of a good, secure building with good connectivity (Fiber), please, let us know!  Additionally on the location topic, we decided that security is in everyone's best interests so storefronts or other easily-robbable places are out of the question.  We want only buildings which are appropriate for a datacenter setting.
