Datacenters in Boston area

[Ben Eisenbraun]

*sigh*  Must sleep more.

The first group are just colocation providers.  The small ones rent space in 
someone else's datacenter and the larger ones own their own DCs.

>  * Towardex - Emailed for quote on the Boston DC.
>  * Switch & Data - DC in Waltham. 42U minimum.
>  * Internap - DC in Somerville. 42U minimum.
>     o Fluid Hosting - They offer colo in Internap's DC. Accepts 1U. Too pricey.
>     o Colospace - Another Internap customer. Accepts 1U.
>     o Server City - Via Internap again. Good prices. Accepts 1U. 
>  * Navisite - DC in Andover.
>  * Boston Datacenters - Huge! 15U minimum.
>  * Hosting.com - Big building/operation.
>  * Northeast Data Vault - Located in Marlboro, MA underneath the old RCN office.
>  * MCI Colocation - 3 flavors to choose from.
>  * Level 3 - 70 DCs across the US.
>     o Iland - Rents colo space from L3. Pretty good pricing. 
>  * Vericenter - Somewhere in Boston.
>  * Basespace.net - Alex Aminoff's business.

This is the actual DC list.  The "who's got the best DC in Boston" topic comes 
up on the BBLisa mailing list with some regularity.  Most of the anecdotal 
quotes are from that list.
