There are a lot of pieces to this puzzle. Examples: - For some companies the $1,000/sq foot average construction costs keep the idea of building an in house datacenter off the table. - For small (100 sq foot) installations it's reasonable to purchase a medium sized UPS and HVAC for the computer room - the nightmare is getting a generator installed and a permit for the exhaust and fuel storage. - Even installing fiber into your office (http://www.phyber.com/ip/#ontap) doesn't give you the rapid scale of being able to order new GigE/10Gig circuits overnight at a colo.
How much would it cost your business per hour of downtime? Could you survive if you lost service to your building for two days? For most it is way easier/cheaper to colocate the equipment. -Max _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
