I'm assuming when you say "like Equinix" you mean a carrier neutral colo where you can buy from, sell to, and interconnect with other networks in an interesting fashion. If you're just looking for a place to stuff some servers, the answer will be very different. Canada is an odd market, with relatively little competition between carriers (outside of a few locations), and most of the bandwidth controlled by a few large incumbents. The biggest and most interesting facility for carrier neutral services is 151 Front in Toronto, where nearly every bit in the region goes. Switch and Data (now Equinix) is one major colo and IX operator in the building, but there are many more, and a building MMR. Technically this makes it more like a 111 8th than an Equinix. :) In Montreal there is Canix (www.canix.ca), which operates multiple facilities throughout the city, and is the defacto standard for carrier neutral colo there. This is probably the closest thing you'll find to an Equinix. If there is anything interesting going on in Vancouver I haven't heard of it, but I don't know the market well enough to say for certain. Everywhere else is either too small to care about on a national scale, or is serviced by non-neutral colos (e.g. Peer1, etc). -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)
