Good afternoon, all,
As many of you know, I have two cohosted rackmount machines (2U
each and possibly an external drive cage), one in Pennsylvania, and one at
my office in Hanover. For different reasons, I'm hoping to get those to a
new cohosting facility within driving distance of Lebanon/Hanover (I'm
really tired of driving 9.5 hours for maintenance :-). In a perfect
world, that would be less than an hour away, but I'd be open to Manchester
or Burlington. Boston's a little far.
I'm paying about $100/month already. I do need access to 64 IP
addresses because of the virtual machines on the systems, and a
non-trivial amount of bandwidth.
Can anyone offer thumbs up/thumbs down to any local cohosting
sites (price, techical strength, ease of physical access, availability of
IP's, and available bandwidth)?
- Valley.net (recently sold to sover.net; do they cohost at all?
Montshire museum would be perfect! :-)
- sover.net (do they cohost in brattleboro only?)
- G4
- Segnet?
- Others?
Also, at the post GNHLUG meeting dinner, someone mentioned that
there might be a cohost site in Manchester that offered half-racks (24U)
for around $300? Does that ring a bell?
If that turned out to be a reasonable approach, does anyone else
have rackmount systems and interest in splitting part of a rack with me?
Sincere thanks in advance for any leads. *smile*
Cheers,
- Bill
