Joe's DC Sales - Lack of Response
Has anyone heard a peep from Joe's DC sales within the past few weeks?
We emailed them about 2 weeks ago requesting a quote for a setup that is not available through their normal ordering site. After no response, we sent a follow-up, but still haven't been contacted.
Reading the reviews around here indicated that Joe's DC was a pretty decent budget place to colo at. We don't need a super-awesome setup, just a place to pop some servers down for awhile.
Since they're not responding, maybe someone could shed some light as to what's going on over there, or even better, if there's a comparably priced colo DC in Kansas City that you could recommend?

If Joe's isn't responding I'd suggest wholesaleinternet. Pricing should be same/similar.

I'd email Aaron directly. Was with them for a year on this plan listed below. An additional power or network drop for $10 is cheap for me.
Single 120v Power feed
Single Ethernet drop
10Mbit Unmetered or 2000GB of transfer per month
5 IPs on a private VLAN (IPv4)
FREE DirectAdmin License
/64 of IPv6 addresses available (roughly 18 quintillion addresses)
FREE SETUP - $40 per month

I'm not sure where you're seeing the 500GB. If you could let me know I could get that corrected.
Our current colo offerings include 2000GB or 10Mbits Unmetered.
It's at the very bottom of the page here:

Aaron I take it he saw that offer on the front page of your website. Under server specials with a link to the colo page it says the following:
Single Server Special
Single Server or 4U with 500GB transfer
$50 per month Click For More Info
Edit: Also under dedicated servers on your navigation bar this plan is listed in the scrolling text.Last edited by Jason K; 05-10-2011 at 08:20 PM.

Hi Yosi,
I've been shipping few servers to Joe's in the past couple days from Quebec, Canada. You're looking at no less than $65 CAD per box using Canada Post Expedited (Canada Post forces you to use their Expedited service due to size and weight). Based on online quotes, UPS and Purolator seems even more expensive. At least, they do get there in 4 business days.

I know Joe and Aaron use the same building, But do either of them utilize backup generators due to the type of building their in?

Wholesale does have a backup generator, and aside from a minor power issue due to maintenance a couple months back, service over there is solid. Not sure about Joes though, didn't see one listed on the website, but still may exist.

Where is the generator based, Because their both based in the tower oak building which is a high-rise: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oak_Tower
Unless the generator is based within the datacenter and some fume extraction system is in place and they carry the fuel in the lift to the generator on the datacenter floor, Which is highly unlikely, Do they have some tanks on the ground floor and run fuel pipes to the generator...
Do they even have one?
That would be power from the UPS system and not power from a generatorLast edited by Server Management; 05-11-2011 at 10:03 AM.

Secondary and temporary power is supplied by UPS battery systems in the power room. We have sufficient UPS battery strength to assure continuity of power to the entire colocation and dedicated server facility. In addition, a separate UPS system maintains all critical networking infrastructure.
Third and final backup power comes from a 400 kilowatt diesel generator. Fuel access points on the ground level of the building allow us to refuel the generator tanks at any time. The generator can be run indefinitely to supply power to the facility.

I have no doubts, But am interested in how Aaron vents it and how the exhausting is worked
A 400 kilowatt generator is not something you can take up to the datacenter floor in a lift, I wonder how he managed to get it into the datacenter, Unless they used a crane and took it through a window or something.Last edited by Server Management; 05-11-2011 at 01:13 PM.

^^ It's not uncommon to have generators indoors for highrises. They pipe the exhaust out the side or top of the building and have a good fresh air source for the intake. With the exhaust routed outside the engine itself isn't going to emit anything except noise into the building. How it got into the building varies...could be during construction or via underground parking garage, ect...
