    Peak 10 charges a premium, but doesn't seem to be much better than anybody else. I was in their Louisville operation and remember going in for some server maintenance and the center floor had huge fans pushing air around because one of their HVAC units went out. Didn't alert customers to that at all. Lucky for me, my servers had internal heat sensors that would have alerted me to an overheat condition. Maybe someone else isn't so lucky... It was like that for a while too.

    They dont have redundancy - your systems are fed by single systems - and they have told me in the past when I was looking at some remote sites that their business customers dont need it. I am sure the guys in florida are thinking otherwise now. we did not go with them because of this. And someone is right - they were not cheap but their facilities were on the lower end.

    yawn, just got up...
    no new alerts now, guess they got it figured out. Took all day, must have been insane.

    The only problem I had there for 3 years was a gigabit+ DDS attack that hit the center and slowed up my server for a bit...that was before peak10 took over.
    With peak10 the only problem was a router reset or upgrade or something that caused two of my sites to not resolve, they just manually adjusted something for each site and done.

    glad I am not in there now....that is a massive failure. 15 minutes for the entire center? They said they had generators and backupsx2 that could last for weeks.

    Obviously someone fibbed to me on that.

    Yeah, gotta love marketing...

    They have 15min of battery, but apparently the generators arent redundant. So if it doesnt start, they can have all the fuel in the world. The batteries just get them transitioned to gen power.

    This is completely not true in their Tampa facility.

    For down here it is pretty standard among the big and mid sizes to ask 150 a month for 1U. Usually includeds 1 mbps, 1 or 2 amps power (whatever it is, it is enough), and actually can go 1 or 2 U for that price, but only one computer.

    I've called around down here enough to say that is the price. Smaller outfits will charge less.

    according to peak10 their next step up in lauderdale is 1/2 cab, no 1/4 or 1/8. Although if you speak with them they might work something out. I could never get them to clearify much in pricing though.

    Perhaps they improved since we toured them in 2006. Their facility wasn't bad but there wasn't anything remarkable about it either. They only had one generator, and I recall the ambient temperature being more appropriate for an office full of people than a machine room. At the time I wonderered if they were a little short on cooling, but didn't ask because we already knew by that point in the tour we weren't going to use them.

    They not only failed to impress us, but they proactively annoyed us with their gushing sales pitch that only had value to marketing department. We techies were decidedly unimpressed.

    Funny there web site claims multiple backup gen sets it's not impossible for all of them to fail at once but it's fairly improbable.

    The days of machine rooms having temperatures of meat lockers is long gone. I no longer worry if the cold isle it 78 degrees F. or lower. The hot isle can be even hotter than that.

    If you are in a high temp facility with true hot and cold isles you will want to make sure you use blanking plates (air flow management) in any rack slots you are not using.

    Times they are a changing. I still have to remind myself when I go into datacenters and don't have to wear a sweater.
