Hello,

I'm trying to find out the best way to consolidate connectivity on an
island.

The current issues are :
- Low redundancy of old cables (2)
- Low system capacity of said cables (<=20Gbps)
- Total service loss when both cables are down because of congestion on
satelite backups
- Sheer price of bandwidth

On the plus side, there are over 5 AS on the island, an IXP and
small-ish collocation capacity (approx 10kW available, could be
upgraded, second site available later this year).

We'd like to host cache servers and/or VMs on the IXP, with an option to
anycast many services - without hijacking them, that goes without saying
- such as quad-whatever DNS resolvers, NTP servers and whatever else
could be useful for weather-induced disaster-recovery and/or offload cables.

Do you think most CDNs, stream services and CSPs could accommodate a
scenario where we'd host their gear or provide VMs for them to announce
on the local route-servers ? If not, what could be a reasonable
technical arrangement ?

Thanks !
