Let's say I'm into getting 11M IOPS [1] and am ready to get my beast of a server online. Where do I put this? Do I just search for colocations in my area with 100Gbps+ connections?

I always love these DIY server articles and I'm curious about people really running this way. In reality, I'm sure you'd build this into a U[x] chassis with redundant power supplies and maybe NICs. From there I guess you build a second one for real redundancy and then you build a small box purely for load balancing in front of those aaaand down the rabbit hole we go. But, as a start, I'm wondering where you physically place this?
