We’re considering colocation instead of leased dedicated servers.

I’ve never run colo servers before.

1. Can anyone recommend a good colo provider near NYC, or recommend a different one and convince me that I don’t need to be physically near the provider?
2. Is colo likely to be a good idea for us?
3. Do colo facilities offering remote KVM/management require special hardware, like a management card, in each server?
4. Any reason not to go with Dell servers with on-site quick-turnaround warranties?
5. What should I be asking here that I’m not considering?

Thanks.
