Particularly of interest would be "established standards" for "Class A Datacenter" specifically relating to the physical plant -- Power, cooling, physical security, etc. I think we can all agree in general on N+1 everything, and we can go round and round again on what exactly constitutes "Tier-1 provider," but what about the physical space itself? I can put a fully-redundant network with multiple "Tier-1" connections in my garage but I still wouldn't consider my garage to then be a "Class A Datacenter."

And let's not forget that they need to have good staffing, especially the abuse department. -Jack
