ATX Tower Colo

Feb 23, 2007

I have a tower case just under 440mm in height and was wondering where in the UK this could be colo'd?

It's basically a standard tower case you get with PCs bought from places like PC World these days. I just don't want it going to waste under my desk, so was hoping it could be colo'd somewhere.

It's a P4 3.0GHz, 1gB RAM and 200gB HDD PC, so could make good use of it really.

Now I have to say from the kick off that IRC must be allowed by the colo provider.

how I can make use of this wasted box?

Rackmount Or Tower?

Jun 23, 2007

instead of buying a rackmount that holds 16 hard drives that is about 1000$ for the case + power supply.

why not just buy a tower that might cost you $400 + PSU and use that?

my question is wouldnt it be cheaper for me to buy a tower instead of rackmounts if my majority is in space , for example my tower that costed me about $99 holds 12 hard drive bays (this is in my desktop house) , while my 3u rackmount holds 16 hard drives but it was $1000 + PSU included.

Building A 19TB Tower

Dec 22, 2007

I'm building a HDD rack tower because I'm sick of DVDs and external USB drives. I plan on using it as a private FTP and file storage.

I got me a Lian Li PC-V2100A Plus II which can hold up to 19 3.5" drives and I plan to feed it with 1TB SATA HDDs.

The problem is that I neither have an idea which mainboard I should use nor if there's even a power supply that can support this many drives.

Performance doesn't matter to me I'm all about space, I'll probably throw in some old P4 and 1gig RAM.

I was thinking about a Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W PSU but I still don't have an idea which mainboard I should settle with.

Preferably one with 6+ SATA connectors so that I don't have to buy too many controllers.

Take A Colo Package Or Colo In A Carrier Hotel With Your Own Network

Dec 16, 2007

Please give me the difference. Colo in carrier hotel, we can choose our preferred network provider, but should we do that if we cannot have our own tech in datacenter? How about the supporting service from carrier hotel? Just general question, cause I dont address exactly which facility.

And the second would be more expensive? Saying the same number of rack, amount of bandwidth... Who is providing IP addresses then?

Colo- 1U Vs Amp

Mar 29, 2008

I've been out of the game for a while and now looking at colo prices each server is only allocated 0.5a on most plans.

I was looking at purchasing a 1u HP DL160 dual quad core system with at least dual sata raided drives

My question is what kind of amps would a system like this pull? and how much do data centers typically charge for that additional power if it needed over the .5

Colo In EU/US/CA/UK

Mar 11, 2008

if anyone knew hosts (other then FDC in USA) that offers 1U-4U/midtower colocation with 100Mbit or greater uplink, with atleast 2TB of transfer. With IRC allowed.

My budget is ~$100, I'm fairly sure it can be done as I saw FDC had one for $79, and it would be fine though I was hoping if anyone knew any others.

Also, Giga-International has what I need, are they reliable?

Colo

Jul 20, 2008

colo of a 1u server that would need 500gig per month of b/w and I perferably would like to find a DC in NY/northern NJ or southern CT although in my search I seem to be getting price quotes of $100+ per month which I think is insane when I see dedicateds with more b/w for the same amount or even less.

I know most will say just get a dedicated server somewhere but my requirments are that I need a server with a lot of ram and at least a dual cpu and dedicate's with a dual cpu and 2gigs or more of ram seem to be much more thenmy budget.

So any suggestions for a $60 or less per month colo space with 500gig of b/w or a dedicated server provider offering a server in that price range with dual cpu and 2gig ddr ram and 80gig hdd?

By the way I looked at ezzi.net which has a $49 deal on a dedicated server but no option to have one with a dual cpu:

Colo...

Jan 3, 2007

I have had experience with reselling hosting using HostGator seller. My job was basically to run my site and get customers, set up price plans etc on WHM. I sold that company a while back. I am ready to have another shot at hosting, but this time I want to use my own servers...

I have found a great site, which has customisations etc. on servers (http://www.cybertronpc.com), but they don't ship to UK. (If I'm using colo is US, could I get it shipped straight to them?)

My main question is, is colo needed? If I am going to setup this company the Data-Center is not going to be local, either London or in US. So there is no chance of me going down unless it is to pick up my server . So I think I'm going to need a maintaned service I think. The server will be used for clients data (shared hosting). So what services will I need in terms of security and stability? What am I looking for in a colo service? What about back-ups of data on the server? Is that my responsibility or can it be bought as a service? Ok... now I'm guessing that I'm going to need colo...

What are common problems etc. with servers? Am I going to need virtual IP connection for maintainance... Is it best I pay for this or a service operator? Any recommendations on where to have the colo (i'm based in UK) and why? What can I do when it is time for me to request my server back from UK?

