Correct. There are people who build NOC's for a living. You don't want to know all the details of generators, floors, AC, power loads, BTU's, heat exhaust, etc.. all of which has to be negotiated according to local county and state rules and regs, building owner regs -- its a massive undertaking to do it right, there are people who do soley this and are good at it.
Anyone care to chime in as 'an expert'?
I'd love to talk to a NOCMeister about building one.
I have built 8 colos so far with 10 - 200 racks and 2 NOCs. I have done everything from design all of the systems to actually laying block. There is WAY to much that goes into building a colo to talk about this on this list. If you want more info send me some email and I may be able to help you out. P.S. Not all of my colo centers were airplane proof as one person at NANOG kindly noted. :-) -- Nathan Stratton Telecom & ISP Consulting www.robotics.net nathan@robotics.net
