Toured Castle Access, a state-of-the-art colocation facility in San Diego. I liked their focus on customer service. Learned something about blade servers:

These systems are quite a recent phenomenon. A Blade Server is a computer system on a motherboard, which includes processor(s), memory, a network connection and sometimes storage. The blade idea is to address the needs of large scale computing centres to reduce space requirements for application servers and lower costs. A typical application could be serving web pages. So along with a Storage Blade they can be rack mounted in multiple racks within a cabinet together with common cabling, redundant power supplies and cooling fans. Blades can be added as required, often as “hot pluggable” units of computing as they share a common high speed bus. Most of the Computer Manufacturers are now offering these computing elements, although some concerns about a lack of standards is currently being expressed.
