   * Would need to get another rack in their data center, so would be prohibitively expensive

   * Unable to confirm whether or not they have a Raleigh Data Center - They were last known to have a facility adjacent to the Hosted Solutions North Raleigh location, however they were not talking to anybody. Was creepy quiet.
 * [[http://www.colocation.com/Colocationraleigh.html|Colocation.com (Raleigh, NC)]]
   * It appears they only offer full rack colocation in Raleigh
 * [[http://www.netriplex.com/solutions/server_colocation/raleigh_colocation.aspx|Netriplex (Raleigh, NC)]]
   * Requires setup cost equivalent to one month of hosting, and their online quote calculator lists what we want as costing $1295/month - note the Asheville center is one of their own, and is WAY cheaper

   * No email contact address (phone only) - sungard (the old inflow) has a lot of empty space, however they seem un-enthused about generating new business with no on-site sales staff.
