For a few years, Norman Jester ran a colocation data center in name only.

Clients hired him to house their computer equipment, but he had no place of his own to put them. So he rented space from competitors.

?We were a customer of many, many data centers across the United States,? said Jester, CEO of Otay Mesa Data Center, which, until recently, was called Suavemente.

Jester started the business in 2004. In 2006, he decided to build out his own self-standing data center in Otay Mesa and spent about two years and $1.4 million renovating the facility, adding environmental systems, waterless fire suppression, server racks and wiring.

?I did it slowly out of my own pocket. I cash and carried the whole way through because I don?t like owing anyone money,? he said.

Data centers are essentially large, air-conditioned warehouses ? connected by multiple Internet lines ? that provide a place for clients? servers. They save customers headaches associated with running an in-house computer operation.

?They come to the data center and we provide the connection,? Jester said. "
