Miami Exchange and the Future

We recently took a new large cage at the Miami Exchange datacenter in Miami. MiaX meets the same rigorous standards set by NAP of Americas, where our servers are curently housed. MiaX was recently purchased by the Carlye Group, which run several datacenters and are one of the largest investment firms in the world (as most of you probably know). The have spent tens of millions of dollars in upgrading the current floor we have our new cage in, and plan to spend much more in the coming year

Last year, around October, NAP came up with new policies that effectively capped our growth in that datacenter. They introduced a new policy restricting the amount of power we can draw per square feet, allowing us to effectively house less than 15 servers per rack. NAP has some of the most expensive power and spacing prices in the US, and this unreasonable cap on power forced us to reconsider our current and future plans at the NAP.

We have built a solid relationship with the new MiaX management, being one of their first customers. Some big firms are already planning to move into MiaX and the management has high hopes that MiaX is would be the new hub for internet services in the Miami region.

Given the high costs to continue and expand at the NAP, and the facilities, flexibility and space at MiaX, we are pinning our future in this new facility. We plan to start adding new servers at MiaX, starting from a new hsphere cluster. We have our own private 1gbps connection between the datacenters establish a layer2 private network. This means all new servers at MiaX would be on the same network as servers currently in the NAP

We are planning to introduce new services such as dedicated servers, linux virtuozzo VPS, exchange hosting, coldfusion 7, mssql2005, windows media hosting all within a 3 month time-frame. Resellers will also be able to re-sell windows & linux vps and dedicated servers using HSPComplete.
