Matt, Yes we are that is correct. We will be offering COLO and dedicated hosting and need some serious horse-power. Right now, we are set on this..,. ROUTER : 2 * Juniper M40's, these will be connected from day one to darkfibre. DISTRID : 2 * Extreme BlackDiamonds with redundant routing engines. (highly considering the BigIrons) AGGREG : These would be a mix of Extreme Alpines/BigIron4000 - 8000/Summit 48i's depending on whether we are offering colo, ded-hosting, managed services etc... ACCESS : Extreme Summit 24e3 or Foundry series. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any more questions.

The reason I am asking this is a company called Yipes (yipes.com) uses a similiar setup: Black Diamond for high-density switching and Juniper M20/40s for the routing services. I cannot say anything for the Black Diamond, except Yipes uses them. I am using Alpine 3808s and Summit 48sis, along with Juniper M10 routers at my datacenter. The Alpine switching have alot of nice features on them. If you are doing dedicated server/colocation, I would assume you need a higher density than I am needing. Anyways, just wanted to put my $.02 in. Matt

I recommend you to stay away from the 24e3:s if possible. Try to get the 48si instead if you can. The 24e3 does policing, and it does it badly. The 48si does real shaping if you need it. The 48si is a very nice box I'd say, good price point, good options. If you only need 10 or 100 and never need to sell 50 meg or so, then the 24e3 might be an option. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
Mikael, The 24e3 would be used for dedicated-servers only, for colocation/trasnit selling we will be using the Summit 48I. Thanks Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any more questions.
