VOIP CLEC Setup/Colo Info
Dec 23, 2007
I am looking to setup a voip CLEC business (basic voip services only). I already have a softswitch class 5 running on dedicated server in a Data center.
But unfortunately, that data center would not allow T1s connection to ILEC.
My questions are:
1. what is the best top 3 data centers that can offer dedicated voice servers and cross connect to ILEC in NJ-PA-NY area?
2. Any recommendations of certain services/experts that I can consult them about this kind of project and/or may assist in doing the paperwork associated with all filing requirements, ILEC negotiations, etc..?
3. Any resources for direct information that can help me with understanding this business, help in setting up this kind of service and run it etc..?

We have recently acquired a half rack in a Chicago DC. We have purchased 2 mid range Dell servers, PowerConnect 2724, and a Firebox X20e-W. We also have a block of IP's, for demo purposes lets say: 14.153.12.1 - 58. Now these server will be for two separate clients. Let saw each client gets 10 ip's consecutively from the range above. One server will be a Windows 2003 based server, and the other will run linux. Both will manage there own DNS. What I want to know is if this is possible with the above setup. Basicly I have one incoming drop connection, coming in via the firewall, then to the switch serving multiple machines. We want to be able to drop in more servers as time goes on.

I have a colo setup, IPs and all of it at a colocation provider.
I have 2 boxes.
I'd like to have hosting/mail/shell/and dns servers on both of these boxes.
I'm fairly new, but with avg experience in Linux.
Using Ubuntu Feisty as the servers. Might use H-sphere or Webmin to manage stuff.
Now, my only thing is I don't know how to go about this.
I currently setup both servers to use the colo provider's gateway for DNS, and ofcourse, OpenDNS.
But I'd like to make both my boxes be able to host external and internal DNS.
I'd like some pointers on what would you do if you had 2 boxes that you wanted to get online with everything in it?
I'd love to make both boxes as dns servers only, and use another for hosting and everything else, but that's not possible right away.
Pointers about how I'd get the DNS going and ultimately everything automated and everything will be very appreciated.

I just acquired a Dell PowerConnect 5324 and am trying to put together all my accumulated gears as close to an enterprise setup as possible. I'm relatively knowledgeable on the logic/software configuration, but I'm pretty new to network design and setting up switches/vlans. Your input on how to configure them in a data center environment would be greatly appreciated.
1 Dell PowerConnect 5324 with 24 port of gigabit NIC
2 Adaptec Snap Appliance 14000 with 2 gigabit NIC
5 1u IBM x335 with dual xeon, 2 36GB SCSI 10K drive, 2GB RAM, dual gigabit NIC, chain cables and KVM kit. (To be purchased. All the mentioned 5 servers would cost me around $3,000 total. Seems the best I could get, since can't spend more than 3 grand. Any other suggestion on picking up the servers?)
2 x335 will host apache httpd and apache tomcat clustered (Dell 5324 needs to act as a load balancer.)
2 x335 will host mysql clustered.
1 x335 will be the used to host the ordering, billing, help desk, and act as a management server for all other devices.
2 Snap Appliance 14000 (thinking to go with RAID 5) would be connected via iSCSI. They will serve as email repository, document repository, system logs, and as database repository.
Here's diagram in my mind
Internet
|
Load Balancer
|
/
----------------------------------- VLAN 1
| | |
httpd httpd monitoring
/tomcat /tomcat /management
| | |
----------------------------------- VLAN 2
| | | |
mysql mysql fileserver fileserver
Questions:
1. Your thoughts on the design of VLANs for the layered diagram?
2. Your thoughts setting up this Dell 5324 as a load balancer?
3. How to setup the VLANs if the data center's router only gives me one default gateway? Do I need my own router with at least two gateway interfaces?
4. As for email server, since it needs to be facing DNS server, I would think the front-end http/tomcat servers are the only place can host the the email server. Any other options?
5. Any other options on selecting the 1u servers?

I am in the process of gathering the peices to move from a dedicated box to my own hardware in a local colo and am undecided how best to choose the edge device.
The colo has a 30Mb pipe with about 10Mb of it being constantly used during biz hours. Another 10Mb is being allocated in the next couple of months. I want to be able to burst to the full 30Mb when needed.
I am getting 12 IP's allocated but will increase to 24 soon if all goes well (fingers crossed!).
I will have for starters just a single Proliant running dnp on 2008 with IIS, FTP, Mail, ns1 and a 2003 VM running my secondary ns.
What I am unsure of is the edge device and looking for others that have used either a 2800 series router or a ASA5500 series firewall in a similiar fashion. I know what the raw throughput of each device is, but raw benchmarks are not realworld numbers by any means.
I am looking at the 2801 with IOS Firewall turned on and hopefully even some inspects for FTP and HTTP traffic. The other option and one that I am less familiar with is to use the ASA5505 instead which will do my basic routing but supposedly provide more thourough inspects and advanced rules.
Does anyone have experiance with either of these in a hosting environment and have input on the realistic throughput one can expect from either device?
There is a signifigant cost difference with the ASA5505 being much cheaper but I am more familiar with IOS. Would anyone recommend a 1841 router instead?

