> We however found that our co-working space - WeWork has an excellent server hosting solution. We could put the servers on the same floor as our office and they would provide redundant power supply, cooling and internet connection. This entire package is available at a much cheaper rate and we immediately jumped on this. Right now all servers are securely running in our office.

Nice! How much does this cost?

$40 per server per month. Includes bandwidth, cooling and internet.
What connection deal do you get for that? Does it have uninterruptible power supply?
Yes, UPS + 2 independent power lines. Our server has a dual power input PSU. If either power fails, the other one keeps it running.
Thanks for your answer. That sounds good on power.

My first "connection" question was about Internet connection though.

Can you get e.g. 10 Gbit/s, and is there a traffic limit?

How bout compliance concerns? SOC and some of those are going to want to see super sophisticated datacenter ops/security/etc
Sounds like a bargain.

Any idea how long your servers will last until you need to upgrade to the latest GPU/HW?

3 years is what we planned. Any extra time we get will be a plus.
