A company I work with (who's servers are located in the San Jose, CA) is looking to setup some backup servers at a datacenter whose connectivity and location is off any faultline, or away from other malady, that might effect its main servers datacenter or connectivity. Problem is, they also want them as physically close as possible.
Go to So. San Francisco (200 Paul; who runs that?) and choose an alternate, significant (ATT/Sprint/MCI), provider. If something happens that is big enough to knock out that site *and* your San Jose site then probably most people in the company are dead, together with millions of people in the SF Bay area. So the unavailability of servers, belonging to a company not willing to put something in New Jersey because it is too far away, becomes pretty insignificant at that point. -mark
