    \r\n \t
  1. Do you offer shared colocation?<\/strong>\r\nAs of 8\/2024, we no longer offer shared colo because we now offer a 2U lockable cabinet that we design in-house.<\/li>\r\n \t
  2. What is the smallest colo space that you offer?<\/strong>\r\nOur smallest colo is a 2U dedicated lockable cabinet. If you are interested in getting a 2U colo in another datacenter that does not yet have this, please let us know.<\/li>\r\n \t
  3. How much power can I get in a cabinet?<\/strong>\r\nOur cabinet is designed for a 5 KW load by default. However, we can customize and reconfigure our datacenter to support up to 20 KW per cabinet. If you need more, we can design and build it based on your requirements.<\/li>\r\n \t
  4. Do you offer cage space?<\/strong>\r\nYes, we do.<\/li>\r\n \t
  5. Can I get A and B power?<\/strong>\r\nMost definitely! Our datacenter is set up with redundancy in mind. Our UPS infrastructure is set up as 2N, so you get power from UPS-A and a separate power feed from UPS-B.<\/li>\r\n \t
  6. I need to be able to track who opens my cabinet and when. Do you have such a service?<\/strong>\r\nYes, we offer such a service by installing an electronic lock on your cabinet. This way, you will know who opened it and when.<\/li>\r\n \t
  7. Do I have 24\/7 access to my colo cabinet?<\/strong>\r\nYes, you can access your cabinet 24\/7 via biometric and keycard access.<\/li>\r\n \t
  8. Do you have a camera monitoring the datacenter?<\/strong>\r\nYes, we have cameras at every entrance and throughout the datacenter.<\/li>\r\n \t
  9. Can I get more power for my colo needs?<\/strong>\r\nYes, you can get more power in your colo space.<\/li>\r\n \t
  10. How quickly can I get a cabinet ready?<\/strong>\r\nWe usually need 3 business days to prepare, but if you have an urgent need, we can prepare something within the same day.<\/li>\r\n \t
  11. Do you offer an uptime guarantee?<\/strong>\r\nAbsolutely! We have 100% SLA (Service Level Agreement) for power and cooling and 99.99% uptime for the network.<\/li>\r\n \t
  12. Is your datacenter compliant?<\/strong>\r\nYes, we are SOC2 Type II audited and PCI compliant. We can help you meet your company\u2019s requirements regarding HIPAA, PCI, and others.<\/li>\r\n \t
  13. Do you offer unmetered bandwidth?<\/strong>\r\nYes, we can provide unmetered bandwidth for 1 Gig, 10Gig, or 100Gig.<\/li>\r\n \t
  14. How do you do bandwidth calculation?<\/strong>\r\nWe offer 95%tile or Data Transfer calculation.<\/li>\r\n \t
  15. Can I bring a new carrier that is not yet in your datacenter?<\/strong>\r\nAbsolutely! If you have a carrier that still needs to be put in our datacenter, we will provide the required cabinet space for them free of charge for the first year.<\/li>\r\n \t
  16. Do I need a contract to get colo from you?<\/strong>\r\nYou can choose from month-to-month to a multi-year contract. The choice is yours. Our most important currency is SERVICE. If you use our colo, we know you will love it, so we only require you to have a long-term contract if you are comfortable doing so.<\/li>\r\n \t
  17. Do you offer IPv6?<\/strong>\r\nYes, we do, and it\u2019s free.<\/li>\r\n \t
  18. Can I get more IPv4?<\/strong>\r\nYes, you can. There is a fee for it.<\/li>\r\n \t
  19. Can I get a wave or transport between Westin and Tukwila datacenter?<\/strong>\r\nYes, Westin and Tukwila have a diverse dark fiber pair with DWDM. We can deliver 10Gig wave as well as 10Gig and 100Gig transport.<\/li>\r\n \t
  20. Do you provide an OOB (out-of-band) connection?<\/strong>\r\nYes, we do offer OOB. This OOB connection is entirely outside our main network. The provider, the physical hardware, and the cabling are different.<\/li>\r\n \t
  21. Can I ship my server to your datacenter?<\/strong>\r\nYes, you can ship our server to our data center. We will rack and label your server for free.<\/li>\r\n \t
