Spain dedicated server with 30-50Tb traffic?
Hi!
I'm looking for a dedicated server in Spain. Must have good connectivity to Telefonica. Any pointers to good providers with reasonable prices appreciated.
I'm not very picky about the server hardware, I'm more concerned with good network connectivity and reasonable prices. Below is a typical setup I use, but I'm flexible.
Intel Quad core 2 Ghz or faster
8 Gb RAM
2x1Tb HDD
1 Gbps uplink
I would prefer to spend under 1000 - 1500 euros per month. Traffic billing either by volume transferred or 95th percentile according to usage. I need to be able to burst to a minimum of 200 Mbps.
P.S. Since I've seen a lot of requests from shady characters, I might just add that this is for web hosting for a EU corporate client. All legit stuff. I need to offload some traffic local to Spain for a better end user experience.

I think you can get a good quote from NFSI.pt, they're a DC from Portugal and a very good one.
They should have a great connectivity to Telefonica.
Their email is: sales@nfsi.pt

Miguel

Jep. Furthermore I actually have a quote from NFSI. Their Madrid datacenter doesn't seem to be online yet, despite claims that it would come online in April. NFSI also isn't directly connected to Telefonica, but transits through Deutche Telecom, which results in round trip times of 71 msec.

Neither their website or looking glass confirms this.
Good for them. However, when quoted they explicitly told me that they would not be directly connecting to Telefonica. I hope they are doing better in Madrid than in Lisboa, because their connectivity through DTAG to Telefonica is a joke.

We, Portugal, have connections to Madrid.
Direct connections, everyone has to pass by them.
Regarding Lisboa connectivity: its good, I don't have any problems tho. But if isnt enough for you... keep searching. Best luck for you.
I'd say, email them asking about the Madrid Datacenter.

1) You can't beat physics even with the best network - round trip time from Softlayer to Telefonica 100+ ms.
2) [strike]Already been covered.[/strike] Appears to be transiting through AT&T, despite claims of direct peering.
3) Each to their own. If you can live with the god awful latency, more power to you.

Not sure about any DC's in Spain. What about OVH? They are somewhat geographically close and am sure that can meet your bandwidth needs. Just a suggestion

Looks like traceroute NL - Telefonica is ~ 36 ms before it hits the telefonica network.
(Telefonica wholesale). Thats pretty good.
Telefonica's link on AMS-IX is congested, so if you would consider a NL provider for your needs. i would suggest one that connects trough a carrier like Telia. Not one that peers directly with Telefonica on the AMS-IX.█ Swiftway.net Your Business deserves our Quality - Experts on Hand since 2005.

Unless you're doing latency sensitive stuff, which doesn't seem to be the case, you should be testing download speeds, not ping times.

I'm quite sure you are aware that the user experience and the throughput of a web site is a function of both latency and bandwidth. Furthermore in the real world, when you need to sort out connectivity problems it helps to be directly connected and being able to talk to all parties involved. That's totally impossible if you are transiting N networks to reach your customers thousands of miles away.

We're not talking about thousands of miles here; even though I don't like the setup of OVH I think it's the best price you're going to get and it should give you great speed. Just do some tests, as 36 milliseconds is nothing. I'm seeing on a home connection from Eastern Europe to Chicago 1,5MB/s, and that's several thousand miles.

From OVH's datacenter to Madrid it is about 1500 km, further if you want to reach end users in the provinces and even further if following how traffic is routed, which seems to go through London and Paris at times to/from OVH. It all adds up.
Peak values are not mean values. A good writeup why latency matters:

The speed is constant throughout the day on that specific test; anyway, I'm still recommending you do more download tests from various providers around Europe to see which will work best if you're going for something affordable, otherwise there are plenty of DCs in Spain, but it will cost you quite a bit.
