It blows my mind people are spending $2000+ per month for a server they can get used for $4000-5000 one time only cost.
VMWare + Synology Business Backup + Synology C2 backup is our way of doing business and never failed us for over 7 years. Why do people spend so much money for cloud while they can host it themselves less than 5% of the cost? (2 year usage assumed).
- adlpz 4y agoI've tried it all except this, including renting bare metal. Nowadays I'm in the cloud but not cloudy camp. Still, I'm intrigued. Apart from the $4-5k server, what are your running costs? Licenses? Colocation? Network?
- vgeek 4y agohttps://www.he.net/colocation.html https://www.he.net/colocation.html They have been around forever and their $400 deal is good, but that is for 42U, 1G and only 15 amps. With beefier servers, you will need more current (both BW and amperage) if you intend on filling the rack.
