That's some expensive traffic and IPs! The 1 Gb/s internal uplink though I find very funny. But getting free refreshments while waiting for data moving at about $10/TB is quite alluring.
Thanks for the laugh!
I don't follow? This is for Rackspace, power, cooling & network connectivity not just transit and IP's....
What is the price for 1Ge 95ile on 10ge port?
2x 8 Port for half a rack seems way to little, same goes to 2x20 for full rack, if rack is 42U..
If you would like any custom pricing please email [email protected]
We can expand the PDU ports if required at no extra cost. We have hundreds of Quarter, Half and Full Racks occupied with no issue on pdu ports. There are many factors involved, amount of servers, switches, other devices and their power consumption.
Naturally if you're planning to fill out of rack full of 40 decent spec servers, you're going to use more than 16A and a conversation is going to need to be had around increasing power commit and in turn power ports.
@veloxserv no 1u & 2u deals?
1U, 2U,3U,4U is on our website https://www.veloxserv.co.uk/colocation/midlands contact us to discuss further if of interest
Thanks,
question - how many Amps does, for example, a 2U Dell r640 need?
As LLM answer says
For a 750W power supply:
Amps=
230V
750W
≈3.26A
For an 1100W power supply:
Amps=
230V
1100W
≈4.78A
And above it states for a quarter rack you give 2 amps so seems too low?
What am I missing.
Your PSU wattage is the maximum that your PSU is rated to handle, not the amount of power your server will draw 24x7. Depends on how you spec out your server, and how efficient your server (and PSU(s) are). My best advice would be to buy a power draw meter (energy monitor), plug your server in for a while, let it idle, and that will give you a good rough estimate as to your average power draw.
But surely the point of co-lo rather than getting a Hetzner/other providers hosted dedicated server (which includes unlimited power and bandwidth) is so you can max out disks and ram and run lots on it.
So guessing these deals will get Noobs hit with unexpected power bills.
A Dell R640 is a 1U machine. With 2 cpu, say 128GB ram and some SSD's you're probably going to sit in the region of ~1A-1.2A
We aim to get as much info from the client as possible (I.e make, model, spec) before they sign up so we can give them the best estimate in power usage. Obviously with Racks we don't have any control over what they decide to put in.
You said in the OP
vs
and 875 - 595 = 280 Pound Sterling which is about $380 - for what? For 8 Amps more power and 30 TB more traffic, so it seems my guesstimate isn't so far off.
As for "for Rackspace, power, cooling & network connectivity", well that's included in both ...
Special joke on top:
for a full rack for a bit less than $1200. But OK, that rack comes with 1 Gb/s internal up-link!
Don't overdo it! 10 Gb/s port? Tsk. What's next? 300 TB traffic, maybe? Tsk.
(But maybe for an additional modest fee of $2000 or $3000 on top. one might think about it - same traffic volume though, you greedy person! * stern gaze)
...you greedy person! * stern gaze)
Don't get personal
Under capitalism it's their job to make as much money as they can get away with, and our job to pay the minimum we can.
On the one hand I feel terribly guilty after reading your post - but on the other do I need to remind you that they offer free refreshments?! So: no capitalistic profit greed to be found with them, only warm and tender hearts!
And indeed, how can a reasonable person not immediately feel an urge to hug the Veloxiraptors after reading their extremely generous offer? After all, there was no mentioning of a fee for looking at one's rack, nor for breathing their filtered air! * stern gaze at you as well
The majority of that extra cost is power (not sure if you're familiar with power pricing in the UK)
We can offer 10Gbps and 100Gbps ports along with whatever traffic allowance you like, if you would like me to quote please email, more than happy to, best not to make assumptions on some comparison between 2 promo prices.
How about you simply making a realistic offer, realistic as in "what customers actually are likely to want" as opposed to full racks with 200 Mb/s and a ridiculous amount of traffic (as in "that's what quite many dedi providers sell as included traffic")?
You see, I did not even know you, let alone dislike you. But what you offered here IMO is a joke.
@jsg
I'm going to guess you're not based in the UK, so can't really comment whether or not any of the pricing is a good deal. But having extensive knowledge of the UK colocation market (like many others on here) you'd know in comparison to the majority of UK datacentres the pricing is very reasonable. I.e for a 16A rack you're looking in the region of £2,000 per month for Central London / Docklands. Outside of London average is ~£1,200 per month.
Not all of our clients host game servers, streaming servers etc so the packages are based on an average snapshot of our customer base (which consists of ~300 racks and hundreds of Gbps of transit and peering consumption) - We are happy to customise every part of the packages to suit particular requirements.
It's a bit unfair to jump onto our post with so much negativity and sarcasm because it doesn't instantly include all of the features you personally want. If you're interested, request a quote based on your requirements and we're more than happy to price based on that.
So, you forgot to mention that your offer addresses only british customers. OK, noted.
UK datacenter colocation isn't cheap and veloxserv is offering it cheap honestly good pricing.
Have you looked up the kWh price in the UK? You were complaining about 8a -> 16a adding a £280/mo fee, yet 8 * 0.230 * 730 = 1343kWh if someone maxed out the included power allowance: 1343/280 =~ £0.21/kWh.
Good luck getting power for 21p/kWh in the UK, especially for business rates. The UK has decided to be "world leaders" in committing economic suicide for arbitrary net zero targets, and therefore electricity is expensive and this deal doesn't seem unreasonable at all given the UK kWh price?
Pretty sure it doesn't address only british customers, but as the data center is located in the UK, the prices of course have to reflect UK energy prices.
@itzgeo @zako12 - Appreciate the responses
No further comment. I'm not here to hunt any provider down ...
@veloxserv Super tempted to upgrade! Special pricing for me? Hahaha
We can always sort something email me

as to your actual question, it obviously depends on what hardware you put in the machine - as an indicator, a R640 with 2x ~100W TDP Xeon Scalable 2s will idle at about 100W, and will go up to ~300W when all the CPU cores are running at 100%. adding spinning disks or high power NICs etc will use more, something like 5W for each.
