1.2. Not Contacted

• Level3 (Raleigh, NC) (?)

  • 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.

• Colocation.com (Raleigh, NC)

  • It appears they only offer full rack colocation in Raleigh

• 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

• SunGard (Raleigh, NC)

  • 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.
