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.</p>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal">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.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal">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.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">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.<span class="ecxHOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><u></u><u></u></font></span></p><span class="ecxHOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><br></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";">Matthew<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><br></p> </font></span></div></div>
