So the question remains.... for a regular, small-time, nondescript, everyday customer, why should one consider Colo America vs. the competition?
^^ The question remains unanswered
Our standard, base-level 1U server comes with 2 Amp 120 V power, 5TB of bandwidth and starts at $75. Quadranet's is 1 Amp 120V, and 300GB of bandwidth and starts at $79. Their single servers don't even go to 5TB bandwidth (+$10 to get an additional 500GB, 800GB total), and to add the extra 1 Amp, it's +$35.
That's why, the regular, small-time, nondescript, everyday customer with a small-business budget should come to Colocation America--value for your dollar.
Plus, we have a cool mascot.

Lots of SMBs want to use 2U rack units, what is the pricing for the same setup but with the extra space? 2U servers tend to be far better balanced for SMB storage needs.

@scottalanmiller $99

- What Tier level is ColocationAmerica datacenters (in So. Cal)?
- Can you talk about pricing for 1/2 rack & a full rack?

- All of our facilities are certified Tier III at minimum. (Edited for clarification)
- Half-Rack starts at $699 with 20TB bandwidth, 20 Amps 120V, and /16 IP range. Full rack starts at $999, 20 Amps, 30TB bandwidth, and /27 IP. Both come with a 100Mbps dedicated connection

I don't know, this sounds a lot like cloud at cost with more lipstick and perfume.
Honestly, I see a spear phishing campaign and social engineering all bundled with very attractive pricing as extra bait.Take backups and give no passwords @Minion-Queen. I hope you have a sound exit strategy.

What do you mean? I don't understand the comparison.

This is a 16 year old company so not new on the block by any means....
They have 22 data centers in 8 Major citys. They have a major amount of people on their team both administrative, marketing and technical (believe me I have talked to MANY of them at this point). This is not a questionable company guys.

Well, that's good to know
Obviously, there's a lot more to it than we've seen publicly.Glad you have done research into them.

After this road trip is done. You will be able to get to know at least a few of the Colocation America team as they will have an actual presence here on the community.

Why the move from the East Coast & why was So. Cal. chosen for the lab?

@FATeknollogee
That was the best Data Center location available to us, and after all who doesn't love a Road Trip?I believe that this particular location is Colocation America's newest location. So we are pretty excited to be getting to visit it (ooo I need to see if I can get some pics while I am there).

Even Lab's need a vacation and what better place than sunny Los Angeles?

Going into the newest and highest end facility. It's one of the Tier IV facilities and it is near Colocation America's home office. Going for the highest end facility we can get
because that's how we roll. -
@scottalanmiller How much rack space is being consumed, 1/2 cab, full cab?

Well, we HAVE a full cab. Over half is used on initial equipment delivery. We have plans for at least one large NAS to be added soon and possible one large Sparc server that we are interested in adding. There will be some empty space, but not a lot.
