Shared cache servers on an island's IXP

Hello,I'm trying to find out the best way to consolidate connectivity on an island.
The current issues are : - Low redundancy of old cables (2) - Low system capacity of said cables (<=20Gbps)- Total service loss when both cables are down because of congestion on satelite backups
- Sheer price of bandwidthOn the plus side, there are over 5 AS on the island, an IXP and small-ish collocation capacity (approx 10kW available, could be upgraded, second site available later this year).
We'd like to host cache servers and/or VMs on the IXP, with an option to anycast many services - without hijacking them, that goes without saying - such as quad-whatever DNS resolvers, NTP servers and whatever else could be useful for weather-induced disaster-recovery and/or offload cables.
Do you think most CDNs, stream services and CSPs could accommodate a scenario where we'd host their gear or provide VMs for them to announce on the local route-servers ? If not, what could be a reasonable technical arrangement ?
Thanks ! -- Jérôme Nicolle +33 6 19 31 27 14
