Being an ex-WorldCom employee, I would second UUNet (now using the MCI
moniker, find them here - http://global.mci.com/wholesale/
<http://global.mci.com/wholesale/> ). The majority of North America's
Internet traffic goes through Northern Virginia and both Above and UU have
nationwide fiber rings with multiple paths for redundancy. You might also
want to check out Digex which is the managed hosting provider of UU.
As for power redundancy, ask them if they are on their own power grid and/or
have access to multiple.

Subject: Way OT: Internet Backbone
We have a way OT issue to work through and thought you folks here may be
able to help...
We have a critical client with absolute mission critical functionality that
needs to be able to function even in emergency and regional outages. What I
am starting to research for the first time on this scale is the proper
distribution of data centers and redundant blah blah blah...and I am at the
point of backbones and providers. Is there such an animal as a map that
demonstrates higher concentration of backbone areas? Would a major ISP even
give up that info...we are sensitive to security obviously but before I
start that route I was wondering if there was some "generalized" source that
just says, hey here works great and here in each region. I hate to just
toss a pin at a major city centers as I believe we could identify better and
more relevant criteria.
If you happen to have experience in such requirements, even drop us a line.
We don't want to recreate the darned wheel.
Does that make sense? Thanks.
