I’m not sure if you have to be in Cleveland or Cincinnati, but Cyxtera has an AMAZING data center in Columbus. (The DC can withstand winds up 140 MPH, is on the Century Link backbone, and has a solid rubber roof with no holes or cooling systems on the roof.)
Being on the CenturyLink backbone doesn't sound like a selling point to me... On Fri, Jan 4, 2019 at 8:46 PM David Kehoe <dkehoe@pdmi.com> wrote:
Former employer was in Expedient’s DC. You can honestly do better than Expedient. Look into the Power Redundancy, Cooling Efficiency of the building, if the site is a purpose built DC (Expedient in Cleveland is not). Is Cloud Connect for backups important? Have you identified your requirements? If you need a starting point look at the following: Data Center Certification (from the Uptime Institute), Distance, Compliance (if needed), Level of Controlled Access, Power SLA, N+1 Cooling, Multi-Homed ISPs, Uptime %, Monitoring, NOC, Purpose Built DC.
Involta has a really good data center in Independence, Akron, and a very impressive site near Pittsburgh. They would give you the option of having Hot/Hot datacenters with their connectivity.

+1 for Expedient. Not a current customer but a VERY satisfied former customer. (Decision to leave them was a foul case of penny-pincher mismanagement, above my pay grade and over my objections.)

I have been looking at Cyrus One-7thStreet in Cincinnati & Databank in Cleveland.
Expedient has two facilities in Cleveland that might be worth looking at.
Thank you jms
