We're being booted from one of our main colo data centers by C&W closing 
down that facility.

Our main priorities for picking a new data center to locate in are:
1. not having to move again within three years
2. physical security (or at least the impression thereof.  We don't have 
unprotected consoles or anything, but as an ASP, we need an impressive 
facility for dog and pony shows.)
3. multiple providers (preferably carrier neutral, but so long as we can 
get 1Gb from another provider, even if via something like Telseon, 
that's OK.)

Our other main datacenter is in an Equinix site, so for risk management, 
we don't want to go into any other Equinix site.

So anyone have any insight as to who will be around within 3 years?

Thanks
