Is the connection only through Verio?

For the time yes.. But i have to say i have never seen uptime as good as verio's. Almost 100% for over 10 1/2 months now. UUnet, intermedia, and 2 others also in the same facility. We plan to hook up with intermedia soon as well.. We are all in the same Data Center down town so it makes it easy.. :)

I think the way it is UUnet 2nd floor, intermedia Part of first and all of 3rd, Verio most of 4th floor and then there's us and 2 others there.

So i don't see us having line problems any time soon there.. :) We do plan to run BGP4 our self on top of verios 2 OC-12's and 2 OC-3's coming in with intermedia so should be 100% uptime at that point if not now with just verio..

We was thinking of UUnet but we had them at our old NOC and went down all the time and verio never did go down more then 1 min in 8 months.. So being right there with them should never cause any down time.. ;)

Plus in the move we upgraded all switch's and routers.. So every thing is like new. ( But has been tested for 2 months before the move. )


If you need any more info just ask... Thanks

Moving some of our servers late tonight to the new NOC so vortechhosting.com may be down time to time for the short move down there.. There is all ready a lot of users there we have been holing off the move our server as its no fun.. :(


But should be sweet..

Thanks for clearing it up. I was just curious since I saw 4 OC3s and only one backbone. But I'm assuming the OC3s are actually Verio's lines to other Verio POPs, not 4 OC3s from Verio to you. It makes sense now. :D

BTW, may want to check out your signature:

Deddicated & Co-Location Provider, Ultra Modren DataCetner, 100% Uptime guarantee!!

More than a couple typos there.

Glad to see you have better luck with Verio than we did. It's funny because our UUNet has been rock solid.

RackMy:
I have found with telco's very from state to state.. Like SPrint is great in NC but sucks ass here down once a week if not more..

Our UUnet line here in orlando would go down every nitght for about 30min to 1 hour and once a month for about 3 hours they said oh we are working on it in that area.. I started to ask them how much do they need to really work on it.. LOL

Verio on the other hand has been great 0 downtime with them. What state was it you had the problems and what kind of problem was it just so i know what to look out for.. :)


Planet Z:
Yea the OC-3 are verio's we are using about 1/4 of one of them right now.. So there is a lot of room on there network here to grow.. We keep our network under 50% used at any time. Verio i think does 66% of there lines every used. There are 4 OC-3's running in to our NOC downtown but we don't pull the full 155mb or what every it is.. We pug right in to there switch 3 floors up.. ;) Hope that helps..

Thanks for seeing that i was in a rush to get out of here to get every thing moved to night and messed it all up.. :)

Not to be picky/pushy but do you actually "own" the facility and the Verio backbone? If you're just colo'ing customers, it's not good to mislead them by showing how big you are by "owning" everything. It's good to be truthful. VenturesOnline has a suite in a Verio NOC and no where on their network page says that they own the network and stuff. They are even truthful about leasing the stuff.

The multi-million dollar Vortech Data Center is located in Orlando, Florida and is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Among the equipment installed in the data center are 7500 series Cisco routers, Sun, Cobalt, VALinux and Custom Server, a 200 KVA UPS emergency power system, and a 2,000 gallon diesel generator.

Another example..Did your company invest millions of dollars into the building of the datacenter? If so..then everything is fine by me :)

Hi,

Are there lots of HURRICANES down in Florida? If we hosted with you would this be an issue? If the servers we destroyed would you pay the damages etc?

Also do you provide a SLA
http://www.cobaltrack.com/hurr.html

Cheers

TBH I think that is Cobaltrack trying to scare people into using them.

I don't think I have heard any datacenters damaged severely by hurricanes.
I could be wrong tho - but I know in the UK, the datacenters are meant to be bombproof etc.

--James

The whole hurricane thing is bull. The only problem you'd really have to worry about is if the host didn't have a generator and the power went out. But most datacenters do have generators nowadays, so it's not really an issue.

Hell, they even have hurricanes in Virginia (where cobaltracks is). I've been running servers in South Florida for almost 4 years and have yet to have single outage do to a hurricane.

yeatsie:

No i have been here in FL for 6 years no and to tell you the truth i saw worse in VA.. ;) Yes we do offer SLA. 100% up time to your server. We should have this on our site for colo by the end on today..


teck:

You are right that we in a sense do not own this facility we did in our last one but moved in on the bottom floor with verio. One to cut LOOP charges off our T3's $4000 just for a loop is nuts.. So we cut $8000 a month just moving closer to them.. :) Plus now we can pull right from intermedia or UUnet as they are also in the telco center with us.. I do need to reword that thanks for seeing that.. Was true when we were in our old DataCenter but it was getting old and loop charges way to high.. ;)


Planet Z:

Man are you right cobaltracks is in VA i did not know that.. Thats where i am from.. To tell you the truth i would rather have a server here in FL then VA.. I saw storms 10 times wrose then i did here. Being in orlando helps a bit as well as we ar ein the middle.. Where are you at Planet Z..

I was only joking about that one, but i must admit it is a great marketing ploy... I bet they have scored a few extra customers out of that one

We're down in Boca (smack dab in the middle of West Palm and Miami) and also in Davie (near Fort Lauderdale, same place as Dialtone).

The problem is, most people believe anything they're told. Hysteria is always easy to stir up. :rolleyes:

Unless you colo is an a basement of your building to be close the fiber (Like some POPs are in Houston which I will never understand) and it floods.

I know, I know .... there are no basements in FL :)

No basements for us FL guys.. I kind of miss them now as i have no where to put old used up server like i did in VA..LOL

We have basements in Florida. They're called pools. :D

Do you have your own NOC down there or rent from some one? We are looking to put anyther DNS server some where on anther network do you guys do co-lo?

Indeed, we do colo. We don't have our own datacenter, so it's more of a rent space deal. We're the only ones in the datacenter that will sell you a colo for under $100,000 a month, though. ;)

Man that $100,000 a month would kill me.. LOL If you want can you send me some pricing for a 1u of list please and info on your Co-Lo center as well eg. What ISP, are the racks forced air, and can we get in 24/7 in needed.. Thanks man..

Is that based on 95th percentile or actual transfer?

Well really we can do it ether way.. We use a program from http://www.etinc.com/ that tells us the real bandwidth not that i think its not right with MRTG.. But we can do it ether way you like.. We can put the 2 together and see if they are about the same as well.. From what i have been able to tell the etinc.com program is right on every month on what you used not over not less... We ar enot picky and easy to work with on little things like this.. I mean if we give up 5% not a big deal really.. :)
