Dell 6224 Feedback

Sep 7, 2007

As I mentioned in a previous thread, I'm doing research on Foundry alternatives and one of the leading contenders to replace our FESX 424s is the Dell Power Connect 6224.

I've read a couple case studies and gone through the tech specs, etc., but I'd like to hear some real-world feedback from anyone that has deployed the 6224(or 6248) on their network, especially in a data center environment. How well has the switch performed when taxed, how well does it operate in a multi-vendor environment, and so on?

Dell Powerconnect 6224 Reboot´s When Use ISCSI

May 15, 2009

I´m running a Dell Powerconnect 6224 with firmware 2.2.0.3 for a customer.

After upgrade to firmware 2.2.0.3 from the version 2.0.0.12, and starting to use ISCSI with link aggregation groups, the switch began to reboot every 2-3 days.
Now, i have disabled LAG and this issue also happen.

It could be a firmware problem? Really, with firmware 2.0.0.12 it was solid as rock but without a advanced usage such as vlan, link aggregation, IP routing...

I´m not sure if my customer would like pay more and choose a more stable switch such as Cisco Catalyst...

Dell Drives In A RAID Array With Non-Dell Drives

Sep 14, 2009

I have a couple of Dell 1950s and in one of them, I have 2x Seagate 15K.5s that I purchased through Dell and I also have a spare sitting in my rack in case one goes bad, also from Dell.

I was going to be repurposing one of my other 1950s and was going to get two more 15K.5s for it, but wasn't planning on getting them through Dell (rip off?). This way, could still keep the same spare drive around in case a drive went bad in that system as well.

When I was talking to my Dell rep recently when purchasing another system, their hardware tech said you can't use non-Dell drives with Dell drives in the same RAID array because of the different firmware between them.

Anyone know if it is true? Anyone have any experience with using drives from Dell in conjunction with the same model drives from a third party retailer?

Midphase VPS Feedback?

Sep 23, 2007

Am considering Midphase's VPS as an upgrade from shared and after searching the net am fairly comfortable with them at this point. However, knowing that most happy/content customers usually don't think about writing a review and the dissatisfied ones sometimes do...I'm posting this question not as an opportunity to bash but to be informative.

Keeping that in mind, my specs are as follows:

1) Run 3 Wordpress blogs (one of which is picking up steam fairly fast)
2) Have 2 static sites that may see increased traffic. (At this point they do not but one is an offshoot of the blog with the most traffic so this may change)
3) Have a SMF forum setup for family that is fairly active.
4) I like to try out various scripts for review.

I'm looking for any feedback from current Midphase VPS customers or past ones. Like I said, this is not an invitation to bash them. That can be done somewhere else. I'm looking for those with experience with their company's VPS hosting.

I am presently a shared hosting customer with them on their Linux plan and would prefer to keep with Linux over windoze.

HawkHost Feedback

Interested in getting the Basic plan that HawkHost offer.

Has anybody had any experience with them, and if they are a reputable host?

Their domains seem a little expensive though, might be better off registering one with name . com or somebody.

Am after a host for a personal low-traffic website and small file hosting, possibly to hotlink to forums.

Ram Feedback From Connaiseurs...

Oct 12, 2009

I just got one that has 4GB of ram. Pretty much, off the bat, it is using 3GB of the RAM.

Does linux pre-allocate memory to be able to allocate it faster later?

Server details:

- Running Apache/mysql

- New server with no traffic yet

- R1Soft with mysql plug-in

- WHM/CPanel

- Standard FTP/Mail/DNS that comes with CPanel

Here is the info from WHM:
Current Memory Usage

Code:

Gigenet: First Feedback = MORE THAN BAD

Oct 18, 2008

Our website, hosted in Canada, came under DDOS attack 4 days ago and our IP immediately got null routed. I understand this action.

As Gigenet is reputed for being good there, I contacted them, among other suppliers of remote protection.

A first chat with Derek at Gigenet.com was pretty good, despite I got disconnected a few times due to my internet connection problems. Derek quickly supplied a test IP, and I sent the website there. Unfortunately (!) the attack had stopped and he could not see anything. Then I got disconnected and could not connect again before the morning
In the morning I sent an email to Derek as he was not online, asking him some details about the setup, especially technical modifications we would have to make to our scripts.

I had to wait TWO days to get a reply, more than short. I emailed him again.

I connected again yesterday on Gigenet, could catch Derek 2 minutes, he said "I reply to your email quickly". I told him we are waiting his reply to subscribe to their proxyshield protection.

