Millennium Data Systems' Dedicated Servers
to ask about this offer (millenniumdata dot com/BUSINESS/Business-Default.asp?include=Business-Dedicated-Servers.asp) I found. They have live chat support so i talked with someone and what he did say me is: servers come with Fedora and whole LAMP environment installed, you can SSH to the server, and install VNC, you have full ADMIN rights to install anything you wish, servers are not managed (he said that they are Managed in the sense that they are monitoring PING POWER and PIPE), they can Re-image to default for free, no setup fee, month to month payment. I didn't use any dedicated server, I only used shared hosting. What I planed is to move my OpenX (former names OpenAds and phpAdsNew) installation to this server for now to see who is that working. I think that server is capable to run it, since it is currently run on shared hosting.

Building A Data Center
I am planing on building a small data center either in Waterloo, Ontario or in the surrounding area of Toronto, Ontario. My questions: 1.) Is Waterloo a good area to build a data center? I know its a technology area but I havent seen much data centers from the area. And are there any bandwidth providers in the area? 2.) Anyone know a good place in the surrounding area of Toronto ontario where fiber lines will be easy to bring in? Mostly looking for something on the edge of the city, planing of purchasing my own land and a place where it will be easy to expand. Right now looking Bolton area or Brampton 3.) What bandwidth providers can be found in these areas? Need someone who can offer bandwidth for cheap like the do in the states so I can offer my customers cheap bandwidth also. 4.) If I open a data center in Waterloo ontario do you guys think there will be a good demand for colocation there?

Setting Up A UK Data Center
During my minutes of boredom the other day, I spoke to a person from Open Pipe solutions LTD regarding a Data Center network. I wasn't interested I just wanted to know really. I was quoted the following: 20 Static IPs (Upgradeable) 15TB Premium Bandwidth Up to 100mbps Speeds Custom network name £32,000 setup fee ($64,000) £2,000 per month ($4,000) Then you have buildings, servers, rack products & other necessities on top. Very expensive!

Data Center/provider In US
We're expanding our project and looking to organize one more data center in US. We would like to get 3Racks with 40A of power each, 500Mbps 95% traffic. The best would be Carrier Neutral facility with good traffic offerings selection. We could benefit of 2 types of traffic - inexpensive traffic for serving large files and low latency traffic for web/ajax applications.

SOFT LAYERS Data Center
SOFT LAYERS data center did not fulfill its legal obligations with regards to the protection against hackers. I complained to SOFT LAYERS against the server hosting the Hackers sites two times and although they shut them down they keep coming back. They don't reply to my messages. These hackers are causing a lot of damage, what can I do to shut them down permanently. Please advice, SOFT LAYERS only talk to these guys to ask them to remove the hacking contents but they never do and SL don't bother to check on the.

Setting Up Our Own Data Center [merged]
we have come to a point where we would like to operate our own data center and move on from doing collocation. Could anyone that have any experience in setting up their own data center help me out in terms of what kind of equipment needed? From my qucik research, I would be needing the following: 1. Air Conditioning System - I am thinking of using Liebert System 3 2. UPS System, still not sure what type that suits our needs 3. Diesel Generators, still not sue what type that suits our needs The server room would be roughly 1,200 square feet. How many Liebert System 3 would I need, how many tons, chilled water or compressors? We have roughly 200 servers at the moment, but would like to accomodate the room to up to 1,000 servers. What kind of UPS system would you recommend us using? What kind of Diesel Generators would you recommend us using? How much is the total cost - roughly to fund this setup? Are there other main points that I missed besides, AC, UPS, and Diesel Generatros? I mean aside security, network equipments itself, etc. The main basic things.

Greenest Cities For A Data Center
I found this interesting article: [url] It shows Chicago as the greenest city for a data center, which absolutely surprised me even considering I'm in Chicago. Overall, I thought the article was interesting and gave a different view on things. I figured at least someone else here would be interested in the article.

How Important Is The Data Center To Choosing A Host?
From testing, I've come to the conclusion that I get extremely fast page downloads from a host in the Equinix Center in VA. I'm in Western NY. I don't know if this data center is better than most or if I just happen to be in an ideal location for their service. I have a business that gets orders from the whole U.S., but a majority are in the East, especially the NE. Visitors come from everywhere in the U.S., but I'd like to keep the buying customers happiest. Page download speeds are very important to me and I'd like to keep them as fast as possible for my customers. How important is the data center used by a host going to be to my decision? Also, is there a way to find webhosts from a particular data center? Manually going to webhost sites to find out if they have servers in the Equinix center has been painfully slow.

Private Network IP Block In The Data Center
Is their any threat or possible problems in using a common private subnet in the data center which will be used for internal communications (Backup Network, etc.) connected to a private internal network. Example if we use a block such as 10.10.10.x/24 or 192.168.0.x/24 which has a high possibility of being used on many clients LAN's or should we use something totally obscure such as 10.12.15.x/24 or is this not even an issue and simply using anything which is labeled for private use in the RFC's fine?

