Are there any hosting companies out there who have space in Equinix (any California Equinix will do) with bandwidth supplied by Mzima? We are looking to lease a couple of dedicated servers and/or colocate our own servers. These servers will need to be connected by a switch. Our initial bandwidth requirement is less than 5mbps.

What is the reason you have chosen to use Mzima? In any case, Staminus uses them (as i've recently mentioned on another post) and they purchase transit from Limelight Networks in LAX. From my box at LLNW-PHX3, I can generally ping anywhere on Mzima's network at < 10 ms.

Based on our past experience as well as other posts on this forum, it seems that Mzima has a great network - and as you've said, you were able to ping anywhere on Mzima's network at < 10 ms -- same here as well.

Our product offering is highly database intensive (at any given time, there will be approximately 2000-4000 concurrent users) accessing our servers, therefore we want to make sure that our network is able to deliver even under these conditions.

Do you have a server on their network currently (and/or access to a server/transit connection there)? If so, i'd be interested in talking to you about it off the forums.

No, that's why we are looking for a provider who currently has space at any Equinix facility and who currently has their bandwidth supplied, in whole or in part, by Mzima. We would like to lease dedicated servers (preferably managed) rather than colocating our current servers.

UltraUnixNet -- thanks for the suggestion. I've contacted jupiterhosting for more information. I am impressed with their product offerings.

Maybe you should try staminus.net, they are not @ equinix but use Mzima bandwidth.
