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
