<title>Colo4Dallas achieves SAS70 </title>
<description><![CDATA[As many people know I had set a personal goal to achieve our SAS70 for Colo4Dallas.  That was accomplished last month.  We feel this is an important milestone that is becoming a standard to differentiate between datacenters.  Few datacenters in Dallas have achieved the SAS70 certification.]]>... read more</description>

<title>24/7 On-Site Tech Support</title>
<description><![CDATA[From the beginning of Colo4Dallas I made a commitment to offer 24/7/365 on-site technicians.  This is something that has costs our company significantly, but also saved our customers a lot of downtime.  I find it hard to believe that facilities our size, and several much larger, still do n]]>... read more</description>

<title>Data Center Cabling</title>
<description><![CDATA[When you walk in to a datacenter your first impression is very important.  A lot of providers, and even enterprise businesses, choose to hide the cabling under the floor.  While some have done a neat and organized job under the floor, many have used it as a place to hide the mess.  As the ]]>... read more</description>

<title>Dallas Colocation review 2007 </title>
<description><![CDATA[What a year we had at Colo4Dallas.  When I talk to customers the first thing they all say is “Wow, you guys are really growing.”  Yes, this is the case.  In 2007 we had 140% growth.  This was accomplished by first focusing on our current customers.  Many expanded their footprint in 2007 as]]>... read more</description>

<title>High Density Power</title>
<description><![CDATA[I often get asked about high density power.  There are some providers that are out of power that have tried to make up reasons why they have limited power to 1 or 2 20 amp feeds.  I have heard “best practice” mentioned as well as code when explaining these restrictions.  To find the truth ]]>... read more</description>

<title>Where are the colo companies?</title>
<description><![CDATA[I saw a post on a forum I visit where someone asked, “What is it these days with colo companies?  Does anyone do colo anymore?”  When I saw that I knew I had my next blog.

Back in the old days (2001-2003) we got more phone calls each week asking if we wanted to bid on some failed facili]]>... read more</description>

<title>Are you getting hot air?</title>
<description><![CDATA[Today many facilities struggle with cooling as a result of higher power density.  While some have chosen to just limit the amount of power allowed in a cabinet to 20 amps, I took the path of solving the issue for our customers.  In my last blog entry I addressed some of the ways facilities]]>... read more</description>

<title>How much power do you need to buy?</title>
<description><![CDATA[Everyone has heard that energy prices have increased.  That is no big news.  From the price we pay per kilowatt hour to the amount we pay for natural gas at our houses.  We have also seen prices of generators, UPSs and batteries rise considerably in the past 3 years.  Clean power costs mor]]>... read more</description>

<title>Power.  The Colo4Dallas difference.</title>
<description><![CDATA[If you show up at the facility over the next 30 days you will see something new on the side of the building.  It is a temporary generator that we have leased during our current power upgrade.  The project will allow customers and prospects to be able to continue to get power they need.

<title>The times have changed</title>
<description><![CDATA[Often when I give a tour I talk about how the times are changing with the datacenter customer.  I give an analogy that many find amusing and most find it hits pretty close to home.  I go back to the old days of the mid 90s.  Most companies had the IT guy that always got the office with the]]>... read more</description>
