NetSource has been providing colocation services in Chicago for well over 15 years now and we have learned a few things along the way. Data centers come in all shapes and sizes and selecting the correct provider can seem like an uphill battle. The advice that NetSource gives potential clients is to make sure you talk to the people managing the datacenter and visit them before making the final decision.
