VOT - rack space

There's been a flurry of OT computer questions lately, but I'm going
to push my luck with another one....

I want some rack space in Manchester (for about 4-6 servers plus
switchgear). Don't have massive data requirements, but very much
mission-critical. Service is the key rather than absolute lowest
cost.

Anyone got any recommendations? I don't want London, because I want
to get physical access without a 5 hour drive...

Manchester Uni rings a bell - they offer up space in their comms rooms IIRC

Got Si, thanks. They do - trouble is everyone offers space, and they
all offer 'unrivalled service and reliability' or variations thereof.
But they would say that, wouldn't they....

There are a number of options - I think you could do worse than give
me a call
