I'm not arguing that getting transit via an XP fabric is a bad idea - as long as the XP provider gets beefy enough switching and as long as the transit providers have enough ports into their routers from the XP fabric, it's a fine idea - much better than lots of rack-rack cables.
But boxes w/ hard drives are a different story IMO.
Agreed. IMO, the best place for these things is one hops away from an XP, either in a provider's network or behind a content provider's router that's connected to the XP. -dorian
