A Message from Exodus (fwd)
Uggggh. So many people have requested this privately, I can't take it! So, here goes. Note that some of the information in the spam is totally false. Some is just plain funny/silly, such as: "If GTE/BBN has a brown-out tomorrow, their customers are out of luck if their network fails. At Exodus, traffic for all of our customers would just get rerouted either though our own backbone, or through another major Internet carrier (like UUNet)." Regards, -asr

Gentlemen,
I would to talk with your company to see if we could provide some of = our Internet data center services for use in your business. In a nutshell, our primary focus is to provide a world-class facility for managing the Internet portion of an organization's data center. For a lot of our clients (including several ISPs), our US facilities are their ONLY data center facilities. Companies like Hotmail, iVillage, Geocities, CondeNet, and USAToday run all of their server hardware in our buildings. On the ISP side of the equation, we have connections with nearly every public and private Internet exchange in the US and are expanding into both Europe and Asia. If GTE/BBN has a brown-out tomorrow, their customers are out of luck if their network fails. At Exodus, traffic for all of our customers would just get rerouted either though our own backbone, or through another major Internet carrier = (like UUNet). As a policy, we always add more physical bandwidth when we reach 50% of capacity.
I would really appreciate it if you could point me to someone there in management who might be interested in spending a lot less money on your equipment infrastructure and more on your core business. Here are some bullet points for you to consider...
