I have a client that is looking to move from one colo facilty to another more provider-neutral facility. They are wanting to be able to purchase transit directly from several carriers without being steered one way or the other. So, if they want 100mbits from carrier 'A' and carrier 'B', they simply want to pay a cross-connect and be done with that part. Of course fees to the tranist provider would be paid. So with that said, what are the list's preferences regarding OneWilshire vs. Equinix in Los Angeles? Do any of the tier[1-2] guys prefer one over the other? We have seen both and most of the big players are in both. What about the more middle guys? The peering in EquinixLA seems about ready to take off. While PAIX at OneWilshire is just getting started. Does anyone expect one of the peering effors to dominate and the other stagnate? From a "being able to purchase transit" point of view, they both seem an excellent choice. From a "how does the wiring look" point of view, one of them ... ahem ... needs improvement, *cough* 4th floor. So, I guess the whole point is, "what am I not seeing that would steer me (nee, my client) towards one or the other?" Chris Johnston <[email protected]> 714-306-5746 949-653-8819 (fax)
