    Yes both work fine. FS.com are great but shipping can be either expensive on a cheap / small item or direct from Hong Kong so slow. Amazon has a bunch of 10gTek optics which can be handy if you...
  2. Too early for me to recommend them, but we just...

    Too early for me to recommend them, but we just got some HP 5900AF-48G-4XG-2QSFP+ for top of rack. 4 SFP+ and 2 QSFP+ - so 12 ports plus the 48 gigabit. < 5K too, and with full L3 and a whole load...

    All Supermicro here. Which replaced Dell 5 years or so ago now.
    No issues at all really. Do wish they had an option for SFP+ rather than 10G Base T though - we're buying the gigabit boards and not...

    I've had a few offers that are reasonable. Now working on the approval process at work to discover what my budget really is.

    Agreed that the power can be a significant part of the expense, I'm...
  5. Looking for 12U in LA, low bandwidth

    I have a VMware based lab (3X2U servers+5U of NetApp and a 1U switch) which is used for solution testing and demos and what not. I've been lucky enough to have had it in someone else's rack for the...

    One option with some Cisco products is to dig through their security vulnerabilities lists for the product concerned - if you can find an applicable one you can raise a TAC case to be given free...

    Sounds like a memory leak or counter bug, triggered by high throughput levels. Have had similar issues with a Dell switch in the past, though it kept passing frames and only the management...

    There's no comparison between a 3640 and a 3745, a 3640 would not be up to the task at all - which is why they're worthless now. One thing to consider is that a recent switch in front of a 3745 or...

    Given the choice I'd probably go for a J series, but a 2811 or 2821 will do fine, or if you want to go cheap/used 3745's are super cheap these days even with redundant power supplies and 512MB of 3rd...

    Yes a couple of decent servers running Linux or BSD is the cost effective path.
    What type of traffic is it? 2 gigs of streaming is a lot less taxing on the firewall than 2 gigs of web (an...
  11. Or even ask them if they can put in an extra...

    Or even ask them if they can put in an extra power circuit - it shouldn't be possible for a customer to trip the breaker - it should be rated for maximum load + 20%.
  12. My advice would be to spend the extra and look at...

    My advice would be to spend the extra and look at Equinix El Segundo - should be < 2000 including 50 meg of bandwidth on Equinix Direct (multi provider bandwidth marketplace). 24X7 facility and just...
  13. There's a huge difference between the 3550 and...

    There's a huge difference between the 3550 and 3560 - 3550 is 10/100 and from circa 2000 IIRC. 3560 is = 3570 without stacking capability.
    I agree with fastserv, they're very fast for basic routing...

    And having screened all employees with access to the environment. But yes if you're just taking straight co-lo that's it.
    I've been doing PCI consulting (and CISP before that) for many years, and...

    Another vote for Panther here.
  16. I've been using it for several years now, via...

    I've been using it for several years now, via both gigabit and fast Ethernet connections. Cost varies depending on which providers you choose to use via the web interface, and vary from 11 to 200 a...

    As you walk to your cage/cabinet, checkout some of the asset tags and hostnames on other peoples servers :)
    Also several companies have staff on site at Ashburn, they're usually fairly easy to talk...

    Yeah it amuses me greatly that they persist in not signing their buildings, it's a pain when you need to give a customer a tour and the 20+ megawatts of generating capacity and 20,000 tons of cooling...

    Checkout the Allied Telesyn range too, cost effective and they're not charging the ridiculous premium for 10 gig ports that Cisco are. AT-9448Ts/XP, is 48 gig, plus 2 XPF 10 gig for about $3100.

    IVE is for SSL VPN only I believe. As is the Cisco AnyConnect client which is also available for 64 bit. I'm looking for IPSEC.
  22. The thing still driving me nuts is that 2 1/2...

    The thing still driving me nuts is that 2 1/2 years after the release of Windows XP 64, neither Cisco nor Juniper have a 64 bit IPSEC client. Nowadays there are plenty of companies using 64 bit...

    HP - see the DL140 (non redundant), and DL360 - redundant.
    IBM
    Supermicro
    Sun do nice x86 kit these days too.

    +1 for Marina del Rey, as well as Cogent - which is cheaper than anything you'll find either downtown or El Segundo, there's ISI - the IT part of USC, which rents a few racks out. I've got stuff all...

    I looked at it recently but decided it wasn't quite ready for me - I specifically needed 'no bgp-enforce-first-as' and it's not going to be in there for a couple of releases.
    I've ended up using...
