[lug] Rack for colo coop?

[B Giles]

I'm not sure if there's interest in a meeting after the BLUG on the colo 
coop idea.. and I'm really not very interested in games.

But in case there's a meeting and I'm not there I wanted to toss out one 
colo coop idea - rent a full rack at an existing facility.  That way you get 
the good connectivity, environmental controls, access control, etc., but 
have more flexibility than dealing with the facility one-on-one.

The upside is that this provides incremental growth.  The downside is that 
you can't save much over direct hosting... but that will always be the case 
if you need the services available in a colocation facility.  As we've 
discussed before, I'm willing to live with reasonable outages (30 minutes, 
not 10 days) if it cuts the cost in half.
