PIPEX ServerBank and thebunker.net do seem to be the most widely known 'nuclear-proof' secure datacentres, but there are others out there. The big gotcha seems to be getting the electrics, cooling and being on-net to multiple fibre providers to match the physical security. Thats where most of the others don't score so well IMHO, excepting the host of government/finance/etc facilities that don't sell space to anyone anyway. -- Ian Dickinson Development Engineer PIPEX ian.dickinson@pipex.net http://www.pipex.net This e-mail is subject to: http://www.pipex.net/disclaimer.html -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog@merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu]On Behalf Of Alistair Cockeram Sent: 17 July 2004 22:59 To: Stephen J.

If we're thinking of the same company its XTML/Telenor/Nextra/GXN/Pipex (or whatever its called this week :)
Theyre the most well known that I'm aware of and they have an underground former bank vault but it'll cost you a fair bit
http://www.thebunker.net is the one that comes to my mind when I think of "ex millitary, bomb proof colo facility". -- Alistair Cockeram, Badford UK
