My company has cabinets at datacenters around the US, but they are relatively stubby datacenters in terms of interconnectedness.
I have been thinking about what adding some backbone PoPs in more interconnected buildings would look like. However space in these (one Wiltshire, 56 Marietta) tends to be at a steep premium. Thus we would probably just want to rack a pair like 7280r3 or something and mostly just have fiber runs to our cheap stubby warehouse datacenter space. Curious about strategy here - any continental mid-sized ISPs do similar with a small footprint in the main building but the majority of their footprint offsite? Also, are there places to broker a fractional few Us of colo space in these buildings? I don’t need a full cab at thousands of dollars, that’s for sure. If you have 4U redundant power colocation at highly peered buildings (escort is ok) you can also hit me up commercially off list. Thanks yall! Happy new year. Alex
