[AusNOG] Second Melbourne Pop M2 or ME1

[Matthew Barnett]

Everyone is saying ME1 is a much better option than M2 being in a new site makes a lot more sense.
The Micron21 dark fibre option being so cheap makes ME1 very affordable and attractive now thanks for the advice.

I think because Equinix ME1 is the latest and newest
datacenter in Melbourne you will see most major network providers in time establish
a network here, as everyone likes being in a new datacenter with everyone else.


Micron21 are offering cheap dark fibre for $300.00 per month
http://melbournedarkfibre.com/
which should make choosing ME1 an easy choice compared to M2

We are looking at setting up a second Melbourne POP site

Our options are setting up in M2 Telecom at King Street because of the connectivity abundance (most providers are
available within M2), but the caveat is that it’s a very old site. The other option we have is choosing Equinix ME1 which is a brand new
site but nobody seems to be really established in this site.

 

I have received quotes for a pair of dark fibre connecting
Next DC M1 to M2 or ME1 and it’s the same price
of  $1,500.00
per month so from what I can tell there is no real benefit in choosing either site as it’s the same price.


How many people are considering setting up a POP into
Equinix ME1 and has anyone done a risk assessment on
it being so close to Next DC M1? The deciding factor I think will be who is and who
won’t be in Equinix ME1 for us, so we would love to
hear any opinions.
