Just looking at getting a 1u box with a local provider. They provide .75amps per box.
Previously we have gone a bit crazy and gone with dell 1950s with dual quad cores and a few disks. As you can imagine these specs go well over the .75 amps.
What type of spec server would you recommend for that power? Looking at something for small scale web hosting, duall HDs and about 2gb of ram.
We are about to install 4 Compaq Proliant DL360 servers and a small Linsys switch into a data centre but I have no idea how many amps a small setup like this is going use? What kinda power does a server generally use and is there a way to keep the power it pulls to a minimum.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhat kind of spec would I need for serving direct/hotlinking 100mb+ files? I've looked all over the place but couldn't find anything.
And let say a sudden spike of 400+ people and they are downloading a file [url]simultaneously that is 100mb+ in size.
How much ram would I require?
What vps you can get for 50$-100$ max. I need to find some offers for a friend.
What is needed for this vps, much ram, unmetered bandwith (10mbps), as much HD space as possible. Lxadmin is fine for cp.
I have one Core2 Duo E6300 (TDP 65W), one 250GB HDD SATA, and one 2GB DDR2 RAM module.
How many Amps should this server use, in a 220V circuit?
I've got a 1U case and i was wondering what i could fit in there to get the most out of it. I'm looking at colocation and i'm allowed 0.4amps.
Will i be able to run a
2 x quad core xeon
4x2GB FB-DIMMs or 8x1GB FB-DIMMs
4x1TB HDD
if any of you know the charging amps of a smart ups 3000 or 2200(I cant find it on the apc site)?... I'm thinking to use it to charge a 48v golf cart... anything bad about doing this?.. I'm thinking the golf cart batteries are too large and may take a couple days to charge with the ups...
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat 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.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI recently got a quote for server co-location at Hurricaine Electric in Fremont CA- they quoted me a good rate for my 1U server, but added that it only comes with 2.5 AMPs. My new Dell SC1450 has a 600W power supply- so it could be drawing 6.667 AMPs- any tips on how I can figure out what it's actually drawing?

I would really appreciate a response from anybody who works in a datacentre or runs any R200's.
Im trying to find out how many amps a R200 is likely to use on the following specs.
Quad Core Intel® Xeon® X3360, 2.83GHz, 2x6MB Cache, 1333MHz FSB
4GB Memory, DDR2, 800MHz (4x1GB Dual Ranked DIMMs)
C1 - Onboard SATA, 1 Drive connected to Onboard SATA Controller - No RAID
160GB, SATA, 3.5-inch, 7.2K RPM Hard Drive x2
Riser with PCI-E Support (1xPCI-E x8 slot, 1x PCI-E x4 slot)
Ive been on the dell calc and they dont even have the processor that im after in their calc for me to get a bearing... even then i couldnt trust it.
Here is the actuall link to the server im talking about.
[url]
c=uk&cs=ukbsdt1&kc=305&l=en&oc=SV4R200&s=bsd&sbc=pedge_r200
I have always found this odd and do not understand enough to figure it out.
Any knowledgeable people would be cool.
My datacenter has given me 2amp circuit for my computer. It seems to run fine on it.
Looking at the back of my power supply it says the following
520Watt max
Input rating
100-240v~,50-60Hz
7A-3A
Output rating
+3.3V & +5V combined 150W max
12V combined current 39A max
(and a lot of other stuff on amps and volts for output).
Now, Watts = Volts * Amps.
So if I have 520watts and 12 volts would be 43 amps
If it means 520 watts and 3.3volts it would be 157 amps
However it seems to max at 39amps on the back for output.
I imagine input is all that matters here and at 520 watts and 100 to 240volts that would be
5.2 amps to 2.16 amps
And the thing says 7amps to 3 amps on the back for input.
So....I imagine that is the max it can pull before dying.
However, I have 4 drives, 4 ram sticks, and 2 quad core cpus all going and I would figure I am at least halfway or more of the power use.
And the power says it starts at 3amps anyway.
But I only get 2amps.
i want to use centos and cpanel to build a server, i will create hundreds account on it, all the accounts will put only pictures or little html files, no php or mysql or mail service on it. the bandwidth of the server may be about 20M ~ 30M all the time, how could i build a economical and stable server to run this? about the hardware, intel e2160 with 8G ram and sata hd, is it enough? or should i need to add which part to get better?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI'm considering building the following 1U rack server for colocation. I'm completely new to rack servers and colocation so I would be very grateful to hear your opinions:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU
ASUS P5B-VM SE Motherboard
8GB PC5300 667MHz Non-ECC RAM
500GB HDD
345W Power Supply
I also have a few specific questions:Are there any differences between the Q6600 and it's Xeon equivalent? (especially power wise?)
Are there any disadvantages using a desktop motherboard in a (1U) server? (again, especially power wise?)
I've read that non-ECC memory is a lot more acceptable for servers now than it was a few years ago, is this true?
Does a 500GB drive use much more power than a 160GB drive?
How many watts of power can I expect the server to use?
Does a 1U chassis usually come with uATX mounting points?
i dont know the device name so how is it possible for me to check the hdd spec and devices... got centos5
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am kind of new to the idea of colo and am curious how you know the amount of amps to purchase for your server? I want my machine to have enough to run efficiently without causing hardware failures.

I have one server now which will be doing some intense PHP/MySQL serving. I want to grow into a second server that will handle the Apache server and leave MySQL on the original box.
Question is whether I can get something decent that will only pull .5 AMPS? Why? I have to choose a co-location provider and have narrowed it down to 2- the one I like very much because will give me 7U of rack space for $200 a month- but they limit you to 2 AMPS and my Dell SC1435 pulls about 1.4 at top usage.
