Equinix Ashburn : Famous Clients
Nov 29, 2007
We just signed today to move our colo to Equinix Ashburn. I'll send out an email to our customers next week, to explain the upcoming downtime for the move. We do SaaS for our own specialized software product, and all our customers are in universities.. usually professors or administrative assistants.
These people are not technical, so saying something like "really good peering" means nothing to them. However, saying "the facility is so good that Google has servers there" is something they would understand. So, who are the tenants there that an average person would know? I realize there are multiple buildings all next to each other, but I don't think it will be necessary to denote by building. Last time I toured the facility (a while ago), I saw Google and Amazon there.

I've got a cabinet @ Equinix Ashburn & need to get another one. My understanding is they're full. Does anyone know if Equinix has a new facility there yet?

VPS provider to have enough support resources to provide 24/7 contact and repairs when necessary and good connectivity to UK. So, a fully managed solution.
The Ashburn datacentres seem to have good connectivity to UK.
Any substantial VPS providers based in this area?

Is anyone aware of the current availability of colocation space at Equinix in Ashburn, VA? We are currently trying to obtain some space with them but getting my dedicated sales contact to respond is like pulling teeth! Are they so full (and thus full of themselves) that we will have to operate on THEIR terms (if at all)? At this point we are soliciting quotes from other datacenters of known lesser quality just so we can get this deployment live...

Besides contacting them directly and getting an overinflated price on 1GB of BW and 1u space, is there anyone i can contact who can set me up with better pricing in the Ashburn location? I'm in Baltimore. Washington and Ashburn is about 30 or 40min from away. Something to take into consideration.

Does anyone have a good contact or contractor that they can recommend in the vicinity of Equinix Ashburn? Preferably someone who's done work in the facility before. We're in DC4 - which is building E I believe.
While Equinix has great staff, sometimes I just need simple things like servers unpacked and racked - things that I'd prefer not to pay $200/hr. for.

Does any web host give free dedicated server/cluster hosting to non-profit or famous websites? I'm just wondering coz if I made a site and it got 1 million visits per day, who do you think would give me free dedicated cluster server hosting? Or Would only a rich company like google or microsoft be able to do that?

Can someone recommend decently priced colocation provider in Ashburn? We are looking for level3 bandwidth as they are claimed to have good uptime. 5 boxes will be hosted there. BW consumption will be very low but we need 5 boxes as our application needs them and 1 for load balancing.
I spoke with one provider and they speak of only half rack or full rack. What is the decent per u cost? I have one quoting us 130$ per month.

I am looking for small colocation space in Equinix NY2.
(There is another topic here [url]where the original poster was looking for dedi/colo in Equinix NY4; I joined that topic with the same request. But after doing my homework, I've adjusted the requirements: firstly, I need colo only, not a dedicated server; and secondly, NY2 is almost as good for my purposes as NY4. And apparently there are more providers offering colo there.)
If you know someone who has (or might have) colo space in Equinix NY2, please, could you recommend them here?

Equinix Secaucus NY2 (275 Hartz) seems to have cooling prolem for the last 1 hour. The whole DC becomes hot. I went out one hour ago, came back and it's so hot now. I don't have temp now, ut I think it's around 85F (up from around 65F typical).
If you are in the DC, have fun working ... I wonder how much longer I can work here Hope they fix this soon, or else......

4-5 continuous racks on the 5th or 6th floor of the Equinix Chicago facility.
I've already met with Server Central. Can anyone suggest anybody else who is in that facility? I know it might be a long shot to get that many together, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

colocating servers in the N VA market. I've read numerous recommendations on this forum for the Ashburn Equinix facility. Since it's filling up quickly I've also been looking at the SwitchandData facility in Reston. It appears to have more available space and lower prices. Does anyone have any experience with S&D and what tradeoffs should I be concerned about in looking at an S&D facility instead of an Equinix (in general or specifically those two centers)?

I visited the colo space (1 cabinet) we obtained through an Equinix reseller. There was some confusion as initially we were going into DC2, but they put us into DC3 as that's where they had the space (they have a lot of cages in both DCs).
In the past, I had visited DC2 and it's clear the facility was purpose-built for Equinix. You can tell just by looking at it from the outside, but also inside.
Driving up to DC3 (on Chillum Place), I was first surprised to notice glass windows on the outside of the building (they have the reinforced walls inside of that I was told).
Apparently, the building was some other company's datacenter or offices, which Equinix then refitted their standard-build datacenter inside the building. They also have different man-traps (like a rotating door) compared to DC2, raised flooring (which is not used I was told), and lower ceilings.
I drove around the DC3 building, and the other half of it appears to be some other company's datacenter (based on the generators on the roof). Any idea who that is?
Is DC3 the same quality as DC2? It didn't quite "feel" like the quailty of DC2, but that's just an impression and not based on any empirical evidence. It's also a bit further out there, while DC2 and its new "siblings" (DC4/5) are all adjacent to each other (on Filigree Court).
With the reseller we are using, most of their bandwidth in DC3 cross-connects to their network equipment in DC2, and that's where they peer. That's another thing that makes me feel like DC3 is quite secondary.
Are my feelings unfounded, or should I push our reseller to find a cabinet for us in DC2?

What are you paying for 1U of space in Equinix (Ashburn, Virginia)?
We have about 10 servers already hosted there and our co-locator wants to charge us $100 per 1U (for just space, not bandwidth).
Is this a fair price?

Does anyone have experience with voxel.net as a bandwidth provider? I am considering arranging for IP Transit from them in one of the datacenters they operate in.
I've seen some old concerns raised on these forums about their handling of a server move some time ago (affecting their hosting customers). It could have been misrepresented and could be a thing of the past. Just wondering how professional/reliable/reliable they've been lately.
Also, any other suggestions for quality reliable bandwidth at Equinix Secaucus?

I will soon be meeting a few people who plan on selling their clients to me that are currently hosting with them.
I have never bought/sold clients before and would like some guidance from the community here on WHT.
Correct me if im wrong.
I should consider purchasing those clients who's contracts are going to expire soon, preferably within the next 6 months atleast?
Should i or should i not purchase clients who they have recently taken a renewal fee from that will last for atleast another 6 months?
How will calculate on what prices they should be selling their clients to me for? Are they going to add up a years worth of hosting before they set a final sale price?
At the end of the day i dont want to take on clients who have already paid for their hosting and wont be expiring anytime soon. I think, if i take them on board now they will be using up my hosting resources at my expense which i will have to wait until their next renewal is due.
The guys i will be buying the clients from have their current hosting plans as follows:
Monthly prices range from £1.90 £5.00 £9.50 £15.50,
Yearly prices range from £19.00 £50.00 £95.00 £155.00
Depending on what packages their clients are on now, how much do you think on average 5 clients would be worth roughly?
Before i purchase what else do i need to look into?
What other questions do i need to ask other than the likelihood of how long they expect their clients to stay with them/(me).

I did an FTP of a high res photo to a client. They got it fine.
Today I tried to FTP several of my various files to another client. However, it would not go through. Both times I uploaded them to my web hosting service. But when I tried to send several files at one time it did not work. I even tried zipping them.
