I get a few of these requests every now and then, so would just like to share some quick knowledge.
Power cost in APAC is crazily different than Europe/US. You are looking at $450-550 per kw in anything that is remotely a datacenter (because there are a lot of "not so datacenters" too, who backhaul network to an actual datacenter closeby). The same thing in the US/EU would cost somewhere between $150-250 per kw.
Then add any bandwidth, human cost, profit margins, etc on top.
For something like a dual E5-2690v2 running at 70% usage, you are looking at ~500-600w average draw. So ~$300 per month in just power cost alone.
Do you know the power draw of your server? A 2U server can draw 100w, and it can draw 800w, so it doesn't really help with helping you with any sort of recommendations.
Hi mate, as @hosthatch said, electricity in the APAC region is more expensive than you think.
The price we have given you is the cost price, which includes the cost of RH.
Yeah
Just exploring the options
Not 100% sure if Path/Tempest are offering Tokyo colocation, but you could try reaching out to them and seeing what they offer. Especially if you are doing a long-term contract, they may be able to help.
Many (some?) LET providers uses @xTom for Japan.