I currently have a dialup isp. We use a couple of wholesale dialup service providers to provide service to our users across the nation. I would like to provide my own dialup services across the nation if the cost is justible.
Here is what I want to do:
1. Buy a remote access server (RAS) with hundreds of modems in it. The RAS will have multiple T1/PRI/T3 interface cards in it depending on which one I get.
2.Place the RAS in a Houston, TX datacenter.
3. Get voice services from a carrier that can deliever multiple T1/PRI lines (or a T3). I would want a local DID or phone number in hundredes of locations across the nation. When a number is called, it would be rerouted back to the Houston, TX PRI/T1/T3 connections WITHOUT ANY LONG DISTANCE CHARGES.
Is this possible without paying an arm and a leg for it? Can anyone give me any recommendations besides stay with a wholesale dialup provider.

I've never purchased a dedicated server before, so I was wondering on what some of the more experienced members here thought.
This server I'm getting needs to be able to run VoIP (all details below), and maybe some E-commerce Software.
Details on what I need :
Two IBM Xeon+ servers having 2 GB RAM 250 GB HDD with fedora core 4 installed and live ip(public Ip) on those two boxes.
2Mbps direct line in one server.
Both boxes Should be in local LAN.
Would you recommend a Core2Duo server over the Xeon+ ?

If I visit my own public IP address, it won't show Apache from the computer running it. If I visit the private IP (http://192.168.1.102/) I can see it fine.
If I enter the private IP of the computer it is on, I can connect to it through internet explorer on a different computer in the network. When I visit my public IP, I get "page cannot be displayed".
Setup:
Modem (bridged) cable goes into VOIP box.
Cable from VOIP box goes into router.
Cables from router go into computers on network.
The IP address of my router is currently 192.168.1.1
The private IP of the computer running Apache is 192.168.1.102
I have forwarded port 80 (the apache port) on my router
Here are screenshots of my VOIP box (linksys) and router (dlink) admin pages: ....

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?

As my clients' needs expand, they're asking for chroot ssh/sftp setup. I'm currently on a dedicated Linux setup but don't really have the time to set up a whole new box with full virtualization or investigate a full chroot solution (baby on the way), and to be honest it would be less hassle to move to a new provider than worry about down time with sites.
What I'm looking for:
- linux hosting
- hosting for 30+ accounts, some with several domains
- at least 6 IP addresses for SSL certs
- each account in a full chroot environment (ssh/sftp/ftp) so they can't poke around each others' files, or each account set up in a virtual machine setup (ie: openvz)
- maildir
- spamassassin
- php 5, mysql, perl 5.8.8
- suexec apache would be nice

I made a couple of search on this forum but that did not fetch me what i exactly wish to know.
Obviously, the first question which has been asked millions of times
1. How good is their server performance?I have my site hosted from Godaddy.com. When i go for speed test of my site i always found the speed to be about 0.40 seconds while google and yahoo being 0.01 and 0.04 respectively.
2. I am need JAVA hosting. enom.com seems to offer every thing under one hosting plan which is really good for me.
3. I tried seeing their help files to find out how many times their TOMCAT restarts a day but i guess their help files are restricted to only registered user. Can some one please tell me is there a way to manually restart Tomact in enom.com?
4. The number of MySQL database is not important for me. What i am looking for is how much data can i save into each database. Godaddy.com offered 25 databases, for which i was pretty happy but latter on i figured out that the amount of data i can store is limited to 200 MB only. which is really sad!

They were hosting several of my websites, my server-side autoresponder and ad-tracker, etc. up until they disappeared last Mon-Tue, March 23-24.
I don't know whether to keep waiting, see if they re-appear or give up and just start re-building everything from scratch.

My server is with cheapvps.
I have just purchased a .info domain just to use for playing about on.. I purchased it from 123-reg.co.uk. I have 3 other domains with them but these are .com, .co.uk and .org.uk domains. All pointing to my VPS nameeservers..
For some reason when i goto add my nameservers to the .info domain it says
Error text: Nameserver ns1.playcontrol.co.uk doesn't exists in the registry
Error text: Nameserver ns2.playcontrol.co.uk doesn't exists in the registry
Ive not encounted this before. My friend purchased a .co.uk domain last night and when i added the nameservers to his it worked fine.
