Could someone clarify this: the post says that the servers are in _our_ Data Center in NY and OR. I have always thought that DCs host 100s to 100,000 machines! Is this a colo?

EDIT: What is the typical network utilization for such web-services?

One may comment about where they live by calling it "my apartment complex", for example, even though they merely rent a single unit rather than own the entire complex. I think that's the same verbal construction as here.
