Stas, this ISP is only in idea form now, but we'd basically be doing
for modperl what LoudCloud has done for NT/Oracle/IIS IT. This isn't
just getting a couple boxes hooked up to some bandwidth, this is about
taking care of all the things that ISPs don't normally: web clusters
with fault tolerance & load balancing, firewall / switch security,
intrusion monitoring. These things are reinvented far too many times
for those that even know they should be done.
Further, we'll be looking at the next generation of service provisioning
including geographically distributed serving, and fault tolerant
database setups behind the web cluster architectures. There's a definite
lack of quality in normal web hosting ISPs, and normally they introduce
yet another level of failure such that any quality minded company is
going to need to host their own, and have direct relationships with
data centers.
So, we don't even have a name for it yet, but do appreciate your
willingness to help ...
