Re: [asterisk-biz] OT: Co-location vs Build Out Insight

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.
