Depends on what you need, have, and want. You can always fiber form inhouse to colo, where you can have major switches present, you can also do some inhouse, but leave the important stuff in colo, we prefer different buildings, so that if forces of nature wipe one out, we got a backup /redundant..
In house is also more problematic as even a big office wont have the SLA's in place as the big guys have, power, fire, etc Back in 1999 i was running hosting+billing operations, my floor was right on top of a bank, that some wanted to break in in the weekend, well they cut the power + generators, now in our contract/lease, there was no mention of these kind of things. So we lost a weekend of transactions and learned we couldn't trust any one point of failure.. Then again , if its all to just run 1 asterisk box... just put in under the secretary's desk and no one will ever hear about it ;) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alex Balashov Sent: April-07-09 5:35 PM To: [email protected]; Commercial and Business-Oriented Asterisk Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-biz] OT: Co-location vs Build Out Insight Colo.
