Someone mentioned Sunguard. They are decent. In the 10+ years I have had access to their colo, it has become less helpful. They have been good solid network, and space providers. They do have space available in the colo, and they have cube and meeting space for your DR needs. They are a tad expensive, but part of that is also having staff on site 24/7 to do some hands on work for you.
For instance of the hands on stuff. We have a switch that on occasion decides to flake out. When it does, traffic slows, and eventually stops. We have a red ribbon on the power cord for the switch, we call up, they go pull the cord and plug it back in. No one has to drive in to fix the problem. When I say they are less helpful now. When we first went into the space, there was a lot of very knowledgable people there, and they could help on a lot of issues. We didn't need it much then, but it gave us nice warm fuzzies for it being available. Recently we where being attacked as part of an amplification attack. The new support in Colorado didn't have access/software/support to help us understand the problem, and correct it. They just sugested giving us more bandwidth temporarily to cope. But of course that would have just helped someone else suffer more. Out of the 10+ years there, we have only had 1 power failure, 1 cooling issue, and I think 1 network issue. The power was due to a transformer fire and OEM telling them to turn off the generator. The cooling issue was just a issue where they didn't install additional cooling soon enough. It only caused one machine to reboot. That same machine is working on a over 2k day uptime now. ----- Original Message ----- > Had a call from my nephew this afternoon.
