Hello NANOG!

Does anyone know of some strong datacenters in northwestern NJ, or north of Westchester NY without getting too far away from NYC?

I'm looking for a DR colo solution for a site that is in NYC; this needs to be at least 50m away from NYC, but I'm trying to keep it not too much further than that for convenience. I'm also trying to keep this to top level providers as there may be compliance requirements.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Might be better off going to Philly, its only about an hour and a half away,
and you'll likely have better connectivity options. Most of the big data
centers in NJ are well within the 50 mile requirement (Bergen County,
Hoboken, Newark, Jersey City).

Sungard has some nice datacenters in Philly. I'm in one that's still
being built out, and I haven't regretted it yet.

Cervalis (Wappinger Falls) is a decent facility.

There is at least one regional provider (Lightower) in there with a
good fiber foot-print. They can get you to mid-hudson valley, nyc, nj,
Long Island and Mass. I believe they cover PoPs in the Boston and
Albany area.

I haven't worked with them personally but am aware of FiberTech and have
spoken with them.

Washington DC is just an Acela train ride away if you are willing to go a bit further. It has a lot of fiber connectivity and a good selection of datacenters - plus the Acela train is really comfortable.
