ca. 80EUR / month ex. VAT

Thanks for any reply :)

Looks good.

I like it. What about 1tb out? If I actually manage to fill the drives with data, and then need all of it for an emergency restoration, can I pay for the transfer?

Where can I sign up?

dearroy

nice offer.

The limit is more theoretical anyway, it likely will be 10TB IN/OUT shared I'm still calculating the price, but it will be around that then :)

Should note: The HDDs are "24hour HDDS" (for video recorders) but not "real" enterprise HDDs, we never had any issues with them though.

Can you please share the brand/model of the 3TB enterprise drives? Our suppliers only have up to 2TB enterprise HDDs :(

He said that they we're desktop models, I think

Sounds good to me

Consumer/NAS: Seagate SV35 ST3000VX000 - 3TB 7200rpm 64MB 3.5zoll SATA600 138EUR

Enterprise: Likely these will be used however: Western Digital Green WD30EZRX - 3TB 5400rpm 64MB 3.5zoll SATA600 120EUR

Or, maybe a cheaper edition with 4x2TB:

Consumer/NAS: Seagate Spinpoint ST2000DL004/HD204UI - 2TB 5400rpm 32MB 3.5zoll SATA300 68EUR

Enterprise: Seagate ST2000VM002 Pipeline HD 5900.2 - 2TB 5900rpm 64MB SATA300 89EUR

Hardware specs are similar to HP microserver. It is a good small backup/NAS server and very cheap; it also supports virtualization and has ecc memory (a must have for a backup server). Colocation could be a better value for this low-end server, do you have a special price for this? Edis standard colocation rate is geared towards high-specs, high-power servers.

i've had pretty bad experience with the wd green's. have you looked into the samsung f3?

the first seagate drive looks pretty good

MrAndroid

I would be interested

Because it is one :)

No, they use quite much power and space, so default price. The high price is also intended, we do not like to sell colocation at all.

MrAndroid

Would this come with IPMI or KVMoIP?

William

@MrLawoodle said: Would this come with IPMI or KVMoIP?

No/No. These servers have no internal iLO as usual HPs do.

MrAndroid

@William said: These servers have no internal iLO as usual HPs do.

No possibility to have temp KVMoIP for the custom install?

William

This is possible of course.

This looks very affordable, but a slight overkill for my needs. I'm sure some people would love to get their hands on these specs though.

I think 3x3tb with minimum of 2tb outbound bw @ 70EUR would be the perfect deal. Comes in just under $90.00 USD and has just the right amount of space. Though I suppose for those who want to setup raid5 or better the extra drive could come in handy. I would probably just stripe (raid0) and use it to store back-ups and 9TB would be plenty. As I said though, depends on your intended use. Drives seem a little slow to do a vps server of anykind with decent io, but perfect for storage and back-ups.

My 2 Cents.

P.S. If you think you will offer something around the 70EUR price point with 9tb send me a pm, i may snag one if I can fit it in my budget.

Edit: I re-read and saw it is gbit, my bad :)

yea, no, that is totally unrealistic...

rds100

It could be realistic, with a 200EUR setup fee :)

bobby

Definately interested.

TheLinuxBug

@William said: yea, no, that is totally unrealistic...

I figured that was saving you about 120EUR+/- on a drive and would be worth a savings of 10 EUR on the cost of the server monthly. Are you saying regardless of the one less drive you would still charge the same? What is realistic?

P.S. I am not concerned with having a SSD drive either for boot, the 3 3tb drives would be plenty.

William

Argh, Yes, it is totally realistic, i am not sure wtf i did read there...

Damian

How much longer on this? :P

William

This was only a request if anyone is interested at all.... not an offer at all :)

Fliphost

Slips a check on @William 's desk ;)

TheLinuxBug

@William Well if you do decide to put it together and think you can hit around that price point let me know! Thanks.

Oliver

With the VAT isn't that going to be almost 100 euro?

I just ask because by then you're almost competing with something like this offer from Hetzner: http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produkte_rootserver/xs13

William

Yes, but we don't compete with Hetzner - entirely different business structure.

Oliver

The end product is what many (maybe not us LET'ers) look at though. :-)

BTW if these are the HP boxes pointing out they have ECC RAM would be a benefit as that makes a difference for storage servers IMO.
