If you've shopped for colocation services within Texas,


you know that Texas data centers may offer lower costs when compared to other sites within the United States


Colo Providers Reluctant to Publish Prices Online


Most data centers would rather give you a quote based on your organization's needs rather than publish their prices online


Texas Data Centers vs. West Coast Data Centers


In LA, businesses can buy an entire rack that consists of:


• 42Us of server rack space


• 20 amps of power


• 30TBs of bandwidth


• 100Mbps network uplink


• 32 IP addresses


• Remote KVM access


For $999 per month


Compare this offering with ViaWest, who operates a data center in Austin, Texas

• 20 amps of power


• 10Mbps of bandwidth

Most data center providers ask that you submit information in order to obtain a quote;


admittedly, $395 per month is probably the bottom of the range for published colocation pricing


Texas Data Centers vs. East Coast Data Centers


For 42U, 20 amps, and 30 Mbps of bandwidth, you can get a full rack in New York City for $1,750 per month through the Zayo Group

Within other parts of Texas, data center space is readily available
