[AusNOG] Second Melbourne Pop M2 or ME1

[Nathan Brookfield]

Matt,

I believe Micron21 are doing a dark pair from M1 to ME1 for $300ex a month.  This makes it a lot more competitive, $1500 is way to rich for such a short path.

We are in 55 Crockford, NextDC and Equinix, you wouldn't be disappointed ed by Equinix.

Kindest Regards,
Nathan Brookfield

We are looking at setting up a second Melbourne POP site diverse from Next DC M1

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.

Matthew
