PIPEX ServerBank and thebunker.net do seem to be the most widely known 'nuclear-proof' secure datacentres, but there are others out there. The big gotcha seems to be getting the electrics, cooling and being on-net to multiple fibre providers to match the physical security. Thats where most of the others don't score so well IMHO, excepting the host of government/finance/etc facilities that don't sell space to anyone anyway. -- Ian Dickinson Development Engineer PIPEX [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pipex.net
