where I can get higher then a T1 connection. T1 anymore is close to a high speed cable connection. As high as my cable company(InsightBB) offersis 15mbps. But i know there is some OC-13 connections that go right through my state. From Chicago to St. Louis.
What I am wondering is there anywhere I can call to see how much it would be to run say a 50mbps or even 100mbps. I have searched and searched and cant find one in Springfield, Illinois.
I was also wondering if anyone new of any Colo centers in or closely around Springfield,Il I know of Hanson Information system's but they only do shared and dedicated servers and the servers are in Texas they are just based out of here.
(Not to DC owners If there isn't one in Springfield id say it be a good idea to have one. We rarely have major weather issues bout the same as chicago or STL An as far as I can tell there isnt any here. An property is pretty cheap here.)
We've browsed/searched a lot these last years and I believe fdcservers has the best bandwidth deal, with stability and a good service.
We've been searching the last days and found some other companies (ex 10TB.com). Are there any other companies that would offer something as 'good' as fdc regarding bandwidth?
10TB says they use softlayer's DC but it seems they don't use their network (got that information on a chat with SL's sales) so in my opinion there is no benefits to be on SL's DC if we don't use their network which is really good/stable. We've found that 10tb.com is a new company and their site has 404 and incorrect contact e-mails address which made we 'quit' the signup process.. (and because it is hard to 'trust' a new company with lot of bandwidth - and errors on their website - when there are others on the market for a long time that couldn't offer it).
What do you think about 10tb.com? Other options? What about fdc? Is it worth going with them to host streaming ? We need as much bandwidth as possible, but we also need quality.
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 want to buy dedicated servers or colocated servers in Los Angeles data centers. I found 2 data centers: pacificrack.com and fastserv.com. I have no experience about them.
If you know the datacenters in LA, could you review ?
Does anyone know any North Dallas (Richardson/Plano/Garland) datacenters? I found sunguard but looking for more to compare. I've heard of an AT&T datacenter but can't get anyone on the phone.
if any of you know any reputable data centers located in Australia. It does not matter what part of Australia, just that its located in that country. I'd appreciate your feedback or links.
Is there any German DataCenter which allow payment via paypal? Or maybe some agents are available who make possible payment via paypal for German Servers?
I am thinking of colocating with these guys. I am just wondering if anyone on this forum has colocated with them before. I know that they host some big websites such as isohunt so I am assuming that they are good.
I've been looking for a descent DC in North Scottsdale, AZ near the airport and came accross i/o Data Centers. It's a 100K sq ft, Tier 4 facility. I believe they managed the Downtown Phoenix Technology Exchange before selling it recently and this is their 1st DC with more planned.
www.iodatacenters.com
Is anyone currently colocating there and could you comment on how things have gone so far with their services and DC and if you would recommend them? Pricing, cooling, how they are treating you?
I like most of what I'm hearing from them but would be great to hear some real world experiences.
I've tried a few DC's in Phoenix over the past few years but cooling has always been an issue with outdated cabinets.
Is there some kind of resource for finding local data centers? I've tried google and yell and no luck, either there's no data centers in Southampton UK or i'm blind
I would like to know how many dedicated server companies are based in Canada who do colo or have there own Data Center. I do know iweb is one. There are few more like peer1 and who else is there. I know there is search option but its giving too many results and i have very limited internet connectivity atm
We are looking to add canadian data center in our portfolio as well. And I am in Canada these days on business trip.
Has anyone pulled off a mass server move during the middle of the night? We have decided 350 E Cermak is where we want to be but are still working out the details of where we want to be in the building.
While the final details are being finished, I need to come up with some kind of plan to pull the move off with the least amount of downtime. Our current dc is about 4 miles away from 350 Cermak and we have approximately 50 servers to move. I plan on leaving a linux box around to redirect any traffic that is ignoring TTLs.
I was thinking the best thing to do would be label and remove all harddrives, then see if a moving company could put the servers on palettes, wrap them, and move them to 350 E Cermak. Not sure if a moving company would work in the middle of the night or not.
Courier services are pretty much out. Anytime we have had a courier service move anything not in a massive box with padding, it gets bent or broken.
I am trying to find out all the data centers that are out there in Orange county california, and Los Angeles, California? I can not find alot of them on the search engines, or in yellow books?
Does anyone know of a private Data Center with Satellite uplink/downlink connectivity in addition to Fiber?
I know the government depends on them for military purposes, but I was wondering if anyone is aware of a private, FCC liscenced data center with the capability to transmite/host data via satellite in case of disasters, remoteness etc. It seems complimentary for a data center but I haven't heard of it.
Is there any market research on this? What is a good source of information to find out about how many data centers there are, how much revenue they bring in, costs, etc? What is the data center bible?
I am trying to find all the data centers in my area, if someone knows of any others, let me know:
twtelecom (Greensboro and a small one in Winston Salem) Time Warner Cable (Greensboro) CarolinaNet (Greensboro) Data Chambers (Winston Salem) DukeNet (Winston Salem / Greensboro) - Can't get anyone here. SolidSpace (Winston Salem)
Any others people know about? Even if its close by ( 30 minutes away ). I am with twTelecom but I'm looking for a 2nd location as well.
Anyone know about Data Chambers or SolidSpace? Last time I checked, they were pricey, but it's been awhile.
DHas anyone got experience of having a web server and db server setup where the servers are in different datacenters? Is this a viable solution or would the performance of sites suffer too much due to the added latency? The only other problem I can think of is additional bandwith usage but that's not a major worry.
Reason I ask is beacause I've found and excellent deal for a DB server and would like to keep my current server for the front end..
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?
