Colocation Options

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.

Telehouse

Pros and cons: We get to keep our IP addresses. Yay! Terrible transportation options and pricey electricity.

We can keep our IP addresses

Convergent Networks

Location: Hicksville, LI

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. micah notes: quote came in a word document that didn't render properly in openoffice, so I might have fudged these numbers trying to eyeball how it was meant to be presented. They included their terms of service and their network availability and throughput SLA

Electricity: 40 Amps
Bandwidth: 50 Mbit (how much for overage? they seemed flexible)

Price: $1499

Combined price: $1499
Extra electricity is billed at $15/Amp (but seemed flexible on this)
12 month contract, extendible in 3-month increments, termination fee: $500

Bandcon

Location: 111 8th Avenue

Pro's and Con's: Great location, would require new IPs

micah notes: if they are really located at 111 8th, then we would be able to get cross-connects from anyone in the building, which is everyone, so you may not need to re-ip.
