Looking for US Colo with Local Hardware Sourcing (2U, 10G)

newbieshan

Hi LET,

I’m looking for a US colocation provider (or a provider + local partner) who can help with a slightly unusual setup, since I don’t live in the US.

What I need:

Rack space: 1 × 2U server, 12 × 3.5" bays
Port: 10Gbps uplink preferred (I’m open to hearing about 1G options that can be upgraded later)
Bandwidth: 100TB+/month, or unmetered if the price makes sense
IPs: 1 × IPv4 + IPv6 /64 (or bigger)
Power: around 1A @ 120V (or the 230V equivalent), enough for a 12-drive storage box
Location: anywhere in the US is fine. West Coast (LA / San Jose) is a plus for latency to Asia.

The unusual part (hardware):

Since I’m not in the US, I’d like the provider to source used/refurbished server hardware locally (e.g., a used Supermicro 2U 12-bay chassis, a platform with something like E5-2600 v4, RAM, and an HBA in IT mode), then assemble it and rack it. I’d pay for the hardware plus a reasonable labor/sourcing fee.

I’d ship the hard drives myself directly to the datacenter, so you’d need to be able to receive the package and install the drives.

Please reply here or send me a PM with an offer. Thanks!
