Does any one else out there think smart hands at Equinix is a rip off? I can send a package over night to the IBX for less than what it costs to move it from the mailroom to my cage. Just curious....
Uh, yes. Equinix is a rip off in general. I got kicked out of Chicago using the side door. I was sick of the stupid man trap crap and noticed they had a door that was propped open in the back that leads outside. It was much easier to back the truck up there and go in and out. The whole thing is a joke, they spent a lot of cash to look good, but there is very little substance.
--- There are a few companies that spent money on "bullet-resistant" reception areas [the purpose has always eluded me] -- when you ask if the loading dock and all other entrances are similarly reinforced, you get the "no, of course not!". I guess the thought process is: basically assume the bad guys will go through the front door and cooperate with the mantrap. Then again (bringing this back to EQIX) -- they didn't spend money on expensive signage, because no one would guess where the door is -- right? So that's more of a savings than some other companies have/had/whatever. DJ I'm curious -- did they kick you out for the day, or terminate your contract and move you out?
