Looking for some colocation guidance in the us. Which will the best affordable dc for colocation and used hdd supplier. Planning to colocate petabyte scale storage servers. Currently renting servers but need to explore how much can I save after colocation

    You can get a full 42U rack with a 1gbit line at HE for $400/mo in Fremont and San Jose, CA

    I'm also setting up a datacenter in Sarasota, FL but assuming you'd rather go with people who have been in operation for a while than HE is probably your best bet.

    Wait, so you are building your own DC from the ground up?

    He's probably one of those who think that if you put a rack or a few 42U in the garage, you can call it a data center ;)

    I heard just using old hardware in residential buildings or in a romanian basement is very profitable!

    Could be. To be fair though, looking at his profile, he looks like he knows his stuff.
