Matt,

Yes we are that is correct.
We will be offering COLO and dedicated hosting and need some serious
horse-power.

Right now, we are set on this..,.

ROUTER : 2 * Juniper M40's, these will be connected from day one to
darkfibre.

DISTRID : 2 * Extreme BlackDiamonds with redundant routing engines. (highly
considering the BigIrons)

AGGREG : These would be a mix of Extreme Alpines/BigIron4000 - 8000/Summit
48i's depending on whether we are offering colo, ded-hosting, managed
services etc...

ACCESS : Extreme Summit 24e3 or Foundry series.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any more questions. 

Best Regards,

Shazad,

    Are you going to do colocation or something like metro-area ethernet
access services to office / colo buildings? The reason I am asking this is
a company called Yipes (yipes.com) uses a similiar setup: Black Diamond
for high-density switching and Juniper M20/40s for the routing services.
I cannot say anything for the Black Diamond, except Yipes uses them. I am
using Alpine 3808s and Summit 48sis, along with Juniper M10 routers at my
datacenter. The Alpine switching have alot of nice features on them. If
you are doing dedicated server/colocation, I would assume you need a
higher density than I am needing.

Anyways, just wanted to put my $.02 in.
