A company I work with (who's servers are located in the San Jose, CA) is
looking to setup some backup servers at a datacenter whose connectivity and
location is off any faultline, or away from other malady, that might effect its
main servers datacenter or connectivity. Problem is, they also want them as
physically close as possible.
Might anyone have any recommendations for datacenters and or ways I can best
determine this?
It does me no good to go to a datacenter whose connectivity also comes
from the same peeing points or fiber that would be effected or take down a
data center in South Bay. Despite being off faultline.

Go to So. San Francisco (200 Paul; who runs that?) and choose an
alternate, significant (ATT/Sprint/MCI), provider. If something
happens that is big enough to knock out that site *and* your San Jose
site then probably most people in the company are dead, together with
millions of people in the SF Bay area. So the unavailability of
servers, belonging to a company not willing to put something in New
Jersey because it is too far away, becomes pretty insignificant at
that point.

Their data center is not near any fault lines. In fact, it's not near much of anything... except Sacramento.
Nice place. Fairly new, and they're pleasant folks to deal with.

We just had an earthquake here in Nebraska. Maybe you want to look
around New Madrid, MO.

Are tornadoes and lightening an issue?

The CoE is pretty strict about what we dump in the river, so I
don't think there are any peeing points that would be useful for you.

Not possible and risky too. The effect of a quake can be worse
further from a faultline. You need to take a look at some maps
of earthquake risk based on the soil type and underlying geology.
Or do what the banks do and set up the backup site in
Sacramento. It's not that far.

This has been all worked out for you by other people who
sited their data centers in Sacramento eons ago.
