<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Consolas">Interesting cabling broker idea…. I wonder ;-)</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Consolas">I’ve been looking at trying to put together a map of Globalswitch (with their co-operation) mainly detailing the rooms and primary cable runs so it would make it easier for parties to figure out where they are and the costs perhaps associated with interconnection.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Consolas">It would probably not be wise to specifically detail the location of parties unless they were happy to do so, but key providers like Pipe Networks would surely be happy to detail their major interconnection points and cage areas.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Consolas">I have a map which details some aspects.. and will redo it in Visio soon and make it available so that parties who are interested can provide the details of where they are to make it easier for those who want to interconnect. Is this worthwhile doing for Equinix? Probably not as xconnects are handled by them.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Consolas">If anyone wants any low capacity VLAN’s between Level 2 North and South and Level 4 North, then several of my customers would probably be interested in providing cheap VLAN’s between locations… let me know if anyone needs something.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Consolas">Also, for any parties outside Sydney, we already provide services to a number of ISPS’s where equipment is shipped to us, stripped of packaging (no place to dispose at GS), configured according to requirements (sometimes just ILO, sometimes a basic install) and then installed into racks in GS or Equinix and remote-hands as required. We have half a dozen staff inducted into both Globalswitch and Equinix DC’s with specific access to areas being arranged as required. If anyone needs this sort of service, please contact me.</FONT></SPAN></P>

<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Consolas">It maybe too late now that it's almost full, but one wonders if you could build a business as a cabler by purchasing two racks (MMR1, 2) and running cables (probably mainly fibre in GS) from each end of a xconnect to your racks rather than direct and then being able to sell xconnects by the month (ie. first xconnect pays for the cabling, second, third hopefully ride for free as you can just patch inside your racks).</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Consolas">Just need a quick ordering/billing system and probably a systematic way of labeling each fibre tray and being able to do it at low cost so you don't burn TOO much. Maybe an exclusive deal contract so people don't use you only for expensive runs. At $100/month for a fibre xconnect it's probably a doable business as long as you have a bit of cash to burn to start up.</FONT></SPAN></P>
