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.

Atlantic Metro

Location: 325 Hudson St., new data center coming online in the next month or two at 32 6th ave. (AT&T building), have one other data center in manhattan somewhere Pro's and Con's: They run fiber rings throughout manhattan, I think that they provide the metro ethernet between the different carrier hotels, have a nationwide IP backbone, so their network is probably really good. They are a carrier-neutral facility. 24 hour access. Includes first-level support (rebooting, limited keyboard command tasks under customer direction, checking connections, etc)

Provided a full proposal, Network Whitepaper, Network Service Level Agreement and Customer Comments for their LGA6 facility (not sure where this is, will find out)

Full cabinet: 2 (locking): $900, $1980 
Electricity: 40 Amps
Bandwidth: drop in 2x100meg handoffs, 95% 10Mbit: $45/month (this is if we choose their transit)

Price: $2025 ($1980+45 MRC (monthly recurring charge)): note, this is for two cabinets

Cabinet setup one-time: $2000
Cross-connect options:
CAT-5/6: $150 NRC (non-recurring charge)
Riser Fiber: $500 NRC
Fiber: $250 (not sure of the difference between these)
In facility carrier options: Atlantic Metro, Cogent, Global Crossing, RCN Metro, MCI, Verizon, Broadwing, Eureka, Rainbow

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.

Full rack: 1
Electricity: 40 Amps
Bandwidth: 10 Mbit

Price: $1570

Cabinet: $500
Power: $720 ($18/Amp)
Bandwidth: $350 ($35/Mbit)
Colo non-refundable install fee: $500
IP non-refundable install fee: $1500 
12 month contract

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

Full rack: 1 (lockable)
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

Telehouse

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

Voxel

Location: have manhattan facilities, although they are nearly full. Staten Island.

Pro's and Con's: can do cross-connects from Staten Island, but options might be limited (probably can get to 111 8th), badges are $250 each. Can provide cross-connects to telehouse at no additional charge. They have a good customer management portal for power management, measurement and bandwidth. Very proud of their customers (pro or con?), they have mentioned them a few times. Included an Introductory Profile of their company.

Power: 20A, not redundant power due to current availability (ie. need our own UPS)

Price: 15% more than above

Setup fee: $1000
APC 24 port PDU setup fee: $700 (we probably can choose not to include this, but is accessible from their customer management portal for real-time power readings), if you get the 30A circuit, you dont have to pay the PDU setup fee.
