I completely agree, the original "rfq" is super suspicious. There's no need
to require to be specifically at One Wilshire for a single 1U server
(particularly with only 10GbE interfaces, not 100), since the most
effective use of being at a major interconnect point like that is only if
you're prepar
While it may be a plausible scenario, it IMO is highly unlikely (<
0.0001%) that this is the case in this situation, given the person that
is asking...

CoreSite now charges a disconnect fee for all cross-connects in addition to
the MRC and connection fee.
If you don't plan to cross-connect at CoreSite LA1 (One Wilshire), you may
consider other nearby facilities. Most facilities are backhauled there
anyway.

We offer highly customizable colo arrangements. For small engagements, we
usually price per box, so it doesn't have to be 1U.
