Details of this web hosting plan: The State of Managed Co-Location

There are hundreds of companies in the United States providing managed co-location services and thousands providing unmanaged or semi-managed services. Since 2000, many of these companies have failed. The ones who continue to survive often do so by liquidating their capacity as quickly as possible, even if doing so results in negative cash flow, a technique often referred to as a "fire sale." Very few providers are able to provide personalized service due to the economies of scale required to successfully operate a co-location facility.

The Black Lotus Diffrence..

Ever feel like you\'re not alone? Perhaps it is because there are hundreds of your competitors in the same facility, using the same bandwidth. Where is your market niche?

Despite the industry trend, it is our goal to remain small and personalized while offering a super premium service unparalleled by any other. It is for this reason that we accept new customers on a case-by-case basis only after spending time to understand the business of our potential customers. Additionally, we keep our staffing levels at the highest ratio of staff to customers one is likely to find. With Black Lotus, there is a reduced concern that your market niche will be threatened as you are co-located on a limited, private network that offers IT/IP resources superior to that of your competition. We operate cash flow positive and carry a negligible amount of debt.

Generally, we will not require a contract. We are so confident about our quality of service that we will allow you to leave at any time.

The Black Lotus Facility

Our managed co-location facility is located in the heart of Los Angeles, CA at 600 W. 7th St. on the 3rd floor. "600" is one of the most economical locations in the region with some of the lowest costs per square foot and per amp of electricity. Space is available from Black Lotus per rack unit, per 20A or 40A cabi net, and per 100 square feet of cage space (with 90 days advance notice). Common tenants include XO Communications and Equinix. Fiber transport is readily available between 600 and many other locations throughout the Los Angeles region.

The Black Lotus network

The Black Lotus network is a fully multi-homed, BGP network completely contained with the Los Angeles metropolitan area that operates on AS32421. All traffic is quickly exchanged locally via Riverstone RS8000 Metro Cores without transport to other cities. In addition to an impressive array of private peers, Black Lotus uses premium bandwidth which includes routes from Mzima, Global Crossing, and Level(3). Absoutely no lesser quality routes are included. We currently have several gigabit of metro capacity. Unlike much of our competition, we are very careful to avoid saturation and continually operate at astoundingly low saturation to capacity ratios. This network is backed up by an aggressive 99.99% network availability Service Level Agreement (SLA).

The Black Lotus Quality

When you do business with Black Lotus, you can rest assured that your interests are being handled and protected by educated, experienced, and competent individuals. Each member of our management has over 10 years experience and at least a four year degree in computer sciences, information services, or information technology from a prestigious university. When you communicate with a Black Lotus consultant, you will quickly understand the qualifications of the person you are speaking with based on the qualifications listed in his/her signature. Education, experience, and accountability are fundamental principles here at Black Lotus.