The other option is another co-lo (closer to my home) that is just 1U space and costs $149 for the 1 Mbps burstable. So the it will cost $298 a month when I add the second server.
So can anyone suggest some decent low energy boxes for serving (for example) 250 very low storage CMS (Joomla) sites where the database backend is offloaded to another server (connected via each server's secondary LAN port)?
i find some company rent dedicated server to offer download server,
the package of month bandwidth is 1TB,and month fee is about $8,
for a stand server with $120 permonth,
it can only run 15 accounts,
and it will need 15TB per month to use,
i wonder where to buy so cheaper dedicated server can offer 15TB with $120 month fee,
and what hardware to run 15TB but only $120 per month?
Here are my requirements:
A. Space: 1/2 a secured cabinet
B. Location : Bay area
C. Power: 8 amps
D. B/w: 1 Mbps
I got quotes from
A. www.bayarea.net for 1 cabinet with 20 amps $699
B. www.he.net for 1 cabinet with 15 amps $600
C. www.svcolo.com/ for 1 cabinet with 15 amps $695
I am wondering who can give me 1/2 a secured cabinet for around $300 to $400
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?
I run a large service on 2 machines (we're talking 8x2.66Ghz processing power, 4-6GB ram, etc), however we are thinking about creating a node/clustered setup to help spread the load, bandwidth, mysql (having one server for hundreds of thousands of databases is not wise it seems :p), diskspace etc. Lots of machines just seems to be a cheaper and more powerful option.
Would you advise going with lots of lower end machines, or just a few mid-range machines.
Here is what I propose:
3 of these
Dual Xeon 3GHZ Dual-Core (4x3GHz)
3GB RAM
500GB Sata Drive
4000 GB Bandwidth
100mbit
or
4 of these
XEON X3220 QUAD CORE 2.4GHZ 1066FSB
2GB DDR2 RAM (Upgradeable)
250GB HDD
2000GB Bandwidth
100mbit
or
7 of these
Dual Xeon 3.06 Ghz
2GB DDR2 RAM
250GB SATA
2000GB BW/MONTH
100mbit
All of the above are roughly similar prices in total.
I've been out of the game for a while and now looking at colo prices each server is only allocated 0.5a on most plans.
I was looking at purchasing a 1u HP DL160 dual quad core system with at least dual sata raided drives
My question is what kind of amps would a system like this pull? and how much do data centers typically charge for that additional power if it needed over the .5
if anyone knew hosts (other then FDC in USA) that offers 1U-4U/midtower colocation with 100Mbit or greater uplink, with atleast 2TB of transfer. With IRC allowed.
My budget is ~$100, I'm fairly sure it can be done as I saw FDC had one for $79, and it would be fine though I was hoping if anyone knew any others.
Also, Giga-International has what I need, are they reliable?
Anyone here have much experience in a facility with 48VDC (like a telco facility). Is it more trouble than it's worth?
View 9 Replies View Relatedcolo of a 1u server that would need 500gig per month of b/w and I perferably would like to find a DC in NY/northern NJ or southern CT although in my search I seem to be getting price quotes of $100+ per month which I think is insane when I see dedicateds with more b/w for the same amount or even less.
I know most will say just get a dedicated server somewhere but my requirments are that I need a server with a lot of ram and at least a dual cpu and dedicate's with a dual cpu and 2gigs or more of ram seem to be much more thenmy budget.
So any suggestions for a $60 or less per month colo space with 500gig of b/w or a dedicated server provider offering a server in that price range with dual cpu and 2gig ddr ram and 80gig hdd?
By the way I looked at ezzi.net which has a $49 deal on a dedicated server but no option to have one with a dual cpu:
I have had experience with reselling hosting using HostGator seller. My job was basically to run my site and get customers, set up price plans etc on WHM. I sold that company a while back. I am ready to have another shot at hosting, but this time I want to use my own servers...
I have found a great site, which has customisations etc. on servers (http://www.cybertronpc.com), but they don't ship to UK. (If I'm using colo is US, could I get it shipped straight to them?)
My main question is, is colo needed? If I am going to setup this company the Data-Center is not going to be local, either London or in US. So there is no chance of me going down unless it is to pick up my server . So I think I'm going to need a maintaned service I think. The server will be used for clients data (shared hosting). So what services will I need in terms of security and stability? What am I looking for in a colo service? What about back-ups of data on the server? Is that my responsibility or can it be bought as a service? Ok... now I'm guessing that I'm going to need colo...
What are common problems etc. with servers? Am I going to need virtual IP connection for maintainance... Is it best I pay for this or a service operator? Any recommendations on where to have the colo (i'm based in UK) and why? What can I do when it is time for me to request my server back from UK?
When changing colo services is there any way of avoiding down-time?
I have noticed that many web hosts offer intel celeron machines @ $55 per month...they do not own the datacenters but colocate the servers,
We are also thinking of buying 2-3 such machines @ $450 each and then coloing them in the USA
I think about 800gigs-1tb would be the bandwidth requirements per server..
we aren't interested in RACKS...we just want to colo 2-3 machines to see how fast they sell, and then maybe we might order about 10-15 servers..
who do you think can offer us a decent deal for less than $40-50 per month...all
currently I have managed several dedicated servers. I plan to colo it with 1 rack at a datacentre. So, before I buy hardware or software, I need some helpful info/guide.
- I need my server can be monitored, reboot remotely. What kind of hardware is require and please suggest some models.
- Which software is suitable for billing, monitoring. Please suggest any software come with good API since I plan to develop own small control panel later.
anyone knows any good colocations in orlando, FL? I need 2 mb and 300 gb for 49.99 per month.
