Possibly looking for 10U in Dallas. I currently have;

3 x AsRock Rack 1U2LW-X470 1U Rackmount (AMD Ryzen 5 5600X) 1TB SSD+6TB SATA Servers.

2 x L5620 64GB 4 x 10TB Servers

2 x Ubiquiti Routers

1 x Ubiquiti Switch

Bandwidth - pref 100m/1g port 95th percentile.

IPv4 - Pref /27 or /26

Potentially interested in a cross connect to Cogent but I really don't wanna have to pay a MRC for a cross connect.

Would need redundant power A+B with the opportunity to run BGP in a couple months.

I'm not necessarily looking for something cheap more so looking for something stable and where my equipment won't come up missing.

If no one does 10U id be interested in a half cabinet as well just depends on price.

Any thoughts id prefer to pay more and have my equipment safe and 99% uptime.

    @swat4 Thanks for the tag!
    @imok thanks as well <3!

    @TGT we can certainly help you out.

    We specialize in Colocation and Dedicated server rentals out of Dallas, TX.

    By default our 1/4 rack comes with the following below:
    1/4 rack (11u)
    8amps @ 120V
    10TB Bandwidth on 1Gbps port
    DDoS protection and network from Hivelocity.
    IPv4 /28 (13 usable IPs) + IPv6 /64
    $300/month

    Our racks are located within the Carrier-1 facility in Dallas, TX which has Cogent onsite.
    As you had mentioned you were interested in Cogent in the future, sadly there are costs to the MMR (meet me room).

    While our 1/4 rack comes standard with /28 IP's you can upgrade it to /27 for $16/month.
    (Our cost is $1/IP/Month sold in subnets)

    We offer increased options for bandwidth at $2/TB sold in 5TB blocks.

    Our racks are attached to the facility's APC units as well as generators.

    The only thing I am not sure we can assist on is A+B power with a 1/4 rack. Generally, A+B or A+A power is done with 1/2 rack or full racks where clients provide their own PDU's and get the power drops of their choice (1/4 rack you share a PDU with another customer).

    We do allow BGP for our colocation customers.

    Final pricing
    1/4 rack (11u)
    8amps @ 120V
    30TB Bandwidth on 1Gbps port (roughly 100Mbps unmetered)
    DDoS protection and network from Hivelocity.
    IPv4 /27 (29usable IPs) + IPv6 /64
    $356/month

    If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here, dm or via Discord: Ian.D#8515
    and I will be happy to assist.

    Thank you @swat4 & @SirFoxy for the shoutout.

    I think you mean Joshua Prout from Texas, then yes, but he's not @DataIdeas-Josh.

    I know ;) I'm just breaking @DataIdeas-Josh's balls - @jar already confirmed he's not Prout.

    Another +1 for @Ian_Dot_Tech :) Actually, I want to say +1^6 cuz I have a server at L1S and they are super great! :) Best onboarding ever! They treat you like you are their best friend! :)

    Alternatively, if you might want to be at HE (I am unsure what facilities HE has in Dallas) Mike Leber told me that HE would give a free rack to anybody who might let me put a server in the free rack for free.

    Edit to add specific details of the offer from HE:

    $0/month, 42U full cabinet, A&B (primary and redundant) 20 amp 208
    volt power, 1 Gbps on gige Internet connection. To qualify for this get
    somebody that has their own ASN and address space and that knows how to
    run BGP and Hurricane Electric will give them a free cabinet with power
    and 1 Gbps on gige IP Transit if they install a real router (cisco,
    juniper, arista, extreme, mikrotik, ubiquiti) with 10GE interfaces and
    list themselves in peeringdb as being present in our data center. Then
    get your friend to let you put a server or two in the free cabinet you
    arranged for them. ;)

    @TGT Hope you find a great place in Dallas!

    Best wishes and kindest regards!

    How do you like your Ubiquiti gear?

  • The best care of all providers i worked and work i receive from DataIdeas-Josh. For now i'm preeeeetty tiny customer for him but he handles any of my insane requests (believe, they are really non-standard:)) as his own. Not sure what decision will you do, but i can say for sure that he is a person you can rely on. They have Cogent btw, and a lot of other ISPs there in DC.

    Thank you for the kind words.

    We just have the v4 routes for the other providers disabled at the moment however we have our engineer working on this to properly fix the routes so we canoffer BGP for clients.
