Are you prepared to give your customers a 'Tour of the Facilities?'
We normally like to have a tour of the facilities before we engage for
service.
We also have 'informal' colo facilities, for which we highly encourage
customers to visit before deciding to utilize.
How does this 'relate' to a pictures of racks and cables ? which could
be anywhere...
BWT.... in case you all have not seen the large posters from
Equinix.... they are using a beautiful picture of high rises in
Dubai... should we be offended that are they using an awesome picture
of high-rises from a foreign country when they are a US Based company ?
Dude, get over it .. .there is a fine line in advertising.... and
everyone dresses up for the formal presentation .... So What ?

So let me throw this out. I advertise a colo facility with
generator backup.
Post pictures like this.
Actual facility is a back room in an office with racks from Lowe's
and a roll out generator we plug in with extension cords.
At what point is this a problem?

Pre-patch a bunch of stuff into pre-populated SFPs and when

I'm not sure IX employees ever really work in the MMR,
rarely in the data center at all. Once a month? Once every
other month?
Depends on the IX (as I get off topic here) … some of them are
daily in MMR’s. As for DC’s themselves, I can speak
personally about one IX in particular where it’s 2-3 times a
week I’d estimate and another one that is manned within the DC
24x7.
An MMR not maintained by volunteers, but the paid
building management. No one's volunteered blood, sweat and
tears went into it. Someone paid to do it was.
True … but lots of volunteers from IX’s sometimes have access
to the MMR’s to do their work. It varies of course… quite a
number of IX’s use colo providers whom are paid to do that MMR
work but that’s not alway the case ….
Anyways - moot points here and I’m dropping from the
conversation as probably not helping here :)

I believe the issue is that the picture may not represent
the actual IX in question (or MMR of the building where
the IX is located might be more accurate). Basically, and
pardon me possibly putting words in some people’s mouthes
here, when a group of people put a lot of work into
something and then a picture of that work is used
elsewhere to possibly resemble where a potential employee
would work then it’s just misleading and could be
considered offensive to the people who did all the work
originally ….. make sense?
You’ll notice my choice of words here because I’m making
assumptions about why the folks involved are upset and try
to put myself in their shoes, at which point, if I have
all my facts straight, I would be quite upset as well
because it would look like someone else is taking complete
credit for someone else’s work …. In the world of IX’s
(something I do know a lot about) there is often people
who don’t get pay checks as they volunteer however they
get the rewards to contributing towards a great thing for
the community … if you haven’t been involved at that level
you may not understand anything I’m suggesting here ….

Share with you a related story....
I was in a Conf. room of one of our Colo
Facilities Providers, they had some pictures on
their Conf. Room wall, which all were nice.. but
there was one picture that caught eye and appeared
to be very familiar.. it was a picture of cluster
of antennas mounted on the roof of that facility...
Upon a closer look, I recognized that that cluster
was our antennas ! ... so instantly two emotions
came to mind... one was .. Hey that is a nice
picture ! I know to whom that stuff belongs to
!... and the second... How dare you take pictures
of my equipment and hang it your conf. room (we
don't buy roof access from them) !...
To me personally, the former feeling overcame the
latter reaction... and I actually felt proud of
our little Cluster that someone viewed presentable
enough to put in their conf. room.
Having said that.. if you are not the copyright
owner of the photo.. then why does it bother you
at all ? Hopefully you should feel proud that
picture of an actual facility you know is being
liked by others and being promoted on the net...
and that is IMHO !
Of course everyone is entitled to their opinions
and your mileage may vary !.

I am not the copyright owner of the photo in
question. This is only a request.
Please stop using the photo of the Westin
Building 1901 fiber meet-me room to advertise
the Missouri IX.
Property owners and ISPs in the Pacific
Northwest have spent a great deal of time,
money and effort building traffic exchange
infrastructure.
In my opinion is not an accurate or factual
depiction of whatever facilities may currently
exist in Missouri to use a photograph from a
carrier hotel in downtown Seattle.