What Kind Of Prices Are You Looking At For Private Data Center Space
I'm wondering what kind of prices you would be looking at for some private data center space, maybe in the InfoMart or one of Internaps data centers - somewhere in Texas though, preferably Dallas. Is there any kind of rough monthly price I should expect? Maybe a standard per sq ft charge? Also, if you rent a private "suite" does that include office space, or would that still be needed separately? How much would it be to get a small (100 to 500 sq ft) office in the infomart? Cabinet Suite (Internap only it seems), and private suites would be considered. Possibly a cage or private rack, but not preferred.

Mega Web Server With Matching Data Center
Does anyone know the secret behind the server configuration of the big boys in hosting who offer as much as 1.5TB webspace and $15TB bandwidth or even unlimited for less than $10/month? I want to offer such a high webspace at less than $10/month too. I want to know the exact server configuration in terms of hard drives/accessories that can make this possible and very reliable data centers where I can co-locate the servers with unmetered bandwidth too. The estimated cost of the hard drives/accessories and any other associated costs should be stated clearly.Linux/Unix platforms preferred.The DC should be ready to do the configuration and the cost would not leave a serious dent on my financial resources.

Unusual Spam Problem Being Reported By Data Center
I have an unusual spam problem on my server being reported by my data center (theplanet). They have opened up an abuse ticket on the issue as they say it appears my server is sending out child porn spam. Something I am obviously keen to stop. I've had the mail logs checked, and there's not been any sign of the cpu going above normal acceptable levels, nor can I see any processes running that appear to be sending out spam. The only information I have to go on, is the mail headers provided by the data centre themselves, which I will copy and paste below. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be causing this? or what I can do to stop it? Whenever anything like this has happened before, there's usually something like dm.cgi being run on the server which can be traced and stopped, but with this there's nothing. As you'll see from the report below, it even states that it has been received from a different server, but it just says xyvcx or something similar...

How Do Data Center Operators Make Their Purchasing Decisions
I'm interested in understanding more about how people who own data centers or rent out space at a data center (not just a rack) make their purchasing decisions for the environmental systems, power distribution, back-up generators, cabling, etc. Does anyone know where I can a) Talk to someone about this b) Find out more information online c) An industry association for data center managers

Which Data Center Has Lowest Rack/power Costs
which data center has lowest rack/power costs, yet has decent reputation, security, and remote hands? we have expanded to the point where we have backup equipment scattered everywhere and want to consolidate that equipment into a single rack or two. Network quality is not an issue as it is backup, will only be used if we lose something elsewhere.

SNMP Monitoring Software For Switch Ports In Your Data Center
We currently have a OK solution to monitor and graph our client bandwidth at the switch port. It's a great product, but we have been expanding quickly and we are looking for a solution that is a bit more scalable and user friendly. Any recommendations? Basically we want software to do the following:Monitor/log bandwidth in/out Graph data in some way shape or form Provide a web interface for users to login and view bandwidth usage Scalable and cost effective Easy to use Windows or Linux If you don't feel comfortable divulging what you use, just PM me. Also, we are already aware of MRTG.

Portable IP Space?
The last time I applied for a portable block from ARIN was about 7 years ago, and it was pretty easy to get when you could justify a /22. I'm just about to begin this process with my current company. Right now we're using a a /24 and 2x /23's from 3 different providers, and are hoping to get a portable block from ARIN. Basically needing a /21, do we stand a chance of getting a portable block, or are we still stuck getting our prefix from one of our providers?

Backorder Systems
i know maybe it is wrong for this topic to be here, but i am going to focus on my question in technically . my question is " how backorder systems work? " . i dont want description of them, i know they check the domain over and over and register it as soon as be available. what i mean is what system they do to check the availability of domain better ? public whois database's are caching and not return the realtime result. so what they do ? do they contact directly to internic whois servers ? or they use "whois" linux command? anybody know what they do to get realtime domain check?

Want To Change Email Systems
I have had enough of email problems that constantly happen on a server. For about three weeks now I have been dealing with email issues that I am going out of my mind. Does anyone have a suggestion as to a email scheme that will work. Here is what I would like to do. Disable Exim COMPLETELY. Either setup a server for email only or find a email solution. Email will be pointed ONLY by way of DNS.Once I get email fixed on this box it works for a day and next thing you know it's all messed up again. Somehow etc/localdomains and etc/remotedomains either vanish or get over written plus a bunch of other things including permissions.All I know is this is getting ridiculous.I don't want any sort of email system on this box. I want all my email to go though DNS only to another server. We already have on service that we use for Exchange, so all the MX Records point to that server, but email still has to interact with this server first, which I don't want it to.

Cache Systems For Apache In Windows
I have a fair ammount of load on the server, and I want to cache as much as possible to reduce disk IO. The harddrive is a major bottleneck for performance. The server serve a lot of files larger than 10MB, so I want to cache as much of the files below 10mb as possible. First off I want to cache around 200k thumbnail files, where around 1000 new gets added every day. Secondly it would be preferred to cache dynamic files in a way that the file timestamp is checked at a regular interval, and then read again if timestamp has changed. Is there any free solutions on windows with apache for this?
