I'm considering buying some rack space where I work and a small amount of bandwidth to start with. I was wondering if anyone would want to colo their own server and help offset some of the cost, I get a discount but I still can't justify spending that much on my own right now when i don't 100% need it yet.
General details of the datacenter:
2 datacenters, on different floors of this 21 story building
7Gbits of optical connections to the world
4 Cisco 6500 series routers with a wave division 4Gbit redundant ring between them, can lose 3 and still stay online. 2 onsite, 2 offsite, 4 seperate locations
Cisco 3550 Layer 3 switches that do internal routing and switching
4 massive battery backups and a 1.5Megawatt Generator w/1500 gallons of onsite fuel
A little over 2000 servers are housed here, and I have unrestricted access to everything considering I'm one of the engineers
I spend a lot of time here so I'm a short walk away from any server problems and I don't have to go through support channels if my stuff breaks when I'm not around
Candice (can) has seen this place...it's not the corner of someone's basement
I'm not in a huge rush I'm just planing out what I'm going to do, so if anyone is interested drop me a PM or something...
