Im looking into setting up a data center, and am looking to peer with the ape, i was wondering how i can do this i am also applying for some IP space from apnic and having a little trouble setting up the PERSOn as it keeps failing.
To peer with APE your probably should talk to citylink as they can advise you of places you can connect to it and then you can work out the best way to get to one of those (or perhaps put your servers there). Setting up your own datacenter can be pretty expensive unless you have a lot of machines you need housed. Is this for Quicker Net or a separate company? If you are in Hamilton there are a couple of little datacenters (The TelstraClear in the middle of town is the one most people use). In Auckland you have other options including some with APE connectivity (and other provider). If you are having problems with the APNIC forms then have a careful read though the docs and if you are still stuck trying ringing them. You probably shouldn't apply for space until you are 100% sure of exactly what you want however. -- Simon J.
