Interest in Seattle?

We picked up quite a few servers at Seattle via the Liquid Host acquisition. We're normally in LA.

Just curious as to what interest there is in Seattle vs Los Angeles and if it's worth expanding on.

Thanks!

  • As a Western Canadian, please. The only Seattle provider that's currently reliable is Ramnode. It would be nice to diversify.

    Grudgingly have to vote Seattle on this one. We Pacific Northwesterners need to stick together against the hordes of Californians. (I'm from Portland.) ;)

    I think most people voting Cali are from Asia :p

    That's changing rapidly I feel :-). I see a lot of people, including us, deploying in seattle. We just got some of our wable nodes up in seattle today. The network in Seattle to Canada is pretty great. http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2014/04/25/DXLmJ6kdUjN1Dlfm

    Seattle by a mile. (Put something into Globalswitch or Equinix SY3 please!!)

    I currently have a GVH in LA & a ReverseHosts in San Diego. West Coast is much better for us down here. I am on Internode/ii so data tends to go via the Southern Cross Cable, so Seattle & San Diego are the closest points.

    Just noticed you are in Burwood. I am just down in Campsie. Amazing. Will have to come up and say hello.

  • Seattle for sure. More regulations coming to CA area....nuff said.

    Internode peers with PCCW in LA. They also peer with quite a few other transit carriers, so it's not an issue.

    You should look at Internode's network map http://www.internode.on.net/pdf/network/internode-global-network.pdf before making these conclusions. The peering points are in San Jose and LA.

    Seattle won't help. It'll have to route back to San Jose or LA regardless.

    forget EU and US, won't somebody please think of the Aussies?!?

    I believe there was also some transit in Seattle a while ago as I know I went direct via SXC a few years ago, but that may have changed since the iiBorg. I don't keep up with the Network maps like I used to.

    It would seem my routes through to GVH are crap. Getting pings of 210-220ms, whereas Reversehosts is around 176-179ms. I will look into that further next week.

    The Ramnode Seattle test IP gets ~205ms on both v4/v6, but takes different paths. Both route via SJC but v4 goes nLayer, v6 via HE. Interesting.

    That's a provider, how they run networks and transit problem. Not a matter of location.

    I'm not trying to downplay Seattle. All I'm saying is your problem isn't due to location.

  • Yeah, I know there is something up with the GVH route. I mean that Seattle shouldn't be faster than LA. Anyway, put something in Sydney and I won't have to worry about it!

    Glad to see Seattle doing so well in the poll! Connectivity options in the Westin Building are fantastic. Abundant peering, affordable prices and home to the Seattle Internet Exchange.

    We're in Seattle too :-)

    Same building as RamNode and some of the same upstream carriers as well.

    In Seattle we peer with FiberHub, CNSERVERS and various entities over the SIX: http://bgp.he.net/AS62838#_graph4

    @concerto49 Our AS numbers as eerily similar, at first glance I thought you were advertising our ASN in your signature ;)

    Some interesting numbers here :) (especially #3 and #4)

    DigitalOcean AS62567

    INIZ AS62599

    Query Foundry (Cloud Shards) AS62638

    Crissic AS62639

    Reprise Hosting AS62838

    You got our AS number off by a digit -- it is: AS62838

  • I think that this would be worth adding. It really depeends on if the connectivity is good and what the price differance will be between the two locaitons.
