Akamai ist übrigens derzeit der einzige CDN Anbieter, der kostenfrei am Berliner Internet Exchange (BCIX) mit anderen ISPs Daten austauscht. Fragt euren Provider,  ob er schon am BCIX mit Akamai peert, damit auch Ihr die möglichst kleinste Antwortszeit auf die Webseiten der Kunden von Akamai wie apple.com, myspace.com,  mtv.com, maps.nokia.com, tagesschau.de usw. von Berlin aus bekommt.

Habt Spaß bei zwei Stunden Chaosradio mit Elisa und Christian!

I was asked, which colocation providers are available in Berlin today, and here’s my list for you:

Area Lützowstrasse:

Area Gradestrasse:

Area Alboinkontor:

Kitzingstrasse:

And the latest and biggest Data Center in Berlin:

There are a couple of more, but smaller Colos in Berlin where I’ve no details about. Please let me know, and I’ll add them in this article.

If you need an offer for Colo or Rackspace in Berlin, please let me know, also.

With about 30 Euro Ticket fee, it’s not that cheap, but still worth visting  the Gasometer in Berlin Schöneberg. If  78m are to high for you or you don’t have the chance to visit Berlin,  you can enjoy my pictures with flickr slideshow.
