Andy -

    As an FYI, SAS 70 Type II compliance means whatever that  
provider's "SAS 70 Type II" audit document states for controls, i.e.  
there is no specific requirements associated with SAS 70 Type II, only  
that you publish a documented set of management and security controls  
and then are audited for compliance against that list.  That may not  
be realized by the folks who've sent you to go get SAS 70 Type II  
compliant hosting, but is something that you probably want to keep in  
mind since little items like generators and door locks aren't  
necessarily included.
