Co-location Suggestions.

[danthebrony43]

So in december, I purchased an IBM x3550 M3, I added Dual Intel Xeon X5687's @ 3.6-3.86GHz~, 8 Cores / 16 Threads. I loaded the system up with 128GB DDR3 ECC @ 1333MHz, and 4 x 850 EVO 250GB SSDs in RAID 1-0. I am looking for co-location, I live in the Clark County area so I figured this one data-center in vegas would not be too far of a drive, about 20 Miles. It has great plans, for a great price but I also know of things like psychz and volumedrive, any good co-location suggestions on the western side of united states or central, nothing eastern?

I was going to use this, since the data-center is only about 20 miles away, any other suggestions? http://www.fiberhub.com/single-server-colocation/

I was going to use the single server colo plan.

I will be using this server for a VM node. I was considering selling on here, but not sure if anyone would be interested.

Psychz is contracted with the noc team/carrier1 to utilize the staff however correct psychz doesn't cut their paychecks the way its being portrayed is they are paying for services every time one of their clients need something completed which is not the case. As a future resident of the carrier1 facility directly I personally know how the contact with that works out we would actually be paying a portion of the noc teams salary on a yearly basis.

Along to my next question do you utilize carrier1 directly or do you go through a big wholesale seller in the facility such as Psychz, Incero and Dallas colo who are the recognized companies in the facility which can be seen on the company log upon entry to the building?

Let me explain what I meant, when I said Psychz hires Carrier-1 for all of their work, I did not mean they have their name on the datacenter employees paystubs. I simply meant work within Psychz Dallas is not directly done by Psychz employees and is completed by Carrier-1 technicians. Furthermore I use Psychz for our Dallas network though we are expanding with DallasColo in the near future. Psychz is definitely a good company and I highly recommend them.
