Datacenter in Downtown St. Cloud - Minnesota
by admin on Mar.19, 2007, under Datacenter
I read an article today in the St. Cloud Time that was about the benefits of running you tech company out of St. Cloud Minnesota and almost fell off my chair laughing.
The only way to benefit from putting your datacenter in downtown St. Cloud is if you are hosting it somewhere else in Central Minnesota. You are much better off putting it in a co-location space in Minneapolis/St. Paul or even in Chicago. The bandwidth costs to get high bandwidth solutions into St. Cloud are very expensive, the power solutions in downtown St. Cloud are not good and most of the buildings are in disrepair.
My suggestion is if at all possible consider renting space out of the Twin Cities. If you need to stay in the St. Cloud area and do need higher bandwidth then by all means stick as close to the Qwest building downtown as you can.
