Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Colocation and Data Centers : Dedicated at 60 Hudson

[phonedev]

I am looking for 1/4 rack space (5-6u) for my client who wants to lease dedicated boxes at 60 Hudson using Level3 bandwidth. Its a telephony company and they want the space there and no where else. Their main origination pop is at that place (telx).

Someone quoted $899 plus extra 100$ per EACH box to be hosted there.

Can someone help?

What exactly do you need help with?

There's a colocation forum for this...

My guess is that he's looking for suggestions and perhaps opinions on the quote he has.

Hmmm...is this quote directly from TelX or some other datacenter/tenant in that building?

Because even by NYC standards, that's a bit expensive ($900 + $100 per box). And I am assuming they are charging for each additional box because of power, so if you put a powerful blade server, technically one enclosure, would they provide all the power it needs for just $100?

Try http://www.ftgx.com/ I am not 100% sure if they are carrier neutral but they do have level(3) in their BGP mix, so may be you can work out with them a deal for just level(3). The last time I asked them for a quote was a couple of months ago and I dont have the sales contact info of the person I talked to. But the quote was very reasonable for NYC.

Rack space or dedicated are both fine with us. Since we are not near the datacenter - we would prefer dedicated boxes.

Are there any dedicated or colo provider at that space?

Thanks.

I agree with HNLV. Very clever.

I would give sirius telecom a call, they have a nice facility at 60 hudson.

That's where we are at 60 - we've been happy with FTGX. I've heard that they have built out a new colo space on the 12th floor if you want rackspace.

I contacted FTGX, and was told they rent full racks only!
