Last year, Amazon rolled out AWS Direct Connect, which lets you connect your physical servers via a low-latency network pipe directly to AWS. This seems a perfect solution for building a hybrid cloud - e.g. if your database server needs more horsepower than Postgres-on-EC2 can yield. But the Direct Connect marketing is (naturally) geared toward enterprises with a presence at Equinix, Level 3, etc.
It seems to me that there must be resellers with existing cages at these data centers where I could rent a single unmanaged server. But, of course, resellers don't tend to advertise which data center they're colo'd in.
How can I go about finding Direct Connect-capable, unmanaged server resellers? I'm looking specifically at US-East in Northern VA.
