Each DC is peered differently, so results will vary quite a bit depending on who you ask and what networks they transverse. I've had great luck with a server I have in LT's Databank space.

They are both much the same in my opinion - your best looking at where your clients are coming from and compare that with the peering of each to get an answer

Hmm, I'd go with Savvis, I remember there being a few network issues when I was on Databank (while the clients who were hosted on Savvis were fine).

Savvis has better international peering, as they run a big global network.
But yes, you probably want a west coast server.

- For our east coast location, mornings start out with an 18% SAVVIS lead, but by 15:00 Eastern, it's a dead heat, and by 18:00, Databank has a 6% advantage.
- For our west coast location, the swings are far more drastic. At 14:00 eastern, SAVVIS still has a 25% advantage, but by 15:00 eastern, Databank had a 260% advantage, and that advantage continues to hold through at least 19:30 eastern.
Summary:
- During peak traffic times, it appears that SAVVIS is very weak on the west coast, and slightly weaker on the east coast.
- For east and central clients, it doesn't matter much which one you use. 80% of the US internet users are east of the Mississippi.
- SAVVIS is not a general technology location. It's focus is servers for large corporations.
- Databank is a general technology location that supports a lot of different technologies besides internet servers.
- SAVVIS will always have the most reliable DC since that is their entire focus.
- Databank gives better performance more places during busy times. Because of the difference in times between east and west coast, it appears that the Databank advantage comes from its connections, and not because of a low server count in the DC. Traceroutes and packet sniffing show the SAVVIS network segments, wherever they occur, are approximately 18% slower than Sprint when busy.
I make no claims that our research is in depth or studied over long periods of time. I'm simply saying we have had routing issues at SAVVIS for months, and will be moving inside SAVVIS or to Databank. The tests were not performed against our own server which has known routing issues, but to their test servers in each facility. There actually wasn't much difference between our server and the SAVVIS test server which momentarily makes me lean a little more toward Databank.Last edited by IT_Architect; 11-11-2006 at 12:23 AM.

PS: I must say that I feel more secure in SAVVIS where it was designed from the ground up for internet server communications rather than a renovated building that used to house the Federal Reserve, and where there not only servers, but telecoms also doing the VOIP switching and a 100 other things going on, on the network, and renting space to various businesses. I think the bottom line is you have two pretty good choices with some trade-offs.
