Re: COLO space in EU

[Riley O via NANOG <nanog () nanog org>]

Yea, 0.15-30EUR is definitely higher than the US average, much higher than what we pay.

Out here, colo spaces tend to charge ~1.5-2x the utility rate in the quote. Mainly to factor in cooling, depending on 
their PUE. 


Based on cost of power in the EU, the monthly seems fine, but the install cost seems high. It seems like that facility 
doesn't have the power available, or doesn't have 3 phase and wants you to foot the cost. 


I would shop, there's probably a space that has the power and delivery ready and available.
