Hello Meshers,
I'd like to introduce Jon, a former colleague at Wikimedia (he ran the
office network), my generous web host, and an all around good free culture
guy.
After talking with Marc, I asked Jon about options for server colocation.
This is not my realm,so I offer you his suggestion verbatim...hope this is
useful.
Also, should we set him up with a node in SF? Jon has the chops to
troubleshoot stuff on his own, and it would be cool to have a node on that
side of the bay...perhaps a baby step toward that elusive transbay link?
Regardless, I would suggest Jon add his home to the node map -- except it
seems to be offline?? http://map.sudomesh.org/
If responding, please keep in mind Jon is not on the email list, and CC as
appropriate.
-Pete

#3 - I have not. I looked up the website, interesting
stuff. Need a node
in SF? ;-p. My colo of choice for most things is Hurricane Electric
http://www.he.net/colocation.html . Their standard rate for a full 42U
cabinet (with 100meg connection and 15amp power) is $600/mo but I guess
it's on sale right now. You can even bump that to 1gig connect for that
same cab which I think is about $500 more or $1100 total/mo. They also
offer smaller "Getting started" options like a 1/3 rack (with 100meg and
2amp) for $200/mo. The main DC is their FMT2 facility in Fremont. It's not
one of those DCs where you get palm scanners and fancy shit like that, but
if you want DC space on the cheap, I can't think of any options in the area
that would beat it.
