1U colocation EU (preferred Germany)
Hi,
I am looking for a colocation offer for my HP Gen9 server.
I currently consume ~250 watts on average (30 day average measured via iLO).
I would like to have 10g (SFP+) to catch traffic peaks, but I actually never consume more than 5-7TB/month (including backups). If a PBS is available for internal backups, the traffic volume is reduced even more.
I also need a /27 subnet v4 and a /48 v6 + DDoS Protection.
For iLO I need an RJ45 cable.
Otherwise power and network redundancy would be desirable, but at least power.
What price should I expect in 2023? Would also agree to a 24 month contract including prepayment.
Thanks in advance,
Xedon

Do you have a specific price range in mind?
I really can't estimate the prices in 2023 anymore. Some of the prices have exploded so much...
We could offer that in Frankfurt, Germany.
Power is priced at 37,5ct per kWh which is among the lowest in Frankfurt.
We also run several PBS instances which you could use as well.
BGP sessions and BYOIP are available for free
1 HE
15TB Traffic
1x 10Gbit/s SFP+ uplink
1x RJ45 with VPN access
/27 IPv4 + /48 IPv6

If you commit for two years we could bring the price below 100€
In case you want to reduce your power usage, we can also offer affordable EPYC systems for either renting or buying.

Located in The Netherlands.
75€ per month ex VAT
24 months contract, 3months pre-payment
DDoS protection included (combhaton).
remote hands are 30€/15min but you are having ilo4, very very powerful. Usually remote hand then not needed unlike you need to replace parts.
we use HP Hardware as well.
show us a better deal and we might beat it.
We can offer the following in our London, UK Facility
1U Co-Location
250W Power (A+B)
10Gbps Link - 30TB Bandwidth
CosmicGuard DDoS Protection
79.99 Monthly
thanks for your offer!
which data center would that be in Frankfurt?
if I see that correctly, that would be the Skylink Datacenter in the Netherlands?
UK is difficult. Since I would have to pay customs etc. if I understand correctly.
Yup.
Adding another upstream (external) soon as well!
We have own equipment, routers etc there.
Full row of Racks is us in the new hall.
Understandable - not too sure how it works from a customs point of view if you’re only ‘temporarily’ relocating hardware.
We’ve also got a presence over on the West Coast, US, for 59.99GBP, but that’s likely out of your location requirement
Your server would be located in our rack with MK Netzdienste FRA2
https://www.mk.de/isp-carrier/isp-carrier-rechenzentrum
It features a much higher efficiency compared to most other facilities here. Therefore, we can likely offer better long-term pricing, considering the energy situation in Europe
The FRA2 from MK Netzdienste is good. I love them.
I was there several years with one server and had no outage.
May I ask, if the 250W/180kwh power consumption is already included in the 112€/month?
Yes, 250W power is included, I forgot to clarify
Thank you for the offers!
I have to think about. I've also heard that electricity prices will drop again in the next few months. Possibly currently is also really not a good time.
