Jon Teh was right - it's IBM. I wasn't able to get any details on pricing, so I can only suggest calling them directly.

If they're not overly concerned about being in the middle of Sydney, Global Switch's colo facility may be worth a try. I had a look around their building while it was being built, and it looked OK to my relatively untrained eye. One interesting feature was their "kinetic interim power supply" (or terms to that effect) - a multi-ton concrete cylinder which is kept spinning at some intimidating rate. When the power supply fails, its motor turns into a generator which supplies current until the UPS batteries and/or generators take over. -- Cheers, James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
