I was also tipped off to this about ipHouse as well. http://www.bizjournals.com/twincities/stories/2005/12/26/story6.html That is a very interesting article and I had no idea that is where they came from.

You also might find it interesting that ipHouse was originally <a href="http://www.bizjournals.com/twincities/stories/2004/09/06/story5.html" title="Techies exit VISI, open ipHouse" rel="nofollow">formed by exiting members of Visi</a> who, at least it would appear, desired to have a more tech-friendly atmosphere.

In your search for a co-location space you should look at the financial viability and stability of the company. You don't want to move all your equipment to a company that won't be around 2 years from now. You also have to consider the location and the price affect it is going to have on Internet connectivity. A cross-connect fee across the room or across the building is going to be a lot cheaper than to another city. This post does not take in all the considerations one needs to take when making this large decision but is only a technical overview from my perception. The best thing to do is take the tours yourself. Also the datacenters listed here are not in any way all of the datacenters in the region just the ones we looked at.
