1. Evaluation of Potential Colocation Providers
See the responses from various providers to our ColocationQuoteRequest. Where available, their actual responses are provided as attached PDF files.
1.1. GAIA Host
GAIA contacted us after receiving the quote request, but it has taken them more than a week to give us a follow-up quote. So far, they are the only provider in the list who is willing to sell us hardware. However, it seems that they would be putting it in a data center like one of the larger providers below, such as He.net or Peer 1. I don't know if we need this middle layer between our members and the colocation providers.
1.2. He.net
If we can stay under 1MB/s, the rate for bandwidth plus up to 7U is $300/month.
He.net does not sell hardware.

1.3. InReach
Didn't receive reply to first email sent on 4/8/2006 to sales@inreach.com, sent second email on 4/17/2006 with our form quote request.
1.4. Peer 1
Peer 1 offers a quarter cabinet for 10U. A fast ethernet port with a 5MB/s connection is provided. Monthly costs for the space will be $750, and there would be a $400 initial charge for installation of the space.
Peer 1 does not sell hardware.
