Hello. I am fairly new to Datacenter stuff ect.
I was just wondering, (I have everything else figured out) How to do all the High internet connection stuff ect.

Just a little help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Just need a core router, that will terminate the cross connections, we use the Juniper M40 on Gige or fast ethernet ports.. From there we push to a high end switch or router..

To elaborate further on what prospeednet mentioned, here is a deeper understanding of IP Connectivity to a datacenter. Here is a common scenario.

Company has a datacenter. The contacts a bandwidth provider (Level3, Verizon, Sprint, Qwest....it can be one of the millions of providers out there)... The bandwidth provider will run a circuit to the Company's datacenter. The company then uses a router to connect their internal network to the bandwidth provider's connection. From the router, the company connects a switch which in turn connects the company's workstations and servers to the internet.

If you need any pricing for Internet bandwidth, please let me know and I can give you some estimated numbers. I work with Global Crossing, Level 3, XO, ATT and QWEST.

Good Luck with your new center.
