Re: Googling on IPv6 and HE to 20G
Greetings Just wanted to bump this discussion. I just had a conversation with a VP with DataBank, a data center service provider here in the Twin Cities metro, about MICE and the current state of the exchange. During that conversation, I had mentioned that the exchange is looking to grow into a secondary site and that the exchange was in the very preliminary stages of discussing a new site. As a result of this conversation, they expressed a lot of interest in donating space, power, and cross-connect services out of their brand new facility in Eagan for a secondary leaf site for MICE. They said they could possibly assist in locating some dark fiber between the two sites as well if the exchange decided to go with DataBank for their secondary site. This Eagan site has close proximity to the AccessEagan network as well as a number of providers that may be interested in participating in the exchange. Below is a link showing where this facility is located: https://www.google.com/maps/place/3255+Neil+Armstrong+Blvd,+Eagan,+MN+55121/... I emphasized that the exchange is in the very early stages of discussion about a secondary site. I also mentioned that the exchange is hosting an user group here on January 14th. DataBank would be very interested in dialing into the conference bridge to talk about what they have to offer. If this is something that the exchange would like to pursue, please let me know and I can forward along the user group conference bridge information to the proper DataBank personnel. DataBank also mentioned that they would be able to provide a tour of the new facility during the early part of the third week of January if there’s any interest in checking out the new facility. Thoughts? Thanks in advance. Jake
If they would operate in a neutral way, I would welcome it... Reid On Dec 30, 2014 5:08 PM, "Jake" <jake.lubitz@enventis.com> wrote:

I would like to offer an alternative. Atomic Data (an existing MICE participant) operates a carrier-neutral colocation facility in the old Federal Reserve Bank building (250 Marquette Ave, Minneapolis, MN). We have over 15,000 sq ft of raised floor data center space enclosed inside of the old vault. We have established a carrier-neutral meet-me cage and have brought in fiber optic facilities from XO, CenturyLink (QCC and QC), Time Warner Telecom, Cogent, Level3, and Comcast thus far. Our model is very similar to what would be available at 511. Customers can order cross-connects to any carrier in our facility. I would like to propose that Atomic Data will donate to MICE a free cabinet in our data center with power included. Any current or future customer of Atomic will be provided a free copper-based gigabit cross connect to a MICE switch located in this cabinet upon request. Please let me know of your interest in this offer. Happy New Years! Thanks, Larry Patterson Larry Patterson Chief Technology Officer ---- Atomic Data // Safe. Simple.

Marty, Without sounding like a "us too" message, I'm also publicly offering that ipHouse become a leaf node. Many of you heard from me off list about this last fall. Connecting a leaf node to the core of MICE is something that needs to be considered before making any decision as how to expand the exchange. An important differentiator for ipHouse, we have the capacity to get to the 511 via our existing connection. We are proposing that we connect the ipHouse facility to MICE with 10G optics (expandable as growth occurs) on our existing dark fiber connection. We can provide MICE any necessary space and power within the ipHouse facility. To answer your question directly about cross connects, there are fees to connect into the ipHouse data center from elsewhere in our building, but for those who are colocated within our data center, a GigE cross connect to MICE is included with colo. Our facility is very well connected, below is a list of carriers with networks in our building. There are several individual networks under common ownership here (e.g. Zayo or Windstream), but the individual network footprints have reach, which could be attractive to potential members of MICE. CenturyLink / Qwest (QC/QCC) Cologix / MN Gateway / FWR Enventis (Hickorytech / CP Telecom) Integra (Electric Lightwave / Frontier) Level3 (Global Crossing / Time Warner Telecom) TDS Metrocom (US Link) Verizon / MCI / WorldCom / Metropolitan Fiber Systems Windstream (KDL / McLeod / Norlight/ PAETEC) Zayo (360 Networks / American Fiber Systems / Touch America) It sounds like this is a topic that should be on the agenda.

Hey Bill. Agreed. I have a few points with respect to this, but I'll keep it brief. Without port fees or donations, MICE has no capital for hardware. In the scenario above, I'd argue it would be better to deal with a building owner directly (where the owner isn't also in retail colo) to insure neutrality and to keep interconnection costs to a minimum. Not having to traverse a suite would keep the extended interconnect fees at or near null. Finally, this would also address the density issue we are facing here. The bigger the exchange grows in its single location, the more dense the colo becomes network wise and the less likely we're going to be able to see a robust and distributed internet. You don't need to look far to see that in the big metros everyone builds wave systems back to a SPOF. This market is still not that mature and doing something now vs. later would likely benefit it. For some data center operators, this is may be hard pill to swallow which is why exclusivity arrangements should be verboten. For most, it means having access to the differentiator and creating competition based on the real estate and energy costs. Thats good for network operators and good for the market IMHO. Best, -M<
Marty, Here are the rates from our standard collocation agreement. Let me know if you have any questions. Once again, I want to stress we are operating a carrier neutral facility with all providers in our meet-me space. No building riser charges apply. We are SOC-3 and staffed by NOC 24/7 onsite.
