Any Verizon datacenter techs about?

Be prepared to drop a lot of money for colocation with Verizon. Also,
quoting process is rather long and you will have to sign a NDA most likely,
which just makes it even more fun. For the size of your project I'd pick a
provider that focuses on colocation for small and medium businesses and is
easier to work with.
