Scruz is ~30-45 minutes from the heart of the internet on the west coast (Silicon Valley). If your $dayjob isn't in scruz, then it's most likely IN Silicon Valley. So locate your 1U server in Silicon Valley, where
Yes it's in the Valley and I do consider locating it there. But I would like to do the whole "support your local business" thing. And the idea of being able to get to the server within 10 minutes is appealing.
have a longer drive to the colo. But it does no you good to locate your server in a "closer" colo if you can't access it at night anyway!
True, it's one of the reasons I was nitpicking about it. No 24/7 access eliminates one big advantage.
From the colo provider's perspective, 1U clients are the least profitable clients. Setting them up and servicing them involves the most paperwork and communication "per dollar"
I understand. I did emphasize in my communications I expect the 1U to expand in the future. It's just a starting point. Though so far no answer. Thanks for your pointer wrt layer42, I will certainly look into it.
