data center locations - recommendation's

Mailman List Mirror (Read Only)

I am hoping the list can help me out. We need to setup a few data center
locations and I was looking for recommendation’s on City’s and possible
providers to rent space from. I was thinking two within the US to service North
America and possibility also South America. Then also two within Europe. We
would replicate data between the two in Europe and the two within the US but we
would not replicate Europe to US.

o where are your customers?
o what sort of colo do you really need? (space + power + ethernet + ?
how much roughly...)
o what sort of latency is acceptable to the customers for the
applications in question?

Are customers are global

o what sort of colo do you really need? (space + power + ethernet + ?
how much roughly...)

This is not completely know yet but I would say less then 10 racks

o what sort of latency is acceptable to the customers for the
applications in question?

I would like in most cases less then 70ms total but some customers
will be accessing the solution from mobile hand sets so it may be a
bit more due to to delay on GSM networks
