Hi, I am looking into going with a colocation company. I wanted to know what are the pros and cons of doing so. My business has already grown to over 25 Cobalt servers so I think its time to go to go this way.

Can any one tell me what are the pros and cons that I should look into.

Also can any one tell me what equipment you think I need, things other then the servers.

Last I would like to build a control panel probley based off of the freevsd software I want to know if there is any one who would be willing to build this and for how much. Please email this to me and not post it here. derrick@cheaphostonline.net

Thanks

You might want to level up the floor ( 1 or 2 sq feet).
That way, you can suck up the cool air up and out the top of the rack. :cool:

I don't understand what you mean

Nevermind.
Not many facility do it that way.

The purpose of it is to pump air-conditioned air into the rack from the floor.

Have a large fan on top of the rack. Its purpose is to suck up & out the warm air, and pull the air conditioned air from the floor up to the top of the rack.

The reason to raise the floor up 1 or 2 sq feet is too put air-conditioned air inside that 1-2 sq feet high floor. :cool:

Is it just me! :)

nevermind. It's me.

Raised flooring. Very good idea. Especially if you run power under the floor, and network above the racks... it keeps electrical interference to a minimum.
