If you don't mind me asking, how much of that cost is colocation and bandwidth respectively?

- idlewords 10y agoI get bandwidth as part of the whole package at both facilities I use: Full rack at HE (Fremont) @ 10 Mbps: $900 1/4 rack at Datacate (Sacramento) @ 10 Mbps: $350
- patryn20 10y agoThanks for the info. I'm looking to move a rack from DFW to somewhere on the west coast. Everyone I ask so far indicates I'll be paying more to do so.
- idlewords 10y agoI found the whole procurement process to be really frustrating, as someone new to the world. You have to talk to salespeople (even for what is a commodity service) and pricing is very opaque. Moreover, there are pitfalls like the fact that a rack never comes with enough power to run more than 1/3 full, and everyone treats this as normal.
- patryn20 10y agoYeah. I have experience procuring space for clients, but even so it's tough to get a reasonable deal on the west coast. In Dallas, I can routinely pickup a full rack with dual 20amp circuits, dual ethernet drops, and 200-400mbps unmetered for $700 a month. That's what I'm paying for racks in two separate Dallas datacenters currently. If you're willing to go north a little bit, ViaWest might give you basically the same deal in one of their Oregon datacenters.
- idlewords 10y agoThe Dallas thing sounds pretty sweet. Would you mind emailing me (maciej@ceglowski.com) so I can pepper you with questions?
