1U Server Co-location

CoXeY · 27 Jun 2006 at 13:43

Afternoon all,

I'm looking to co-locate a 1U Dell Power SC1425 server in a data centre somewhere in or around London (we're based in St. Albans and would like to be within an hours drive should anything go wroung).

The server shifts around 40GB of web traffic per month but this figure is on the rise so pricing on bandwidth would need to be flexible.

Can anyone recommend a suitable host?

Dan.

I would pop over to www.forum2.co.uk and take a look - there's lots and lots of folk there.

I also recommend asking these folk - we use them and it's goood

We use a company called Intechnology, who have offices around the docklands, but also in Germany and Harrogate, which is good if you want to replicate your servers so you can avoid any downtime.

We dont have the bandwidth requirements you do so couldnt say about that.

Traffic is not going to be an issue but power may be - those SC1425 machines can be power hungry if suitably spec'ed up, and it may cost more to co-lo a dual processor machine with several drives. We use www.2host.co.uk for our co-location.
