I think in bayarea, the cheapest colo you could find is in Fremont, for $400 per month. I'd like to use colo, so that I could make a raspberry pi cluster as my server. That will be cool. but $400 is too much for now. Whereas my current AWS monthly cost is $10. I try not to use any amazon features to untie from amazon, so I can switch servers later. This is the cheapest colo I found in Bayarea http://he.net/Colocation-in-Fremont-CA/?l=Fremont_Colocation&a=89226928513&n=g&pos=1t1&p=&t=&m=p&k=fremont%20colocation&gclid=Cj0KCQjwk_TbBRDsARIsAALJSObdgCtzfS1BvC33f7M2YyUu7zElzXpOzo3BJFxWDws_2KDshy63WS4aAle0EALw_wcB http://he.net/Colocation-in-Fremont-CA/?l=Fremont_Colocation... It seems to be the same vendor for linode Another benefit for using aws is that you can deploy your server globally, instead of a single location.

This is a whole cabinet. 42 Units, that means you could put 2 switches and 40 Dual E5 systems with 384GB memory each. In this case the colo pricing doesn't matter at all, you could even pay 1000 bucks per month and wouldn't notice it much because the main cost is simply hardware.

  But this is usually the smallest unit (whole cabinet) for purchase, right?

    No, you can even get single units, let it be through a reseller or directly.

  Do you get enough power/amps to host 40 dual E5 systems?

    In most DCs this is not an issue, what do you think how companies like DO or Linode do it?
