I don't own a hosting company (never did and don't think I will), so my interest in visiting some datacenters was purely out of personal curiosity to better understand the industry.
I have visited 2 datacenters in my life:
Peer1 Network in Montreal (twice during the web hosting parties that we organized in Montreal). I was very impressed with the whole setup, especially that they are located in a skyscraper office building (it was a bit unusual to me). Both times they mixed us some drinks, too. :shh:
iWeb Technologies in Montreal. Now this reminded me of a real datacenter as they had the whole building for themselves. A huge room almost packed with servers (they are building another one in Montreal area), nice office on the second floor, plenty of people running around...
I'm looking forward to see Jeff's GNAX datacenter someday that he also advertises in TheWHIR.
So which datacenters have you visited before?
Best,
