Feasibility Of Leasing A 42u Full Rack To Resell As 1u
May 19, 2008
While browsing the offer sections and other providers, I noticed that there is a significant price difference per "1u" if it bought as a full rack vs. buying per unit.
For example, at Colopronto a 44u full-rack costs $550, which is about $12.50 per 1u on average.
While browsing the forums and colo providers, it seems like 1u goes for $50+.
Is it a good business idea to lease a full-rack to resell as 1u to customers? Is it that simple, or more involved?

With all the high power servers/blade servers, the 40A (@ 110V) power limit is way too small. I am wondering if there is any colo space targeted for high density application, e.g. with 10 KW/cab limit for 60A @ 208V power drops. Does anybody know of such high density colocation space? East coast is preferred.

There is a data center in an office building I manage. I need to lease rack space and the data center manager wants the job. They have made the following proposal:
1 to 4 racks priced at $350 each
5 to 9 racks priced at $300 each
10 to 19 racks priced at $250 each
20 and above priced at $200 each
the management fee is included in above pricing
I do not know the industry standard for leasing commissions but more or less 50% seems high. What do you think? Whatis a fair deal for all?

Just found this site last night and I think it is agreat place to share information on dedicated server hosting.
Currently I have a set of dedicated servers with a hosting company, but they are Celeron D 2Ghz and I was thinking of building my own dedicated servers using Quad core Xeons. The only problem is my current host charges more for using your own server, than leasing theirs.
By charging more I mean in bandwidth the collocation fee is about the same but they only include 500 GB with the collocated server and 1.5 TB with the leased Celeron.
Do you know of a place that has really good connectivity, uptime and good pricing on collocating your own dedicated servers?

A couple of questions for the pro's in the business:
1) What is usually the best deal, per month cost wise, leasing or financing the equipment?
2) What is the best way to get a Sales rep from HP and Dell to give you quotes? Just call 1-888-dell?

The Cisco 7301 has 3 integrated Gig-E ports and one empty slot which we'll use with an OC3 SMI PA for a handoff to SAVVIS. (when will they ever go to Ethernet handoff?)
Is anyone here leasing a Cisco 7301 router, who can comment on the approximate monthly lease cost? I know the approximate retail cost, but can't really guess on the residual after 3, 4, or 5 year lease, so it's hard to estimate the approximate payment to expect. I don't want to get a salesperson involved yet because once they have your phone #, they never stop calling, and I'm not 100% certain we're going with the 7301 (versus a Juniper M5 or M7i).

Are there such companies that LEASE you server hardware at a monthly rate?
This is of course, other than the datacenter where you colo itself which has a hefty price tag.

I had shortlisted a few, although there may be more choices..
SoftLayer have lesser discount, but they have an excellent DC, hardware & more~
Gigenet have up to 30% discount and 15% at least, which is a plus, but I'm not sure about other stuffs, although they are also pretty reputable around..
LimeStoneNetworks have very little discount, and their servers are cheap, but their specs are pretty much *fixed*, and they do not seem to offer as much as the above..
HandyNetworks have cheap servers too, but they are not as competitive with the above 3, in the sense that they are not much interested to join the competition, remaining on their own track completely..
HiVelocity - No information, although their requirement is pretty simple..
Take2Hosting, although they have really cheap servers, their datacenter isn't as advanced as the others, and... Cogent... IMO more suitable for personal use, small sites etc.
IMO I will prefer SoftLayer, but their servers are quite expensive, so even if I get 4 dummy servers, which cost $119(their cheapest server) and multiple by 4 is $476, and get a server used to sell hosting, it will not be cheap.. However, on the other end, Gigenet has cheaper servers(especially their specials, really better than SL), although their entry server is $154, which I suppose everything will balance out, I just can't think of anything they can be better than SL, in terms of network, support, server administration(I heard and tried SoftLayer's portal to manage the server, it was excellent!) etc.
I will actually love to resell Gigenet servers, since it is a lot cheaper(in terms of discount), and their prices are roughly the same(except SL RAM is more expensive)..

