When does VolumeDrive allow you to pop in like that? I hear VolumeDrive has their own DC now in Jacksonville FL, which is a 2 hour drive from me and their colo price is really cheap
Remember, if your emailing VolumeDrive to make sure your email has a font size of 50px at least.
Same mentality too I bet, you've already pointed out same pricing still .... I visited some dialup provider in Springfield in the mid 90's. can't remember who it was, they were like 10 times smaller than I was at the time and he thought he was all that and a bag of chips trying to buy me out.
@KuJoe GoRACK is in downtown Jacksonville, of course you need security like that.
LoL!
VolumeDrive is in GoRACK.
It would be nice if it was only a few dogs. 3 checkpoints, 2 body scans, 1 vehicle check, 1 equipment check, 2 metal detectors, 1 man trap (complete with sound and gas defenses), 1 .50 caliber mounted machine gun, a handful of shotgun ports in the lobby, and then to get into GoRACK you need badge access. Needless to say, if you are a smoker, you don't want to take a break to go grab a cigarette there and if you're hungry, you eat on site or have them order a pizza. Overkill? Probably, but I can guarantee you that if there was a natural disaster in FL, GoRACK would be where I'd want my equipment.
Actually, GoRACK's network is pretty nice. I wish E Solutions had nLayer, they were extremely awesome.
There is a good possibility they have their own bandwidth directly from providers.
@KuJoe Oh really? I had an idea that they were, but someone told me that they had their own DC in Jacksonville, Interesting
@kujoe the reason why gorack needs such prior notice is because they're located in a federal reserve building....?
That and because they aren't always on-site. In an emergency they can be on-site in a few minutes but as I understand it they are not 24x7 right now (could have changed after we left).
They might have their own network in GoRACK which some consider their own data center if they are just leasing space.
Where did you get that pic?? LoL.
@DotVPS Thanks! I always thought that row was them but GoRACK would neither confirm or deny it and they don't label anything on their servers/racks. Now I can sleep better at night. LoL.
Arranged a deal with James at IceColo, I am going to arrange a date for all my curious clients to move UK1 and get UK2 racked and ready.
Price is a little more expensive, But. They have a far superiour network and 24 Hour access.
Cant find any test files for them and burstnet seem to have a fine network for me, any chance of extra bandwidth when you move? :P
Not moving for a good month or two atleast, I am on a 3 Month contract @ BurstNET.
For you, the clients or both?
@DotVPS From the Synergy house to IceColo it is a 15 Min drive.
Under a hour most likely, We still need to justify PI Space so that is another delay.
Is this likely to be in the same time frame as UK1?
@Taylor Yup, Both should be done near enough at the same time.
@DotVPS We need PI Space, IceColo charge £1.00/IP.
@DotVPS Huh?
@DotVPS £1.00/IP no matter on your allocation size.
FYI: BurstNET is INSIDE IceColo aswell
I'd be concerned if they were colocating outside the building
Francisco
Nope, Not quite. BurstNET are in the synergy house, While the office is in green heys.
The facility they use is GoRack. <-- I could be wrong, But they are seperate facilities.
IceColo have their own datacenter, Have one of the largest networks in the UK, This is why I was saying that the network would improve hugely.