  22. Can I get KVM\/IP?<\/strong>\r\nYes, we provide on-demand KVM\/IP free of charge. (10 hours per use \u2013 can be extended when needed)<\/li>\r\n \t
  23. Do you provide an OOB console to troubleshoot my switch\/router\/firewall?<\/strong>\r\nYes, we provide on-demand consoles free of charge. (10 hours per use \u2013 can be extended when needed)<\/li>\r\n \t
  24. Can you set up my network\/switch for me?<\/strong>\r\nYes, we can help you completely set up your switch.<\/li>\r\n \t
  25. If I have multiple cabinets, do I need to pay a monthly fee for Cat5\/6\/7 or a pair of fiber cross-connects between them?<\/strong>\r\nThere is no monthly fee for cross-connects between your cabinets.<\/li>\r\n \t
  26. Can I cross-connect to a cloud provider such as Azure, AWS, or GCP?<\/strong>\r\nAbsolutely! We can interconnect all the major public cloud providers, such as Azure, AWS, GCP, and many other data centers worldwide.<\/li>\r\n \t
  27. What uplink port can I get?<\/strong>\r\nWe can assign cat-x or fiber uplink ports (1\/10\/100 gig ports).<\/li>\r\n \t
  28. Can I connect to a diverse switch?<\/strong>\r\nAbsolutely! We can provide you with 2 uplinks from our diverse switches for redundancy.<\/li>\r\n \t
  29. If I point the switch port to the back of the cabinet, my switch airflow flows to the front. Is this a problem?<\/strong>\r\nYou should get a switch with the proper airflow direction to keep our cold aisle cold. If you are not picky about what switch to use, please get in touch with us. We stock many switches we can recommend, sell, or rent to you, so you don\u2019t need to worry about sourcing another switch. Alternatively, you can install the switch in the correct airflow orientation and plug in the cables from the front of the cabinet.<\/li>\r\n \t
  30. I have 2 cabinets full of servers in my office. Can you move all of my servers into your data center\r\n<\/strong>Absolutely. If you are within 50 miles of our datacenter (12201 Tukwila Int Blvd, Tukwila, WA 98168), we will even do the physical move for free! (Note: Free physical move requires a minimum of full cabinet colo). We have moved over 200 cabinets (thousands of servers) into our datacenter to give you peace of mind. Some completely moved the whole cabinet full of servers, while others involved removing them from the cabinet and putting them into padded boxes. This applies typically if we are not reusing the cabinet from the originating space.<\/li>\r\n \t
  31. Can you move cabinet\/servers from one of my datacenters to another, not your datacenter?<\/strong>\r\nYes, we can move servers between 2 offices\/datacenters that do not belong to us. Let us know your needs, and we will be happy to help!<\/li>\r\n \t
  32. Do you offer remote hands in datacenter outside IGW?<\/strong>\r\nYes, let us know what or where you need help.<\/li>\r\n \t
  33. I have hundreds of VMs in my current datacenter and would like to move them to a different one. Can you help?<\/strong>\r\nAbsolutely! We once moved thousands of production VMs spread over 15 cabinets (in 1 data center in Kansas City) and consolidated them into 2 cabinets in IGW.<\/li>\r\n \t
  34. I am not in the Seattle area. What can you do to take care of my colo needs?<\/strong>\r\nOur customers worldwide never set foot in our datacenter to rack or troubleshoot their servers. We can do 100% of all the physical aspects of running your colo hardware. We also use 3rd party colo to know what we want or need, and we design or offer such wants or needs to our customers who wish to avoid visiting our DC to take care of their hardware. Things that we can do for you: Rack your servers, install\/IP PDU, cable all servers, label all devices, audit your cabinet, organize\/audit your storage for spare equipment, troubleshoot your server (replace the CPU, RAM, power supplies, and raid controller), build server, and box up your hardware for outbound delivery. We aim to make it easy for you to operate your computer in our datacenter.
