ColoHub/BTCMEQC

According to Tim Mandell with ColoHub, HashCoins/HashFlare has no operation at ColoHub/BTCMEQC.

The specs provided on HashFlare's Datacenter page appear to copy the description and specs of http://colohub.com/ prior to the MW expansion; however, pictures on HashFlare's website show a smaller datacenter.
