Re: Data Centers in England

[Benson Schliesser <bensons () queuefull net>]

Philip-

I'm only really familiar with my employer's facilities: Savvis has  
data centers in London, Slough, and Reading with good exchange  
connectivity*. There is a financial-firm oriented microsite at http://financial.savvis.net/ 
, but beware the annoying* embedded video. You can look at http://www.savvis.net/en-US/Industries/Financial/Pages/Home.aspx 
 for more info, too.

Cheers,
-Benson
