Where can I get this?
What's the point of having a whole 42U cabinet with just 1440 Watts available to it?
For only $400/month it's decent. I imagine it's to get people to upgrade power later, don't they have heaps of space there?
Space is cheap, power isn't. And then of course there is the HE network... Good luck.
The point is they're individually locked. They have few enough customers that they can give each a full cabinet ...
From my investigations, other carriers in these data centers will quote rather high for bandwidth, so you're basically stuck with HE network.
These data centers also have a history of power outages that are more frequent and of longer duration than the industry average.

Apparently, HE believes in backup power, but not in N+1.
And of course there is HE's power stability**
FTFY.

Still better than CC Buffalo?
Well, you get what you pay for. For some low end, non critical, very tight budget it's probably OK though.
No.
Do you price beat?
NOT ON THE PREMIUM BUFFALO BUFFALO BUFFALO NETWORKZ. DIS PREMIUM U HEAR?
I got the mail with the link with
Yea, 36W per U is pretty pointless.... barely enough for an Atom.
IIRC this is Fremont 1, not Fremont 2. I've never seen it fail as horrible as before again (i.e. A+B) though since like 2012.
Depending on destination: Yes, HE beats out CCs BUF mix, i never faced the same slow speed problems to many EU networks (as proven in the recent CC thread here by me and others, including drserver) with Linode in FMT2 on singlehomed HE.
@william
What about He connectivity to Asia
for hosting some non critical stuff
But what if you use some U for a switch, and a UPS?
Sorry i haven't colocated servers in US is UPS allowed in cabinet if so i can ask HE to get one more socket for power 15 amp 120 V
UPS Like this one http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=sua2200rmi2u&ISOCountryCode=us
I already calculated with 40U instead of 42.
Special is in Fremont 2 according to the special.pdf file.
Master!
Well, it's a nice offer, but I think they could offer a little more connection speed as a "promotion"
For example, we're offering a 60U rack (48 U main + 12 U on sides) with a full 10 Gbps Guaranteed connection for only 660 EUR ... and they offer only 1 Gbps for this 42 U rack ...
your offer is in Romania
Can your offer this is any other loactions
Unfortunately not. Our collocation offer is limited to Romania for the moment.
Switch doesn't use power?
I suppose that it will use much less than a server?
Depends on the switch or in the server. You'd be surprised how much can a proper switch draw.
Lol at 14kw h 200 pound 4u to 8u Switches
Maybe it wasn't that much but saw it at dslreports
All it takes is one customer using this for transit and you get $10k of losses per customer/month.
HE datacenter/network is mostly crap, but at least they can deliver the gbps.
Edit: looks like your upstream is M247? Considering their congestion to a lot of destinations, it's pretty difficult to believe you could reasonably deliver those 10 gpbs.
This switch pulls around 10amps with 384x 1 gigabit ports :-0 https://www.facebook.com/Incero/videos/vb.259717217401213/1029405663765694/?type=2&theater
Anyway, I like the HE.net network for peering, they have an awesome peering policy.
the hell O.o
384 what must be feeding that unless thats a internal switch but still DANG>>>.
