1. What is your preventive maintenance (PM) policy for critical infrastructure (and can I see the testing log/file)?
2. Can I see exactly which UPS systems and generator I will be served by (and can you prove they are not oversubscribed)?
3. What do you charge after move in for items such as adding additional power, installing addition network media to my cabinet/cage, etc.?
4. How many customers have you lost in the past year? Can I contact them?
5. Do you own the facility? If not, can I speak with the landlord to verify your standing with them and what happens if you fall behind on rent?
