    Did you just say that gigenet is a huge datacenter?

    Not sure that's correct ;)

    Ah! I just figured it out. From http://www.harbourcentre.com/tech_home.htm -

    I am curious - can you provide more information about the 7 'power grids' you claim your facility is lit by?

    This DL140 in a baseline configuration (2x proc, 4GB RAM,2x HDD) will draw ~400w, or less than 2a@208v. Is it perfect? No - is the provider going to retire off of colocating this server? No.
    That...

    I'm gonna have to go ahead and um, disagree with you there tshen83. All colo providers with their heads screwed on straight will include the power draw in their per U pricing. Not to mention the type...

    Troboy,

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news - but this doesn't sound like a viable opportunity. I don't think that monetizing your childhood home with an Internet facility based business is going...

    CrimsonGT,

    I have a question - Why are you choosing to colocate a server instead of going with a dedicated server solution? Dedicated servers relieve you of the burden of owning the hardware and...

    Well - I have seen some octo-core, 32GB RAM boxes get up past the 100mbit mark - but you're right, most game servers just don't need gigE links.

    What you're trying to do sounds all well and good with the exception of the fact you are using tower servers - tower servers are a very poor choice for a datacenter environment and will limit you to...

    pricing on gigE ports will vary from provider to provider depending on the type of ports they have readily available in the market you are looking for. Game servers don't really need gigE ports (If...

    gothambus - Thats a reasonable price for the cabinet alone, by the way thats 30a @ 120v or 24 usable amps. However if you are getting 25mbit of bandwidth along with it - its going to be very low...

    CacheFly's pricing is on their website for accounts up to 1200GB. You have to contact them for pricing 2TB and beyond, but they are more than reasonable. Also, storage pricing is much lower than...

    Please for the love of all that is holy - stop referring to Amazon S3 as a CDN. They are an Online Storage Provider and thats about the extent of it. Just because you serve up the media from two...

    If this is a box to play around with, maybe run a screen session from and troll IRC, I say go for it. Remember you always get what you pay for, and in 99.9% of colo business models, you would...

    I will not argue that the CBOT is fed from 6 different substations, however all power comes from the same public grid (not dual-grid like 350 Cermak), and you made no mention of the status of your...
  19. It's like anything else

    You get what you pay for. FDC and Colostore are both economy shops. They do what they do, and they do it to the best of their ability, but they cannot offer you multiple levels of redundancy in...