When changing colo services is there any way of avoiding down-time?

Value Colo

Jul 16, 2007

I have noticed that many web hosts offer intel celeron machines @ $55 per month...they do not own the datacenters but colocate the servers,

We are also thinking of buying 2-3 such machines @ $450 each and then coloing them in the USA

I think about 800gigs-1tb would be the bandwidth requirements per server..

we aren't interested in RACKS...we just want to colo 2-3 machines to see how fast they sell, and then maybe we might order about 10-15 servers..

who do you think can offer us a decent deal for less than $40-50 per month...all

Why Go Colo

Mar 13, 2007

What is the best indication for a web hosting company to move from dedicated server to colocation?

I have several low end dedis and im thinking of buying an enterprise class server with lots of diskspace (raid 5, dual power, ecc, etc.), have it colocated and move all the accounts to that server. I would be saving in the long run but kinda turned-off due to all eggs in one (enterprise-class) basket dilema. I woud be saving on server management cost too because I'm signing up one machine only instead of several.

Is going colocation a natural progression of the web hosting business cycle? We start off with a Reseller Account in the beginning - then grow and lease a Dedicated Server. And then grow and lease another and another..... Is colocation the next big step?

Colo

Jul 25, 2007

I'm considering going with CalPop for one of my colo sites. I've read the user reviews and apart from those who were chaffed because of scratched servers and reboots they seem decent enough. My take on sticking anything in a datacenter is to stick it in yourself and rent the entire rack. That should take care of 90% of the negative reviews I have read, so my question is does any one have any real review of their services? Bandwidth performance, etc?

Secondly, I need a second colo for a redundant server. I'd like to find something closer on the East coast that offers the same pricing structure and services.

Firewall For Colo

May 1, 2007

Anyone know what firewall do I need for my colo? I want to protect external IP. Here is my setup

3 servers, all have two nic cards, one of the cards will be the external IP and the other one will be LAN IP. So my question is what hardware firewall do I need to protect the External IP?

I was thinking of a cisco pix 515e. Which only route external IP to the LAN IP. I need something where I don't have to route, It just protect the external IP.

Colo Vs Dedicated

May 2, 2008

I've been a colo since the beginning of time. My servers are getting old so I've started pricing options, and it looks like dedicated is the way to go today. But I'm not sure...

I suppose it depends on the host. My host says "if you're colo, we provide admin at an hourly rate. If your machine needs a reboot, call us and we reboot it. If you're dedicated we don't touch your server beyond repairing it. If it needs a reboot, you login to our site and click a link and it is rebooted."

That doesn't seem like much of a difference. I'd need an off-site admin, but both charge by the hour, so no big deal. A live person reboot seems no better than a web-based software reboot. In fact I'll wager that the "live person" just logs in and clicks the link for me.

Colo is about twice as expensive as dedicated. That seems like the only big difference.

It also seems to me that with today's cPanel-style admin it's trivial to migrate to a new host, so competition to keep clients is intense. I'm guessing that keeps prices down. Reading between the lines of what my host says, I can tell he doesn't really want me to go dedicated. He kinda said they don't make much money on dedicated machines.

Which Is Better For Colo/NOC/DC US Or Canada?

May 29, 2008

I have a web hosting business that has been growing constantly for a couple of years, now I think it's time to move on and instead of leasing servers start with colocation and operating my own hardware, I'm in Mexico and there are no good deals here as there are in other countries, so I have several questions about your appreciation of where things are better for business, US or Canada:

Where is colo cheaper?
Where is hardware cheaper?
Where is personnel less costly?
Where is personnel better qualified?
Where is office space cheaper?
Where is electrical energy cheaper?
Where are more investment opportunities?
Where are taxes lower?
Where is living less costly?

I've been researching these on my own but still have several doubts, may be you find some of this question obvious however I'd still like to know your appreciation.

Managed Colo

Jan 31, 2008

Are there any established providers that offer this? I want an established company who isn't going to run off with my server, and they need to provide high quality bandwidth(Level3, AT&T, Sprint, etc) with 100% Power SLA, etc. in a secure facility.

IE: If I buy my own servers can I ship them out to a datacenter to have them fully managed, basically being a dedicated server? Except i'll own the hardware, and they provide the bandwidth, management, etc.

Colo Startup

May 15, 2008

how to organize a colo startup if I manage to get a cage with 2-3 cabinets in a Peer1 datacentre.

From my knowledge, Peer1 handles firewalling, BGP, etc on their end so I probably won't need it.

But how can I organize it, what do you guys do when you get a new client?

Have cables readily dangling in the racks or something so you can connect it to the clients right away?

What kind of reboot privs do you give out?

Monitoring traffic, etc?
