Always enjoy tours, been on so many over the years.
208V is the only thing we offer these days as well it just makes no sense doing anything lower.

Love to hear more feedback on this video. It was actually a lot of fun to do.

Didn't expect you to turn up in town in summer. Toured PhoenixNAP when I was shopping for colo many years ago, but wound up with CyrusOne instead. Would be interesting if you ever get to see it due to the sheer size of it. Never been to a bigger facility myself.

One thing I find interesting with different data centers over the years is how some are more of the big huge data center halls and others have much smaller suites.
In New York we have smaller suites which I personally like more as it allows more control over each room, also a bit more privacy.
Seen some cages which are completely blocked off from being able to view inside of the cage space.

Personally I would pick PHX over LA if you didn't need the Asia connectivity from LA. Most data centers in LA are really bad other than a very select few.

I watched the video and thought it was fantastic.

So I then thought the article would be something that just said "Yo watch the video" but it was good itself.

The cages and general layout reminds me somewhat of Equinix NY4 DC. My current company colocated with Iron Mountain in Edison, purchased from IO Datacenters. Interestingly enough it is in the building converted from New York Times newspaper printing center. It's a bit over 830,000 square feet in a single building.

Great job on the video + article! Kudos for showing as much of the infrastructure as you could while respecting client privacy / security.
