Can anyone point me to a set of standards that define a "Class A Data Center?" I'm not asking for requirements, but an actual pointer to standards hammered out by an organization or governing body.
"must have connectivity from a Tier-1 provider"? :)
Both "We have a Class A Data Center" and "We are a Tier-1 provider" translate to "I am a salesperson." HTH. HAND. -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Administration - jay@west.net WestNet: Connecting you to the planet. 805 884-6323 WB6RDV NetLojix Communications, Inc. - http://www.netlojix.com/
