    Colocation in Northern Virginia

    We are trying to move away from leasing servers and start colocating our own servers around the Northern Virginia area, but I am having a hard time finding a data center that will take only individual servers. I would like to slowly move from lease to colocation of our own servers. Any ideas, something around Manassas,Va would be ideal.

    What are your requirements?
    What is your budget?
    How many servers?
    How many RU's for each server?
    How much bandwidth (95th percentile) do you need?
    Do you need a connection from distribution to each one of your servers? Or do you have your own switch?
    How much power do you need? Redundant Power As Well?

    I know many providers in the NOVA area that will take on U-Level Customers.
    I'd suggest talking with:
    Karl at Slable (karl@slable.com) or
    Brad Caricofe at Advanced Web (brad@advancedwebllc.com).

    I believe Psychz is exploring this location and may be launching it soon - may want to discuss this with them.

    Both VAZATA and EvoSwitch have facilities in Manassas on the COPT campus. The next closest is Peer1 in Herndon.

    @redenflu we are still evaluating, I have found a company that is looking to setup a few servers and we are thinking about getting half a rack between the two companies. This way we can cut our expense in half.

    Out of the 4 colos I have with different providers on the east coast Randy at FastServ has provided the best support.
