Go to So. San Francisco (200 Paul; who runs that?) and choose an
alternate, significant (ATT/Sprint/MCI), provider. If something
happens that is big enough to knock out that site *and* your San Jose
site then probably most people in the company are dead, together with
millions of people in the SF Bay area. So the unavailability of
servers, belonging to a company not willing to put something in New
Jersey because it is too far away, becomes pretty insignificant at
that point.
