The BLU is colocated at Northeast Data Vault in Marlborough. I can say
that they have been extremely responsive to any issue that we have. They
have an onsite 24/7 NOC as well as onsite top of the line diesel UPS
systems. Their data center 5 was built about 3 years ago. Both Rick Zach
(founder of Boston User groups wrote a very good testimonial as did I).
