thoughts anyone?

Its going to cost a lot to collocate, thats about it.

Re: Thinking of getting a Dell PowerEdge 6850
 

Yea, that is not something you want to order. Try to stick with 1U servers as it will cost you 3x less to colocate.

Re: Thinking of getting a Dell PowerEdge 6850
 

derek does not have solid info when it comes to actually having a server colocated. he rents his servers from data centers and does not control the hardware.

Re: Thinking of getting a Dell PowerEdge 6850
 

We own every single piece of hardware that we use for game servers. When you are looking to colocate servers you will be paying per the U, hence if you buy a 4U server you will end up paying more to colocate that server. I hope this helps.

Re: Thinking of getting a Dell PowerEdge 6850
 

if you own all your hardware then why are your reselling servers from ubiquityservers.com?

btw a 4u is only $40 more to colocate then a 1u at some places. one of which is http://www.ubiquityservers.com/colocation/seattle.php

Re: Thinking of getting a Dell PowerEdge 6850
 

Yes, it will cost an extra $40 but it will also cost you more as it will use more amps (that server at least).

Re: Thinking of getting a Dell PowerEdge 6850
 

You pay for space, bandwidth, and power usage in a datacenter since thats what the server uses and what the datacenter provides. For every 4U they could have 4 1Us which is a lot more efficient and possibly allows the datacenter to make more money.