After 2 hours wait, I went to the gigenet chat again and John Lee helped me a lot, replying to my questions, but the last one "must be replied by Derek", he said. Concerning the price and concrete setup. He told me that Derek will reply immediately after his conference.

I went to bed as I am in another TZ, thinking that I will get his email during the night.
Morning; NO email. And now the chat is closed until Monday. So I sent an email to "sales", asking in short if gigenet is a serious company or what. FOUR DAYS offline due to attacks!

Mister Ameen Pishdadi kindly replied me right now "We are not interested in working on this project with you as you are not being attacked on the demo account we gave you.

When you have a real attack please contact us."

What is this crap? As soon as we are attacked we are null routed and I promised my hosting company we won't connect the site again without protection!

And gigenet does not sell their program (at $1300 by month, first level!) as a PREVENTIVE action?

I am more than disappointed by this so called "good company". If somebody could tell me an email of a HIGH executive, thank you. Writing to "sales@gigenet.com" will probably be without result.

Dedicated Servers Feedback

Oct 2, 2009

In these past many years I have used 7 major data centers which provide collocation and dedicated servers.

Out of these 7 provides, what would make a client impressed?

One is off course the level of reliability, the network must be up without anyone bothering it.

Second is the level of security, when someone is bothering it, their team must be extremely responsive to provide help to restore service back to normal, it doesn't matter if there is an additional fee for it, availability is crucial.

Third would be the response time, which is critical, because this gets personal. When a client needs an "urgent" help, if the provider successfully responded the urgency in a timely manner, it will build an great sense of trust.

It's like you as the provider is storing up "trust funds" into your clients. If you keep doing this, when something bad happens, you will have enough trust funds deposited into your client's faith, so they will eventually understand the situation.

From these many years of using many major provider, I can only experience an amazing level of service from one single provider, which are always dependable and are able to respond to my inquiries within minutes, not hours.

A client expect a reply in minutes when they are leasing a dedicated server or even collocating their servers with a provider.

So far, only one seems to be able to provide such an excellent service.

This is not a rating about a particular provider, but I would like to give an input to dedicated server providers on what's important when it comes to building a good client relationship.

Willing to do an extra mile help would definitely a big plus which I also experience with the same provider.

Lastly, I would like to leave my total satisfaction review for the one provider which surpasses my expectation being their client. The one and only provider which I personally experienced an outstanding level of service is ThePlanet.

With their pricing, the level of service I received as a client is outstanding.

Feedback About Cirtex Hosting

Jun 27, 2008

I'm trying to leave my old host, and consolidate all my websites into one host. I have about 5 websites, each running php/mysql with community features such as message boards and flash video.

In total on all the websites I have, i would say that the average is about 30 users online at the same during peak hours.

I need a host with the following at minimum:

# Web Server API - Apache
# Supported Operating System - Linux
# PHP Version - Minimum - 4.3.3
# MySQL Version - Minimum - 4.1
# GD complied with your PHP Build - Yes
# SendMail - Yes
# PHP safe mode - OFF
# PHP memory_limit - 32M
# Unlimited addon domains
# FFmpeg
# FFmpeg-PHP
# Mplayer + Mencoder
# flv2tool
# Libogg + Libvorbis
# LAME MP3 Encoder
# PHP file_uploads - 1
# PHP post_max_size - 100M
# PHP max_input_time - -1
# PHP upload_max_filesize - 100M

I plan to eventually move into a dedicated server, but can't afford the costs at the moment. However, I need a host where i don't have to worry about:

# my databases corrupting
# slow connections
# account suspensions for mundane things
# downtime

HP And DELL

Oct 2, 2007

why don't you buy servers from big guys like HP and DELL? Are they too expensive, or servers are not as good as suposed to be, or something else?

Our company is buying all our computers and printers from HP, we are receiving great customer service, waranty, if something gets wrong - we had computer replaced-no problem!

Maybe some small local guys are selling cheaper and better equipment, but I have peace of mind.

Supermicro // Dell // HP

Jul 22, 2009

I know this topic has been brought up before and I wanted to revisit this again. We are a growing hosting company looking to expand our Dedicated server offerings. So far, we have been renting servers and reselling but now we have begun colocating our equipment and are looking for hardware vendors.

Would you recommend us to...

...build our own servers using the Supermicro platform?
...purchase pre-built servers from Dell?
...purchase pre-build servers from HP?

Pricing is of major concern along with speed to provision new orders. Although we don't have a dedicated resource for putting together servers, this is something we can look into should the volume of orders increase. Scalability and Flexibility is a MUST

Thanks for chiming in...
