Go to Data Center Map www.datacentermap.com and see who is near/at where you want to host your servers.
Web Hosting Talk (www.webhostingtalk.com) is also worth a look.
These ^ sites aggregate various colo and dedicated server businesses; many of them have larger, more fleshed out cloud options as well. They'll rent you space, rent you severs, or rent you a slice of their cloud -- maybe all of the above. Options range from one-man-shops to regional-heavy-weight MSPs, and sometimes larger.

Bigger colo and dedicated providers I've dealt with are:
- Coresite
- Dupont Fabros
- Equinix
- Atlantic Metro
- Rackspace
- Flexential (formerly Peak10)
- QTS
- Raging Wire (I believe they're NTT)
- Digital Reality (Telx)
- Most large ISPs have their own spaces (Level3, Zayo, Cogent, etc.) and can host your servers or rent you some as well. Usually not competitive in terms of compute, but could offer good deals for bandwidth or other perks
