[olug] Cox Issues Was: Cox sucks

[Dan Clough]

I've taken a tour, as well.  It's rather low-profile, at least from the 
outside.  On the inside, they've got a few hundred hot-seats, a complete 
check printing facility and mainframe recovery services, in addition to 
the colocation/cage portion of their operation.  If OLUG is really 
looking to get a community datacenter underway, a cage at CoSentry would 
do fine.  They offer cages starting at 8x8 and can incorporate a HID 
access system into the cage.  Aside from gathering enough support to get 
it going, I think cost is the prohibitive factor.

I've still got a folder full of CoSentry propoganda from my tour, if 
somebody wants additional details.

It is kinda expensive but not as bad as I would have thought and the people there are reasonable, not money grubbers like SOME companies around here.  They have a NOC that is staffed 24/7 that monitor all traffic in and out as well as your servers if that is part of your plan.
