v5 v6 1 1 = Colocation Options = 2 2 3 This wiki page has been started to help track down our options for colocation, a discussion started with ticket #149. 4 5 Our current electricity use is about 1.9 KVA or about 15 Amps. 3 This wiki page has been started to help track down our options for colocation, a discussion started with ticket #149 and now continues on #1098. 6 4 7 5 == Telehouse == 8 6 9 '''Contact''' Jamie 7 Location: Staten Island 10 8 11 '''Status''' They are our current provider. I plan to call them back once we get competitive quotes to see if we can lower our rates.9 Pros and cons: We get to keep our IP addresses. Yay! Terrible transportation options and pricey electricity. 12 10 13 '''General overview''' We're generally happy with the serivce. Calling in re-boots is easy and doesn't cost extra. We only have had one problem - they installed our original ethernet run which had a problem leading to intermittent failures. They fixed it in a relatively timely manner. 11 {{{ 12 Full rack: 1 13 Electricity: 3KVA (equiv. to 30 Amp) 14 Bandwidth: $50/Mbit, 10Mbit commit (provided by Hurricane Electric) 15 We can keep our IP addresses 16 }}} 14 17 15 '''Web site''' http://telehouse.com 18 Price:$2550 16 19 17 '''Facilities address''' 25 Broadway, NY NY 20 {{{ 21 $2050 (includes cross connect to Telehouse) 22 $500 Bandwidth (10Mbit) 23 $2550 Total 18 24 19 '''Quote/Offer''' We pay $1,050 per month for a single rack which includes 1 KVA, plus $400 per extra .5 KVA, plus $500 month for bandwidth. 25 Extra electricity: $62/amp 26 ($250/.5KVA plus $250 per circuit) 27 }}} 20 28 21 == Hurricane Electric==29 == Convergent Networks == 22 30 23 '''Contact''' Jamie 31 Location: Hicksville, LI 24 32 25 '''Status''' They are our current bandwidth provider, however, they say they have locations in NY (other than Telehouse). I've had an exchange of emails with a sales rep who only seems interested in selling us space in San Jose, but I'm still trying to get a quote for another NY or Newark location.33 Pro's and Con's: In Long Island (Hicksville) - poor transportation options. We would need to redo all IP addresses. However, really cheap power and lots of bandwidth. 26 34 27 '''General overview''' The bandwidth service has been good. We've had a few problems. On two occasions we had routing problems with certain members. On one of these occasions they admitted to restarting a router which fixed the problem, on another occasion is just started working again and they said they didn't do anythin. On another occasion they restarted their NYC router without warning, leading to 5 minutes of downtime. 35 {{{ 36 Full rack: 1 37 Electricity: 40 Amps 38 Bandwidth: 50 Mbit (how much for overage?) 39 }}} 28 40 29 '''Web site''' http://he.net 41 Price: $1499 30 42 31 '''Facilities address''' 25 Broadway (Telehouse) 43 {{{ 44 Combined price: $1499 32 45 33 '''Quote/Offer''' $1850 for 20 Amps of power (this is exactly what Telehouse offers) + $500 for 10 Mbit/second (burstable to 100 Mbit/seconds). This price is no different then our current setup - but our current setup has the added advantage of independence - we're not getting both services from the same company. 46 Extra electricity is billed at $15/Amp 47 }}} 34 48 35 == Internap==49 == Bandcon == 36 50 37 '''Contact''' Jamie51 Location: 111 8th Avenue 38 52 39 '''Status''' I filled out their web form requesting more information 53 Pro's and Con's: Great location, would require new IPs 40 54 41 '''General Overview''' 55 {{{ 56 Full rack: 1 57 Electricity: 40 Amps 58 Bandwidth: 10 Mbit 59 }}} 42 60 43 '''Web site''' http://www.internap.com 61 Price: $1570 44 62 45 '''Facilities address''' 75 Broad Street, NY NY 46 47 '''Quote/Offer''' $1290 for colo (includes 20 Amp primary and 20 Amp redundant circuits) + $1240 for bandwidth (10 Mbit/second ''not'' burstable) + $200 cross connect. Total: $2730 (more than Telehouse). This was the second offer after I told them the first offer was way to expensive. 48 49 == !FiberNet == 50 51 '''Contact''' Jamie 52 53 '''Status''' I sent them an email asking for a quote 54 55 '''General Overview''' 56 57 '''Web site''' http://ftgx.com 58 59 '''Facilities address''' 60 Hudson Street 60 61 '''Quote/Offer''' 62 63 == Speakeasy == 64 65 Speakeasy apparently offers colocation at [http://www.speakeasy.net/business/ms/mh/network.php?location=nyc&dis=on the same physical location as telehouse]. Not sure on the pricing. 63 {{{ 64 Cabinet: $500 65 Power: $720 ($18/Amp) 66 Bandwidth: $350 ($35/Mbit) 67 }}}
