Alex,
No problem, we own the hardware, networking gear, and we bring in our own bandwidth providers, but we do not own the actual datacenters, we lease the space and power.

Dear Chris,

thanks for your blog entry!
What confuses me a bit is that you write in your first paragraph…

huge companies that own multiple data centers, (The Planet, Softlayer, Rackspace) to medium sized companies that own their own hardware but lease their data center space (SingleHop, WiredTree)

I always thought that Singlehop has 2 Data Centers of their own. I wasn’t aware that you own the hardware but “just” lease the data center space somewhere else. Or is that a misunderstanding on my side?

Thanks for your clarification!

Kind regards
Alex
