You know you’re in a data centre colocation building when most all of the rooms are filed with tall metal cabinets 19 inches wide and filled with data processing equipment and 23 inch racks filled with telecommunications equipment.
You know you’re in a data centre colocation building when you see fire detectors every 6 feet and two kinds of fire suppression system pipes running at cabinet top height every where theres space to put one.
You know you’re in a data centre colocation building when the temperature is constantly at 20 degrees Celsius and the humidity is at 50%.

You know you’re in a data centre colocation building when you’re standing in a huge room filled with millions of dollars worth of data equipment protected by the latest state of the art security system and in the middle is a chain link fence around an old style equipment rack protecting an ancient server PC with a cheap dollar store padlock and a stick on temperature thermometer on the front door.