A friend of mine is trying to find a place that will let him resell other reseller accounts. The accounts would need WHM access. I can't find anything for him, and he won't host with me because I don't offer that.

to provide MS-Exchange hosted accounts. (The ones with the free copy of MS-Exchange.)
We feel we should focus on our core business and are looking for a good company to resell from. We will have value-added services. We need a rock-solid company who provides an excellent SLA.
Who's in the game and who can provide a good wholesale price?

I woke up to a complaint by the ISP of spamming for one of our servers. More than 10 000 spams in a shared hosting environment. Found Steven online, thank God! PM him and he went to work looking for the culprit. He spend time monitoring and putting in scripts to catch the culprit and in no time found the faulty script causing the spams.
Really saved me a big headache on how to explain to the ISP. Thanks to the consistent excellent work done by Steven of Rack911.
Those unpatched forums of clients can really be a hassle and a big source of problems.

Our server count with The Planet only seems to be increasing as of late and I'm now starting to drive myself nuts with bandwidth counts, costs, etc.
My main concern at the moment is our total bandwidth. While we might have a server with a 2500GB limit only use 50% we might have a 1500GB limit use 200%. I understand that any overages are our own fault, etc but there must be a way for us to combine all bandwidth across all servers!
Is it possible for The Planet or any of the other big boys to provide private racks with pooled bandwidth without going colo?

I honestly dont understand why does DELL, HP and others price their 1U TFT monitors at 3 times the cost of the cheapest laptop?
I mean, dont get me wrong, I am all for spending good money to get quality products but I feel very awkward spending 3 times as much for a screen and keyboard when I can get their laptops WITH OS, MEMORY AND HDD for 3 times as less and use it as the 1U TFT monitors.
I can get a powerful server from Dell and HP at that price for crying out loud.
But then again, I might be seriously overlooking something here because what justifies such high price?

We have about 50 Cpanel servers in our own AS with two upstream providers. On the cpanel servers we use the following IPs in the /etc/resolv.conf:
1. IP of the cpanel server
2. DNS IP of the 1st upstreamprovider
3. DNS IP of the 2nd upstreamprovider
I realized, that the upstreampoviders nameserver are not answering that fast and therefore I was thinking to make my own DNS Server, which I could use additionaly after the IP of the cpanel server.
Is this a good idea or is it not necessary? If it is a good idea, which dns deamon would be recommended? If we build this server, maybe would be also nice if we could offer DNS as a single service. Is there any solution where we could create user accounts where user could manage there own dns zones?

I´m having a problem right now. I need to buy a Dual Xeon system, to use 2 Quad Cores, however there are some things I need:
- I already have a SCSI controller (Dell Perc 4 (PCIe))
- I already have HD´s (3x SCSI U320)
- I want to use RAID5
- The chassis must be 1U
... my problem is that I never worked with SCSI U320, just SATA and SAS. I usually buy Tyan racks, more specifically, this one: Tyan Tank GT20 5381
It doesn´t have the option for SCSI U320, however they sell SCSI Backplanes that are compatible with this barebone. My question is:
- How do I connect a standalone card (like the one I have) to the backplane? Is there any SCSI connector on the backplane?
- Since space is a bit of a problem in 1U racks, are there any kind of cables that can do more tight turns inside the case?

What do you guys think about putting 40 Amps into one rack? Our colocation provider wants to whine about it and not allow it. When we're paying them $1000+ a month - I think this is just shoddy. They say it's for heat concerns - but really this just makes me mad. We have fifteen 1U servers in there, and can't get much more on our existing 20 amps.

Does anyone have any recommendations where I can get a few cheap (full length) rack shelves in the UK. They don't have to be adjustable but would prefer if they where full ones and not the half ones as I don't think they would take the weight correctly.
