[olug] Community Colo Project

[Dan Clough]

I'd hope not.  Anybody who has a personal bladecenter probably has a nice cozy home for it. ;)

On another note, I think it would be a good idea to provision a shared hosting server or Xen/VZ box to give space to those without colo-ready machines.

We should establish physical requirements for servers.  I think rackmountable, 4U and under is fair, since shelving tower servers would be space-consuming in a standard datacenter.  If, however, we aren't in a traditional data center such as Pinpoint or Cosentry, then we could use a bakers rack or some other setup for tower servers.

Thoughts?  Suggestions?  Disagreements? ;)

Quote request sent to Pin Point for colo and X connect to Cogent. I assumed
(3) or (4) 20A power circuits?
I'm assuming no one has a blade center or 3phase requirements.
