= Colocation Options =

This wiki page has been started to help track down our options for colocation, a discussion started with ticket #149 and now continues on #1098.

Location: 111 8th Avenue

Pro's and Con's: Great location, would require new IPs

micah notes: 
if they are really located at 111 8th, then we would be able to get cross-connects from anyone in the building, which is everyone, so you may not need to re-ip.
