Did they raise you on this or were you able to renegotiate favorably? (A post on this would be nice. Would like to know the business details as I'm sure others would if you'd like to share).
- lsc 13y agoI'm moving to coresite santa clara, and I'm mostly in, but I'm also mostly out of power, and the conditions are not so favourable for me renting out significant rack space. I've also been kinda soured to the idea of letting other people into my production co-lo[1] so I'm kinda re-thinking the whole customer-accessible co-lo thing. That's the thing, renting co-lo space, when you least datacenter space is generally a really shitty deal; the economics make more sense when you own the place. I'm also building out a datacenter in my buddy's warehouse in santa clara, but the fiber isn't there yet, and the power isn't in yet so unless you can deal with comcast-level network, that doesn't help you. It does look like it will be pretty cool when it's up; we have a bunch of those 'datacenter in a cargo container' things; My buddy wants to rent out whole containers at a time to big players; I am focusing on renting dedicated servers in them. Again, it's high density, so having a bunch of smaller customers with access is probably a bad idea. So yeah, uh, it's essentially still all up in the air, with no real ETA.
